Detailer's Domain: 96 911 Turbo this is a good one.

This is one of my favorite cars of all time, its just a classic car that still looks great today.
My customer just picked up this car and its perfect, however the paint was a bit different. He brought it to us to get it up to par with the rest of the car.

Take a look.

What was done -
Exterior

- Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels were protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
- Tires dressed with Swissvax Pneu
- Masking
- 2 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Menzerna Power Lock followed by Lusso Oro
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

vinyl/plastic surfaces.

Nice! Did you polish the vents over the engine? Looks like that would be a bitch.

Mmmmm.....993 TT, IMHO the absolute PINNACLE of 911 design. I could literally stare at this car for HOURS on end. Only thing I'd rather have would of course be the Turbo S variant.

AWESOME work too BTW!!!!

I honestly think this is the best detail you guys have ever done, it's amazing how clean you get those cars guys! You can see how professional you guys are just by the evenness of the passes with the rotary buffer, each rotation is exactly the same distance away as the last one. I am still working with a DA Cyclo and I still can't get even passes like that on round panels, and I've been doing it for a year haha.
