2006 Porsche 911 4S

[Bill-V8V]

I have a friend of a friend coming over Saturday, looks like someone was jealous of his car so decided to take a key to it ? :help:

 

It's that nice Dark Olive Green Metallic, a nice little 3K option. He just picked it up in Florida so it was a nice clean car. I'm going to see how far I can take it as he said you can just barely feel it. We'll see :xfingers:

Anybody that does that to a car isn't a person, but a monster

 

 

 

Good luck Bill :xfingers:

[Marylander]

I hope there's a special place in H#ll for people that do things like that.

[Bill-V8V]

I'm sure there is :thumbsup:

[bigred vette]

That looks bad, good luck getting it out...

Is it going to gum up on me ?

More than likely. And your pad will stick to the finish better than it sticks to the backing plate

:lol::lol: sorry to laugh Bill, I'm just remembering the first time I ran into one of these.

It should go well, this picture is of my sister in laws CR-V, and it’s never been detailed......ever.

 

 

Wash, clay, SHR, and I got it to this point

 

 

So by looking at what I had to deal with, you should have no problem, but then again it was Honda paint, it corrected nicely.

In my experience, it holds on to dirt like a magnet. Make sure you claybar the crap out of it.

[Bill-V8V]

I'll be sure to take some before and after pictures :thumbsup:

[Superdutytd]

Okay so I'll bite as I might have some Porsche's that want to be detailed. What are you guys talking about when you talk about gumming up?

Little bits of dried up polish that get flung everywhere. It's doesn't happen as much with a dual action or Porter Cable as long as you keep the speeds low. I've only used two polishes that didn't gum up on me - one is about $100 a bottle after import costs and the other was a 3M finishing polish.

Prior to using Adam's, I used to polish my previous Audi with other polishes and I would get spots of what felt like rubber goo, but this goo never damaged the paint.

When I first used Adam's I would get dried up polish flung everywhere, I’ve learned to prime the pad, add a sprits of DS, use less product and as a result you will get less dried up polish over your finish..

Audi and Porsche clears are one off the hardest coats out there.. Good luck and have fun!<o:p></o:p>

Thanks I has these horrid thoughts of like the clearcoat gumming up or something scary like that

 

Can't wait to see what you can do Bill!

[Bill-V8V]

Ok, so the 4S shows up right on time and then I get the real story of the scratch. He tried to wipe dried bird crap off with a paper towel :help:

 

So by the time I was done lecturing him on proper car care, the long version , I forgot to take before pictures :mad:

 

So I washed it cause it was filthy and I'd never send anyone away with one clean door and wanted to teach him some proper wash techniques !!!!

 

This thing was full of swirls but unless he wanted to leave it for a week I wasn't going to attempt to do the whole thing, lots of curves on that body

 

By the time I did all the prep and removed 95% of the scratch clouds started moving in so I decided to throw a coat of Americana on it and call it a day. We needed time to do some driving !!!!!

I don't know how Audi paint/clear compares to Porsche, but I've never had any problems at all with Adam's stuff on the Audi. In fact, the clear is hard and takes a good bit of work, but the results are really good -- my Audi "responds" to a thorough Adam's process much better than my Vette.

The last couple of pic's are awesome!

[Bill-V8V]

Thanks Ron !!!

 

This thing really needs a compete paint correction but APW made it look good anyways :thumbsup:

[bigred vette]

Looks good Bill, I would recommend some BSG on your dome.
