Porsche 911 Turbo S: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

Porsche 911 Turbo S is sporty, luxurious, and elegant. The car looks expensive and prestigious, attracts attention, and remains the dream of many.

Wrapping the car in protective film is the most effective way to preserve the appearance of a Porsche 911. The body won’t get scratched, and the glossy shine will remain. Alternatively, you can cover your originally glossy Porsche with a matte film for a different but equally interesting effect.

In this review, we will discuss the process of wrapping a Porsche in glossy polyurethane film in detail, highlighting important nuances that are crucial for achieving a high-quality result and long-lasting protection.

Polyurethane Film is More Effective Than Any Other Coating

The thickness of polyurethane starts at 150 microns and reaches up to 225 microns, with the maximum thickness available in Russia being 210 microns. The thicker the film, the stronger the protection. The level of protection you need depends on various factors, and our managers will always help you choose the best option.

Even with minimal thickness, polyurethane film will protect your Porsche from:

Gravel and sand,
Insects,
Snow, rain, hail, and scorching sun,
Road chemicals, especially anti-ice agents,
Bird droppings,
Tree branches and sap,
Rough car washes.

In everyday driving, we don’t always notice how constantly surrounding factors can harm the car. For example, if you drive on freshly marked roads, paint traces may remain on the body, which are hard to remove without damaging the original paint. In winter, anti-ice chemicals and road salt can cause rust to form, which is not only damaging to the car but also expensive to fix.

Another example is car washes, which you might visit almost every week. This is especially important if you frequently change car wash locations or use self-service washes. Hard brushes and high-pressure water can damage the car’s original paint. But if your Porsche is wrapped in protective film, there’s no need to worry. While stiff bristles may leave scratches on the film, if you chose polyurethane, there’s nothing to fear.

Scratches and scuffs on polyurethane can self-heal.

It sounds unreal, but it’s true. Polyurethane film is similar to rubber in its properties and can change shape when exposed to heat.

There are two options here:

Wait for a hot summer day. Let your Porsche 911 sit under direct sunlight for a few hours, and the scratches will disappear.
Gently heat the film, but be careful not to damage it.

Another important feature of polyurethane film is its wide temperature resistance. Cold winters and hot summers won’t affect the film’s protective properties. For example, if you drive into a warm car wash or garage from a frosty winter day, nothing will happen—the polyurethane coating will remain intact and undamaged.

Polyurethane allows 100% of sunlight to pass through to the car’s body, so the film won’t fade or cloud over during its entire lifespan. Polyurethane film lasts for 8-10 years under regular driving conditions. Maintaining a Porsche 911 Turbo wrapped in film is simple—just occasionally wash the car.

We recommend not keeping the film on for longer than its expected lifespan, as it may become difficult to remove. If removed on time, there will be no residue left on the Porsche’s body. The film comes off in one piece with the adhesive layer intact. The car’s body will look as new as it did 8-10 years ago.

After that, you can rewrap your Porsche in glossy or any other film—colored, matte, or with a pearlescent sheen. In fact, you can check out how a Volkswagen Touareg looks in glossy and pearlescent matte films in one of our other reviews. We’ve also covered the unique features of matte film and shown how it looks on a Mercedes GLS.
