Alarms, immobilisers, trackers and — for those of us of a certain vintage — steering wheel locks. When it comes to protecting your car, it's often the vast array of technological and mechanical automotive security products which spring to mind. While these are extremely effective ways to negate all but the most determined tea leaf from making away with your motor without consent, there are other ways you can protect your most prized possession, defending it from the threats it encounters each and every day. We're not talking about roving gangs of weapon wielding thugs, but the detrimental impact the environment -and even the most basic of usage — can have on your Porsche.
While the car's outer body panels may well be protected by its perfectly applied paint, the layers of pigment and lacquer are under constant attack bycar's surfaces, not just ruining their appearance, but reducing longevity, which can have a substantial negative impact on the vehicle's appeal and therefore future re-sale value. Luckily, help is at hand — specialist detailing and paint protection companies can fortify your car's precious paintwork and ensure it stays as perfect as possible, whatever gets thrown at it.
