With German Cars - Porsche 911 (2014) and Xpel Film. What is the best way to treat the car Paint and the film

I have used Rejex & P21S Concours But with so many different products it is impossible to know the best for Country specific
cars and film

German Cars definitely have a different paint job than American or Italian.

So what would you recommend for German Cars (Porsche) and Xpel film?

Menzerna products are made for German cars like ours. However, that said, I will tel you that HDProducts have finished amazingly well on my Audi. Like a deep black mirror.

I have Premium Shield Elite on the entire front of my car which is comparable to the top of the line Xpel and honestly, there's not much you need to do other than keep it clean and coat it. Don't use a buffer on it just hit it with some good quality detail spray or liquid sealants. I've used bug/tar remover and sealant wise, Optiseal, Crystal Seal and just recently Car Pro Reload.

Hi, welcome to AutoGeekOnline!

I enjoy using Menzerna products on German paint. They work very well with German paint systems. After all, Menzerna supplies all the big German manufacturers with product directly on the assembly line.

Which machine and pads are you using?

Which sealant do you think works the best in your experience. The Rejex has worked ok but would like a great sealant for film. The top of bimmer is Wow..

Thanks. There are tons of great sealants. I use Menzerna Powerlock. Between applications I like Blackfire a crystal seal. Trying out CarPro Reload now.

Another couple shots of the Audi: I use and love Blacklight Glaze. Two coats, seal it up with Menzerna and then top that with some Collinite, either 915 or in winter, I use 845.

The softest micro with reload spray and very little pressure.once it's marred from continued applications of polishes and such it will not look so good.
