THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Hello! Here I present a Red CarreraS. The customer was headed to a show, not to enter, just to observe. I didn't care, whether he was entering or not, if he was going, I was making that paint show quality. Here are some befores of the job. The was a complete detail, and I accomplished it in about 8 hours. Trunk needed some tidying up. Wheels weren't horrible but I was game for some new juice! Finally a Porsche I could touch the motor on! Widemouth Bass exhaust tips needed my attention. This is what the car looked like all over. I was going to have fun with this one! Needed washed before I could work my magic. Lots of areas of opppurtunity. I thought immediately how well Adam's In and Out Spray would make that look better inside those louvres. (sp?)

THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Couple of action shots, for a change I had time for... I figured, having had a couple of Porsches in the Studio prior, that one pass of each of the new polishes would bring this Red back to Beauty. I did move the tape from side to side of the line of the clear bra, getting as close as I could so that everything looked uniform. Polishing Tan Lines aren't something I am a fan of. Deck Lid came back well. Exhaust Tips were easy because our Metal Polish is the real deal. Interior came out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
