proper detail on a Porsche 996tt

Envious Eric · 11-20-2010, 06:27 PM

A couple weeks in the making for this one with scheduling conflicts and what not, I finally got to it. At first i thought it was going to be a crappy day, but then the sun came out and it made the difference in the after pictures obviously.

Upon arrival, a few things I noticed: hazy paint, TONS of swirl marks, a few paint blemishes that need repainting, burned trim, and holograms.

Process was the following:
Pre-rinse with hose, then ONR wash
Chemical guys sticky gel on wheels
Megs hyper on tires
Detailed Image light clay process
ONR mix for clay lube
Alcohol tipedown
meguiars masking tape on trim
Menzerna 203 via PC and white pad
optimum poliseal on black pad
Megs glass cleaner
vacuum and interior dusting

Befores:

Afters:

Overall, a HUGE improvement and MUCH clearer paint! No more oxidation hiding the true color of this jet black paint! 5.5 hours was spent on this car/process

Much improved finish and now a car really worth showing off. Imagine if he would have given more time for you to work on it...

Great work as usual Eric

yeah I was stoked on the outcome. At first I was just going to poliseal the whole car, but then after seeing the condition of it, I HAD to 203 it. It was an extra step for me, but worth it for a satisfied client! He did mention on another forum that he was stoked and will be using me in the future for his detailing needs...guess its a good move to go above and beyond for people!
