Porsche 911 Targa PPF in Watertown, CT: 2015 Targa 4S + 3-Year Coating
A Porsche 911 Targa 4S is one of the most recognizable shapes on the road, and its long, low nose is also the first thing to meet every stone and bug on the highway. For the owner of a 2015 911 Targa 4S, we built a package that pairs full frontal Porsche 911 Targa PPF in Watertown, CT with our 3-year ceramic coating and a complimentary 5-year rim coating. The film stops chips where they happen most, and the coating keeps the entire car glossy and easy to clean. Here's what each piece covers, what the package cost, and what to expect if you're thinking about protecting your own 911.
The Job: Porsche 911 Targa PPF and Ceramic Coating in Watertown, CT
This package combined three services, each aimed at a different kind of wear.
Full Frontal PPF. Paint protection film went on the panels that take direct hits while driving:
- Front bumper
- Headlamps
- Fog lamps
- Front fenders
- Mirrors
- Full hood
On a 911, the hood and fenders flow together into one continuous curve, so full hood coverage matters. Partial coverage can leave a visible edge right in the middle of the car's most photographed angle. Full coverage keeps the front end protected and the lines clean.
3-Year Ceramic Coating Package. This package starts with a full exterior detail and paint decontamination to strip away bonded contaminants. Next comes a 1-step polish to boost clarity and remove minor imperfections. Then we apply our 3-year ceramic coating, which forms a durable, hydrophobic layer that helps defend against UV rays, oxidation, road grime, and environmental fallout.
5-Year Rim Ceramic Coating. We coated the faces of the wheels with a high-temperature ceramic that repels brake dust and road grime. This face-only application protects the part of the wheel you actually see without coating the entire barrel. It was included at no charge with this package.
Pricing: The full frontal PPF was $1,982, the 3-year ceramic coating package was $800, and the rim coating was complimentary. The subtotal came to $2,782 before Connecticut's 6.35% sales tax, for a total of $2,958.66.
Why PPF and Ceramic Coating Work Well Together
Film and coating solve different problems. PPF is a physical layer that absorbs impacts, so it's the right tool against rock chips on the nose of the car. A ceramic coating doesn't stop chips, but it makes paint, and the film itself, slicker, glossier, and much easier to wash. Pairing them gives the front end impact protection and gives the whole car easy-care gloss. You can see all of our coverage levels on our paint protection film page.
Timeline: On this job, the PPF install and the ceramic coating package were each estimated at about 48 hours, with the rim coating taking about an hour and a half. We'll give you a time estimate for your own vehicle when you book.
Maintenance: Gentle hand washing is best for both film and coating. Skip harsh brushes and automatic washes, and you'll find that water and dirt slide off far more easily than on unprotected paint.
Cost factors: Price depends on vehicle size, how much of the car you cover with film, the film finish (clear, matte, or colored), and which coating package you choose. Every quote we write is specific to your vehicle.
