Interior - Before

















Clean up years of dirt, grime, and dead skin off the steering wheel









A nice improvement





Interior afters







Exterior before shots



















































The Fenix TK35 was extremely helpful detecting paint imperfections





Prep - Clear film removal/Wheels/Tires/Decon/Autoscrub/Wash



Clear film was on the car since 2001 - it needed to be removed, it's job was done. (we used 7 cans of 3m adhesive remover on this job!)

















Sonax Full Effect used to clean up the wheels







All Purpose used on the tires





Some agitation with a brush and we are pulling some dirt/grime/brake dust off the tires





Wheel wells getting hit with APC





Rinse







Wolf's Decon Gel





After we rinsed down the Decon Gel we moved on to pre soak with snow foam









Car was washed traditionally - 2 bucket method and we move on to NanoSkin Autoscrub





After the wash here is what the car looked like it almost appears if the car was sand blasted with zero gloss!





if you look closely you will see some marring left by the NanoSkin Autoscrub - Porsche paint = soft









Correction process - before/afters and 50/50 shots









50/50 of the front bumper







Close up





50/50 door shot





more 50/50 shots





50/50 of the rear brakelight





close up





rear taillights polished out to zero imperfections





closer shot





the hood was in bad shape, this car is tracked









Taxi cab paint transfer





Improvement after FG400 and Rupes BigFoot





Rupes BigFoot action shot





Rinse and blow dry with the Metro Air Force Blaster 8 hp







After compound and polishing

A nice improvement over what we started wtih







Sonax Polymer NetShield used as a last step





Finishing touches

After - using Pre Wow followed by Black Wow

50/50 shot of the wipe blade - used Sonax Polymer NetShield





50/50 of the cowl - using Pre Wow followed by Black Wow

Engine cleaned up and dressed with Adam's In and Out - a go to for engine dressing.
