Workshop Notes
Build Story
The IM5 is an environmentally friendly electric vehicle with high battery efficiency. The owner, who drives long distances daily, wanted the best paint protection. They ultimately chose GSWF DEFENDER HYDRO PPF for paint protection. A long-range vehicle certainly needs the strongest protection to drive confidently on the road.
