  • Porsche Speedster...

    Here’s a rush job, that I absolutely hated to do! #1, because I hate rush jobs, and #2 because this is such a beautiful car, and needs quality time for some luvin! I could have easily spent 15-20 hours on this car, and it still wouldn’t have been perfect. It had a lot of work that needed to be done, but no time. Customer called me at noon and said he would give me a bit extra if I could come that day, and get it knocked out. They were delivering the car the very next morning, and like a lot of my customers, waited until the very last second before calling me. I was actually laying around the house(scheduled a day off for myself), thinking about mowing the yard, so this sounded a whole lot better than yard work lol!

    Anyhow, here it is. Start to finish was 3 hours and 35 minutes! And yes I was literally hauling butt on this thing! Totally the WRONG way to do it, but it had to be done.

    Washed(extremely quickly!)
    Meguiar’s DA with D300 Compound on a 5” Microfiber pad.
    Topped off with Wolfgang Fuzion(by hand).
    Interior cleaned and dressed with the appropriate products.

          Geez Nick you're a pro!! How did you get that knocked out in 3.5 hours?! That's amazing!! It looks like you put in at least 12-15 hours of work into it! Great job!

            Trust me guys, this car is FAAAAAR from done! Far from even being in decent condition. Mediocre at best! It needs so much more work, it's not even funny. I just did a very fast polish on it, then wax. Then very quickly ran over the interior.

            Like I said originally, I could very easily put another 15-20 hours into this car. But I appreciate the compliments!!!

              Nick, it's as good as I could have done.

              But, really, it looks a hundred times better for a mere 1 step with a compound!

              How is Wolfgang Fusion? Do you find it brings something extra to the table? Since it is pretty expensive.....

                Fuzion is pretty expensive wax, that's a no brainer. I believe it's a very nice wax. Easy on/easy off. I can definitely see a difference between it and a less expensive wax. But it's all in the eye of the beholder. What makes me happy, won't necessarily make you happy. So before anyone buys such an expensive wax, I would suggest you buy the smaller sample version and see how you like it.

                    From the after shots it looks like you spent more than 12 hours on it.

                    Looks very good even for 3.5 hours.

                      even for what you are calling a mediocre job that car is 100% improved! it was very dull and lifeless before and now has a nice shine to it!

                            Very nice work there. I hope they fixed that clip from under the wiper mount that holds the glass trim.
