Porsche Macan – PPF film protection

Porsche Macan Wrapped in Film

Nothing reveals a caring car owner more than a shiny, smooth car body. This result can be achieved in only two ways: constant polishing or wrapping. Polishing may not meet expectations—as scratches will reappear over time, followed by scuffs.

Wrapping with an anti-gravel film is an effective way to keep the car body in perfect condition for many years. Just apply the film once, and enjoy its protective properties without worrying about constant maintenance of your car.

A car owner brought a Macan to our studio for wrapping. The main goal was protection against damage, and the specialists at CarEngineering selected the appropriate film for the car body. In this review, we’ll tell you how the wrapping process went.

Which film to choose for protection and which for styling? We explain the difference

Vinyl and polyurethane are two types of film coatings you can choose at our studio. These films differ greatly in purpose, properties, and lifespan.

Vinyl is suitable for Porsche if the main goal is to change the design. This coating offers a variety of shades, textures, patterns, and prints. The appearance of the car body can be completely transformed beyond recognition, which is the main advantage of vinyl film.

After wrapping a Porsche Macan in vinyl, the driver also receives minimal protection for the body. The film will protect the car from branches, sand, which cause scratches, as well as careless washing, cleaning chemicals, bird droppings, and insect marks.

Unfortunately, vinyl film will not withstand gravel or stones hitting the body. If a stone hits at high speed, it will likely damage the film. Therefore, vinyl cannot be considered full protection for the car from damage—it should be chosen for styling purposes. Additionally, with a lifespan of five years, you can change the design more often, but for protection, this may not be enough.

Wrapping the Porsche Macan

If you want to forget about damage for a long time, take a look at polyurethane film for your Porsche. This coating has all the properties needed for effective body protection, including:

Thickness from 150 to 210 microns. This is one of the main parameters determining the level of protection. Polyurethane resists scratches, scuffs, minor chips, small accidents, bad parking, bumper bumps, and careless washing.
Functionality in a wide temperature range. A Porsche wrapped in film will be reliably protected year-round, in all weather conditions, and during sharp temperature changes. Even when moving from cold to warm environments, the film will not crack or peel off the body.
Self-healing of scratches with heat exposure. Since polyurethane is more like flexible rubber, when heated, the film returns to its original shape. Yes, over time scratches will appear on the Macan, but exposure to sunlight will cause them to disappear. As a result, the film will remain smooth and shiny throughout its lifespan.
Durability from 5 to 8 years of active driving. Thanks to its long service life, polyurethane is considered a promising protective solution. The film is applied once, requires no maintenance, and can be removed without leaving marks on the paintwork. Just don’t keep it on longer than the manufacturer recommends, or there might be issues with removal.

A qualified specialist can always help you choose the right film, based on your preferences.

You can trust the film we use for the Macan. Our company works with official film suppliers. We only purchase fresh films, whose quality has been proven over time.

Full Porsche wrapping: One step closer to reliable protection

When the client arrived at our studio, they already knew they wanted full wrapping. This comprehensive solution maximally protects all body parts from damage. There’s no need to worry about accidental damage to certain parts, as all of them are covered by the film.

In addition to full wrapping, we offer the Anti-Chrome service—covering the chrome elements of the Porsche Macan with black vinyl. Here are the benefits of this package:

Additional protection for small elements from scratches and rust—vinyl covers the grille, window frames, moldings, chrome elements on the bumpers, brand badges, and logos.
Adding a unique style—the black film gives the car a unified appearance, especially on a black body.

It’s also worth considering that chrome elements lose their original appearance over time due to alkaline chemicals at car washes and harmful road agents. Additional film covering will preserve the elements in their original condition. But even if you simply don’t like the look of chrome, the anti-chrome service is always a good idea.

At our studio, you can also choose to wrap the risk zones on your Porsche Macan. This involves applying film to the most vulnerable parts that are prone to scratches: bumpers, hood, lights, windshield pillars, mirror covers, and front fenders. As a bonus, we wrap the door handle cups.

Partial wrapping is the minimum level of protection. This solution is effective if the car is used infrequently, which means fewer scratches on unprotected parts. However, if driven daily with partial wrapping, wear differences will be noticeable after the film is removed.

Our specialist can help you choose the right type of wrapping, considering the way the car is driven and your specific needs.

CarEngineering – Reliable car wrapping for years to come

Our studio is result-oriented, investing all our knowledge and skills into every wrapping job. Preparation and the wrapping process always take into account the car’s structural features.

For example, to ensure high-quality wrapping for the Porsche, our technicians removed the bumper and door handles. This step improves the quality of the wrapping. All removed elements are wrapped separately and reinstalled according to factory standards.

Our technicians also took into account the specifics of the Macan’s body. Since the model has a large and unusual body, we chose a film with a width of 1.82 meters, not the standard 1.52 meters. This ensures perfect coverage without stretching.

We guarantee safe disassembly. A qualified specialist who understands Porsche’s design and structural features works on your car. Parts are removed carefully, without rushing.

Another important step before applying the protective film to the Macan is washing. The entire body is thoroughly cleaned in several stages. The inner side of the parts is also cleaned, which is important for quality wrapping with film folds.

Once the car is fully prepared, it’s time to work with the film. The covering is first cut to fit each part of the car and then applied to the body.

The next step is smoothing the film on the Porsche. Since the client chose transparent film, the main goal is to make it completely invisible after smoothing. Rubber squeegees are used to carefully smooth the film without stretching it.

After the film is perfectly smoothed, the excess edges are trimmed. Using a special tool, the technicians go over the entire body, paying particular attention to corners and seams.

Folding is the final step in wrapping the Porsche Macan. Wrapping just 1-1.5 mm of film under the body significantly enhances protection. Here are the key advantages of folding:

Prevents the film from peeling off during high-pressure washing.
Reduces the likelihood of damage from flying debris if the edges are tucked under the part.

The practice of cutting film along the edges of parts has long proven to be unreliable. That’s why our specialists do everything to improve the quality of protection. Folding is used for every car in our studio—it’s a hallmark of professional wrapping.

After the folding, the car is left to dry thoroughly, usually until the next day. It’s essential to wait so that the wet edges dry and don’t peel off if the driver encounters rain.

Caring for a Porsche Macan wrapped in film is easy. You can wash the car anywhere, as often as you like, without affecting the film’s appearance or properties. The only rule is to avoid washing the car for a week after wrapping. We’re happy to let you know that the first wash will take place in our studio.

As part of our aftercare service, we invite clients for a check-up and offer a complimentary wash. CarEngineering cares about the quality of its work and the satisfaction of its clients. Quality and results are our top priorities.
