I pick up my MSP grey/white int/19”/wheel Tuesday. Driving straight to the installer for matte PPF.
Here’s my question. I know I will get flamed for this. My wife has a 2024 Cayenne S E-hybrid coming in a few months and getting clear self healing PPF. She will be using an automatic car wash. I assume the swirls will self heal?
I know automatic car washes are the devil but this is an argument not worth having with her anymore.
Flame on for sure
Depends on the car wash. If it's touchless, then the bigger issue is water stain buildup unless it's one of those better touchless that recycle, filter and completely deionize the water (i.e. water softener).
If it's the kind with the spinning brushes, then yes full body self healing PPF will self heal but won't do so forever and it's self healing properties won't last as long with repeated abuses like that. Ironically, incorrect manual washing can be worse than spinning brushes on a carwash.
Neither of my Tesla's have ever been through an automatic carwash but my wife's Prius has
