Case Study: 2018 Porsche Panamera 4
Case Study: 2018 Porsche Panamera 4
Today’s case study is a 2018 Porsche Panamera 4, in Dolomite Silver Metallic.
This car belongs to a good clients of mine, who is a top wealth advisor for people with a net worth in the high eight figures.
He is very careful when it comes to the cleanliness of his car, because he considers it an integral part of his image. As a result, we see the car for a thorough cleaning almost every month.
My client takes full advantage of the Clean My Car convenient system, booking all his appointments online, and then leaving the keys with the concierge at his high-rise building.
This works perfectly for him, because every minute he doesn’t spend dealing with trivial matters, like cleaning the car, he can spend focusing on what he does best — building wealth for his clients.
And because this Porsche gets cleaned so often, it never even has a chance to get too dirty. The only area that required special attention was the front end, which was literally plastered with the solidified remains of tens upon tens of bugs, all “collected” during a trip to the Okanagan.
Pro Tip: The one thing about bugs that most people don’t know is that their insides are highly acidic. And when they’re left sitting on the paint of a car for long periods of time, they literally stain and etch the paint, creating unsightly marks.
That is why, after trips like these, even a quick drive-through car wash, just to spray off the bugs, can save you plenty of headache later on.
Clean My Car to the rescue…
The exterior looked in good shape, with the exception of the front end (and the wheels).
Quite typical for European cars, the wheels had a ton of brake dust, which made the rims look almost black instead of silver.
The interior was (almost) impeccable, as the owner rarely enjoys anything else but a coffee while driving…

Just like anything else in life, with cars you get what you pay for. In this case, you pay more for a Porsche than you’d pay for most cars, but you get much better, and more durable finishings.
Just as a bonus, to reward my client for his consistent business, we did an Ozone Shock Treatment, and refreshed the interior.
The Ozone Shock Treatment also helps with sanitizing the interior of a car, as Ozone is capable (in certain concentrations) of killing microorganisms, such as mold, germs, and bacteria. Ozone can also dramatically reduce, or even completely eliminate, pungent odours from tobacco, spoiled food, dogs, or even vomit.

If your car has such “impossible” carpet, it may not come completely clean and debris-free, no matter how much effort the car cleaner is putting into it.
This wasn’t the case here, as Porsche typically use higher quality materials than most other car makers.
A few hours of solid and meticulous cleaning, and my client’s Porsche Panamera is now cleaner than before…
The interior is now spotless — dust and smudges gone. It also smells fresh.
The exterior is nice and shiny, and it looks (almost) like a brand new car.
When a car is cleaned regularly, it maintains its looks, and is as pleasurable to drive as on day-one.
But when neglected, and not cleaned for a long time (whatever the reason), a car reaches a “point of no return” when, no matter how intensive, cleaning alone is not sufficient anymore to bring the car back to its former beauty.
Key takeaway: Cleaning your car often saves you a lot of trouble and money.
My client was super happy with the results. This is what she had to say about it, on Google reviews:
Very convenient, very professional service. Picked up the keys from my doorman and brought it back sparkling clean. I'm a fan.
