AUDI SQ8

Full-Body InoClear Gloss PPF

scope of work

FULL-BODY PAINT PROTECTION FILM

Every painted panel on the SQ8 was wrapped in Inozetek InoClear Gloss PPF — hood, fenders, doors, quarters, rockers, and rear hatch. No exposed factory paint left behind. The entire exterior is now armored against rock chips, road rash, and daily abuse.

INOZETEK INOCLEAR GLOSS FILM

We selected Inozetek InoClear for its optically clear, high-gloss finish and self-healing top coat. On this deep metallic blue, the film deepens the flake and adds wet-look clarity without altering the factory color. Light scratches and swirls vanish with heat.

WRAPPED EDGES & PANEL MAPPING

Panels were pattern-cut and hand-tucked at edges wherever possible for a seamless, near-invisible install. Door handles, mirror caps, and tight body lines were dressed carefully so the protection disappears into the design. The result reads like bare paint — just tougher.

FACTORY FINISH PRESERVATION

The customer's goal was simple: protect the paint. This install locks in the SQ8's showroom finish from day one, shielding the most vulnerable high-impact zones from UV, contaminants, and abrasion. It keeps resale value and appearance intact for the long haul.

Project Summary

The owner brought in a brand-new 2026 Audi SQ8 finished in a deep metallic blue and had one clear priority: protect the paint before it ever saw a highway. With a finish this rich in flake and depth, any chip or scratch would stand out — so the plan was full coverage from the start. We recommended a complete Inozetek InoClear Gloss PPF wrap to armor every painted surface while keeping the factory look untouched. This was about preserving a like-new SQ8 for years of daily driving without compromise.

The Build

We started with a thorough decontamination and prep of every panel to ensure a flawless bond. From there, the entire body was wrapped in Inozetek InoClear Gloss film — hood, fenders, doors, quarter panels, rockers, and rear hatch — with panels pattern-cut and hand-tucked at the edges for a clean, near-invisible finish. The InoClear's self-healing top coat means light swirls and marks lift out with heat, keeping the surface pristine. On the metallic blue, the gloss film amplifies the depth of the flake and delivers a wet, mirror-like clarity across every curve. Tight areas around the door handles, mirror caps, and body creases were dressed carefully so nothing telegraphs the film underneath. The result is a fully protected SQ8 that looks exactly like bare paint — only far tougher.
