  • Porsche Boxter extensive correction detail

    A long time client of mine referred me to his friend who was looking to get his wife's Boxter looking good again. This was not to be a full correction, but we got it safely above the 90% mark. Drew (AWDTBSS) was out again to help me on this one.

    Upon arrival













    Some of the defects....









    The main 'offending issue' that brought me out here. Someone had made a mistake here and it won't happen again............
    More pics of this later.












    Wheels were not too bad, but needed a good cleaning and tires stripped of the grease applied elsewhere..
















    Returning to the main issue.....now under the halogens and after old wax has been stripped, revealing the true extent of the damage...










    This would take some careful work, so precautions were taken with measuring the paint to ensure enough material was present to safely remove these scratches. Thankfully there was plenty of material.











    "The 50/50"



















    After mulitple compounding passes with M101 and D300 with Surbuf and Megs MF cutting, this was left behind








    Onto the passenger's door









    Before






    After







    Time to work out the issues on the lights











    Raising the spoiler to get all the nooks and crannies. No cutting corners here.





    Waterspots







    Corrected and plastic dressed










    Correction finished and a couple LED pics. LSP was Meguiars D301

















    I returned the next day (day 3) for a couple additional coats on the convertible top, cleaning the glass, and the sun pictures.














    Glass was done after pics















    Wheels looking sharp again

















    Final and favorite picture






    Thanks for checking it out!

            Wow great job!

            Curious what the paint thickness measured before and after the correction.

              Great job.

              How come you were worried about paint thickness if only working with a DA?
              Are porches known to have thin paint?

              Just curious.

                      M101 via MF pad is still an aggressive process. Plus, those horrendous scratches on the hood look pretty deep. The PTG was a wise idea IMO.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                          This looks terrific! The paint on this car almost seems to have a purple hue in some of these photos. Great job.
