Exceeding all expectations, the second-generation Cayenne arrived in 2011 and benefited from several modifications including LED daytime running lights, tailgate tail lights and a more exaggerated slanting roof-line for improved aerodynamics. Added to this, the facelift version is almost 250 kg lighter than the first generation, due to extensive use of aluminium and magnesium, and the combined result increases fuel efficiency &#8211; in case any owner was particularly concerned about such things! The interior too was redesigned, borrowing heavily from the newly released 4-door Panamera, another departure from the Porsche norm.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to action, the Cayenne is a remarkably assured, sporty SUV, with the 3.0 V6 diesel engine producing 258 bhp and 580 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm. An eight-speed automatic gearbox pulls easily through the range, whilst ESP sensors send stop signals to individual wheels seeking traction, helping keep all wheels on the road during inclement weather conditions. Although sitting lower than the first generation, the Cayenne still provides excellent wading height making this a usable 4&#215;4 as well as a comfortable indulgence.<\/p>\n<p>The owner of this 2016 Cayenne had acquired it some four months previously. As a Porsche fan whose career involves a great deal of travelling on the continent, the Cayenne seemed the obvious choice for all those motorway miles. Particular about the appearance of his vehicle, when strong sunlight showed the paintwork to be covered in swirls and scratches with a distinctly hazy appearance, he arranged to bring the car to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UF Studio<\/a> for a number of restorative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">detailing services<\/a> including intensive machine polishing. Keen to ensure every surface of the vehicle was protected, he also opted for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/uf\/alloy-wheel-protection-treatment.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alloy Wheel Armour<\/a>, glass treatment, and for the fabric and leather to be deep cleaned and sealed.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #ff4b33;\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment at the award-winning UF Studio, Brands Hatch, Kent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/car-care-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/PCayenne_10.18_3.JPG\" alt=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Cayenne was first in need of thorough cleaning and decontamination.

However, the colour change function isn&#8217;t\u00a0always easy to see on darker paint. To combat this Ultimate Snow Foam was applied over the top, so the purple streaks show through the white foam. &#8211; Matt Back, Master Detailer, UF Studio<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/snow-foam\/ultimate-snow-foam-5-litres.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ultimate Snow Foam<\/a> was applied through a Kranzle-adapted foam lance attached to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/kranzle\/k-1152-tst-pressure-washer.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">K-1152 TST<\/a> pressure washer. The thick, creamy lather lifts dirt and grit away from the surface of the paintwork so they won&#8217;t be caught in the wash mitt and potentially scratch the surface during the main wash. After rinsing the foam away, the Cayenne was carefully washed using two buckets, one for wash solution, one with plain rinsing water, both with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/Store\/Search.aspx?SearchTerm=grit+guard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grit Guards<\/a>. The wash mitt is loaded with soap and a section of the car cleaned. The mitt is rinsed in the rinsing bucket, transferring the dirt and particles to that bucket. After wringing out the mitt, it can be dunked again into the wash solution. This keeps the dirty rinse water separate from the clean soapy wash water and therefore helps keep the paintwork swirl-free.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>A common cause of swirls and scratches in paintwork is dirt on the panels being rubbed on the surface with a wash mitt. Keeping wash and rinse water separate helps prevent this. The Grit Guards are there so the mitt can be rubbed against them, releasing dirt from the mitt&#8217;s pile and helping to keep the particles at the bottom of the bucket. &#8211; Matt Back, Master Detailer, UF Studio<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Cayenne was rinsed free of suds before an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/aqua-gleam\/0ppm-de-ionising-water-filter-12.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aqua Gleam<\/a> De-ionising Water Filter was used to deliver a final, pure water rinse. It was brought into the studio where it was dried using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/bigboi.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BigBoi<\/a> BlowR Pro touchless car dryer. This drying system is powered by two powerful motors that use warm, filtered air to chase water off panels and from areas that would naturally trap droplets, such as trim and around badges. The Cayenne was carefully placed on a hydraulic ramp and raised before the wheels were removed for further decontamination and cleaning, prior to being protected.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>When the alloy spokes are closely spaced, removing the wheels is the most efficient way to ensure the rear of the rims has been comprehensively cleaned. It also allows us to thoroughly coat the wheels and the brake calipers to help protect them.

Gtechniq <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/gtechniq\/panel-wipe.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Panel Wipe<\/a> was sprayed onto the panels and then buffed off, ensuring all polish and clear coat residues were removed, preparing the panels for the protective ceramic coating.<\/p>\n<p>The owner had both heard about and seen in action, the results of a car coated with Gtechniq&#8217;s flagship ceramic sealant, Crystal Serum Ultra (CS Ultra), and so selected this for his vehicle. Like the original Crystal Serum, CS Ultra is applied as a one-step process but as it cures, it forms into two layers: the lower layer cures to around 7H (on the pencil scale of hardness) to provide a tough but flexible layer. The upper section cures to 10H to provide a swirl resistant surface. Where CS Ultra offers improvement over the original is with the introduction of a revolutionary new 7nm nanoparticle alongside an existing 20nm nanoparticle. As the coating cures, the smaller particles settle into the gaps between the larger particles so the 7H layer and 10H layer blend. This increases the ratio of crosslinked particles which has the effect of reinforcing and thickening the upper layer of the coating for increased durability and swirl-resistance. CS Ultra is also resistant to extremes of pH, protecting the paintwork from acid rain etching, bird droppings, road salts and astringent wash chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>For added slickness, improving the hydrophobicity and therefore aiding the self-cleaning properties of the coating, Gtechniq <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/gtechniq\/exo-v4-ultra-durable-hydrophobic-coating.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EXO v4<\/a> Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating was applied over CS Ultra. Rainwater and waterborne contamination, road grime, and other environmental and industrial fallout are repelled from the treated surface, keeping it cleaner for longer and making the car easier to wash. The gloss and reflectivity this combination of coatings provides are also impressive!<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #ff4b33;\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment at the award-winning UF Studio, Brands Hatch, Kent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/car-care-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/PCayenne_10.18_16.JPG\" alt=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As with all ceramic coatings, CS Ultra is sensitive to ambient conditions, so humidity and temperature must be carefully controlled throughout the application and curing process. As it cures to 10H, the coating requires intensive machine polishing to remove, so care must be taken that the car has been suitably prepared first and the coating is laid down correctly to ensure optimum results and clarity. For these reasons, CS Ultra is available as a service only through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gtechniq-approved detailers<\/a>. Once installed, CS Ultra carries a manufacturer&#8217;s performance guarantee of 9 years.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #ff4b33;\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/detailing.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment at the award-winning UF Studio, Brands Hatch, Kent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theultimatefinish.co.uk\/car-care-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/PCayenne_10.18_18.JPG\" alt=\"2016 Porsche Cayenne - Gloss Enhancement Treatment\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The wheels and calipers were once more degreased and treated for brake dust particles, a detailing brush used to get into the corners and crevices.

In addition, L1 provides protection from the drying and fading effects of UV, helping preserve the leather pigment richness &#8211; particularly important for dark and, in this case, red leathers. In addition to the leather protection, the carpets were also first vacuumed and then cleaned with a Tornador which &#8216;swirls&#8217; water and fabric cleaner to draw dirt out from the fibres.
