Preparation & Machine Polishing
Before applying any protection, the bodywork received a single-stage machine polish to remove any defects such as swirls and marring, creating the ideal base for both PPF and coatings.
Why this step matters:
- Removes defects rather than masking them (swirls, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, haze)
- Improves gloss and clarity for sharper reflections and improved depth
- Evens out finish quality so the car looks consistently better in all lighting
- Helps PPF and coatings bond and perform as intended
XPEL Paint Protection Film Installation

Gtechniq Ceramic Coatings
For the bodywork without PPF, we applied Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, topped with EXO. Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra is backed with a 9-year guarantee.
Once the film had fully settled, we coated the PPF with Gtechniq Halo, a ceramic coating designed specifically for use on paint protection film.

The main benefits of ceramic coating
- Easier maintenance
- Protection from environmental damage such as bird poo
- Enhanced hydrophobic performance
- Improved gloss and surface slickness
We also coated the wheels — inside and out — using Gtechniq’s high-performance ceramic products to protect them from brake dust, road grime, and corrosion.
Why This Package Works on UK Roads
Modern performance cars pick up damage quickly on daily-driven UK roads. This protection package is designed to reduce the most common issues — stone chips, light scratches, swirl marks, and contamination build-up — while keeping the finish looking sharper and easier to wash.
For this BMW M3 Touring, this meant combining:
- Preparation and polishing to refine the finish before protection
- Gtechniq ceramic coatings for durability, chemical resistance, gloss, and easier maintenance (including a coating option suited to PPF)
- XPEL self-healing PPF for impact-prone areas
