On this edition of the weekly buff, we have a beautiful Metallic black M8 that came in needing paint correction and also got PPF and Ceramic Coating. This one came in a beautiful Metallic, and it needed some paint correction nothing heavy before we could apply anything else to the vehicle to preserve the perfect paint finish we would get soon.
As always, the crew began with a full decontamination wash using our EVO Shampoo along with our Foam Cannon. The boys also used a blue mild clay bar to remove anything abrasive that may have been on the paint from transport and the first few hundred miles of driving. Once that was complete, the crew began the paint correction process with our EVO 21 polishers along with the new polishing pads that have cut work time down almost in half. They used a microfiber and 2000 cut polish for their first step, and used our EVO white foam 100ppi pad along with our 3000 finishing polish to remove any haze left from the first step.
Once they were done, the paint was ready for PPF and Ceramic Coating. Josh and Nick began the full nose PPF application with the hood and bumper, which was more difficult than it looks with all the contours and multiple pieces that go into it. Once they were done with that, they moved on to the fenders, as well as all the smaller carbon fiber inserts that were separate pieces entirely. It was completely invisible to the naked eye, and once the guys completed that, Lukus and JR began the ceramic coating process. We applied our 9H Ceramic Coating, which will provide 4 years of protection, along with our Plastic Renew & Protect for all the plastic trim. We applied our EVO Wheel & Caliper Coating to protect the wheels from brake dust staining over time, as well as our EVO Glass Coating to ensure the entire vehicle is easy to maintain over time.
Once everything was complete, the owner was ready for pickup and was beyond happy he ended up going with the coating after being hesitant at first.

Why This Combo Works
Pairing PPF with ceramic coating protects an M8 like this from every angle. The PPF absorbs rock chips and road debris on the nose and fenders, while the ceramic coating locks in the gloss, resists UV fading, and makes the car far easier to maintain. Add the wheel, caliper, and glass coatings, and the finish stays showroom-fresh for years, not months — which is why the owner walked away thrilled after being on the fence at first.
