1993 Porsche 968 - Red Single Stage

Fantastic work!!!!

 

great work. single stage paint....i hate working on it, but sometimes the results are just sooooo satisfying. like this car for example; totally horrible looking, but after you work on it it shines like a new penny!

 

Once again big thanks to everyone for their kind words.

Love the turnaround of older cars. Great work

woooow love the shine on this one ,,how can u tell its a single stage paint ..i hope u get some upgraded Porsche engine work to this right here ..this car is hott

 

Great turn around on that vehicle, working on single stage paint can be a bit of a challenge some times but it's so rewarding :thumb:

I just raid how you mention Tardis works some times? I haven't had any issues with it but I know that some times I need lots of Tardis to get the job done, meaning when I first apply it to the tar spot or glue or what ever I'm trying to remove the first application may not get it out so a second or third or fourth application is carried out until what ever I'm trying to remove is completely gone. I’m curious, at what applications or what are you trying to remove that you say it some times works and some times doesn’t?

Don't mean to hijack the thread I'm just curious that's all.

 

Well I worked on another Porsche, a 964 RS America, it had a whole lot of tar on the rear quarters and side skirts. On that car, I would dab the tar with a MF towel soaked in tardis, over and over again untile the tar would begin to emulsify. That only worked on about 50% of the tar. Spraying the tardis on and letting it dwell for a little while got a little more, but most if it did not come off.

On this car I tired both methods again and got a little better results, but still didn't get everything off, and had to result to many different methods to tackle each little spot.

I should note that some of these "tar" spots could have easily been dried on tire rubber marks, as both of these car were driven on a road course.

Tardis works ok I guess, but I don't see it standing out as a great performer when compared to Wurth clean solve or 3m adhesive remover. I wound up using those too products on alot of the spots the tardis couldn't get, with better success. Maybe it's just my technique or the kind of stuff I am trying to clean. I have tried tarminator as well, which alot of people like, and I hated that stuff. It barely did anything.

 

Well for the most part on stubborn tar spots which most vehicles come with it also takes me a few applications, depending how old the tar spot is it may take one application or several applications...but yes I some times use a full bottle of Tardis on some vehicles. Most of the time on rims it takes me several applications as well, I don't use the towel damp application method, it only works on those very minor tar spots. I don't know if it it's application error or technique to be honest I guess it comes down to the contamination your trying to remove, thanks for sharing though I was curious that's all eace:
