Sizzle Chest Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) 2014 Porsche GT3 White 3,200 miles It’s been a Porsche past couple months here at Autodermatology! I will keep the P-cars coming! I had a client bring me his new to him 2014 Porsche GT3 in white. The car has low miles. Approximately 3,200 miles are on the vehicle. It came in for a paint correction and ceramic coating. The front end is covered in PPF. It was in overall OK condition. The typical marring, swirls and light scratches. It has been tracked before so some scuffs/etc were evident as well. Tools/equipment/chemicals/etc: Flex 3401, Rupes iBrid. PTG Defelsko Lighting by Scangrip. Lift by Ranger QickJack. Clayed . Washed . Misc mf towels. HD/3D CUT and POLISH glass cleaner. Adam’s Trim coating. Adam’s Paint coating. Adam’s Ceramic Boost. tire dressing. (this was baked on for greater longevity). Interior was wiped down Leather conditioned. Adam’s wheel cleaner. tire cleaner. wheels/calipers. Process: I used a super-secret beta test rinseless/waterless/claylube/paintprep formula for the rinseless washing duties. The vehicle was then clayed . Wheels were cleaned as were calipers and tires. Paint readings were taken and showed plenty to work with. That’s always a nice thing to find! Test spot revealed that the paint was medium-medium-hard. It liked CUT and a medium pad. Finished down nicely without much marring and no haze. NO dust. Nice! Final polishing was with POLISH. Came out like a white diamond! The defects were very difficult to capture for me on this paint…you will have to trust me that they were there! LOL I am a self-admitted coating geek…I just love them. I wanted to try Adam’s new offerings. Paint was prepped prior to coating. The trim was also prepped. Coated. Cured. Boost was applied 24 hours later—it really slicked up the surface. The Adam’s Ceramic Paint Coating is a little grabby on its own. Great shine, reflectivity. It is easy to apply and remove. Flashes quickly in my temp/humidity. Tires dressed. Glass cleaned. Interior tackled. DONE!!! Thanks for reading my write-up and looking at my many, many pictures!

Thorsager Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Another great write-up! I am thinking about getting a paint thickness gauge. How often do you use it? Is PosiTector a good gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle Chest Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the comments everyone! They are much appreciated! Thorsager: I use it on every vehicle that comes in. It's a great tool to have as it will give you an indicator of 'how much' paint/clear you have to work with as well as any indicators of previous paint/body work. I think it's a must have. Yes, Defelsko Positector is one of the leading manufactures of thickness gauges. They are not inexpensive, but I wanted one that will measure both ferrous, non-ferrous, plastic and carbon fiber substrates. Hope this helps you!
