  • 1999 Porsche Carrera

    Yet another car for a repeated customer...








    seems verry clean...BUT
    just take a look at the swirls on the paint finish, owning a black car is a nightmare when the swirls show up...







    I blocked off a section of the original finish and buffed out an adjacent area





    Hmmm, not bad






    Now, onto the bling....
    These 19" Lexani Roma IIs are already clean, but they're not 100%, just look at the finish on the lip, it needs that mirror finish






    Cleaned, but needs more..



    THERE....




    Little engine space to work with, but I can clean it...





    One side is done with the polish...



    Getting to the other side...



    There's my Mustang again


    This car was done by PC with 2 passes of #80
    and #21

    Insane shine on the tires
    Multi-Piece on the wheels

    Engine was mildly cleaned with GC and a versa-angle body brush then dressed with Hyper dressing 1:1

          You would use the 8006 polishing pad for that.

          BTW GTBrad, great job on the car.

                Beautiful work on a beautiful car (have to agree with matt_c on the choice of wheels though, but hey, it ain't my car!). I must ask though - if this is a repeat customer what the heck happened to the poor car since the last time you detailed it?

                        GTBrad,

                        Nice job on the Porsche. I just purchased the same exact car minus the fancy wheels. My car also has swirls marks throughout, and I tried using Scratch-X by hand, but I definitely didn't get the results that you did with the PC. I had read somewhere that european cars had a harder clearcoat that made it more difficult to get out the swirls.

                        As I am in the process of purchasing a PC, I will follow your lead and hope to get the same results. If not I might be contacting you for your services as I am in the Los Angeles area.

                          Thank you, the G100/PC will do wonders for your paint surface with the correct technique
