Hi all! So here's a little gem I did and her name is Nikki. She's been through 3 Gumball 3000's and some other similar events and well, you can see that she's been rode hard and put away scratchy. The owner is emotionally attached to her and can't bare to let her go so he had her repainted in Scotland, but they didn't do a very nice job. I think the second coat of clear that they put on it wasn't the best because it's had to see where you've already painted once the first coat of clear is on. If not painted evenly, which is the case here, the clear will be full of orange peel. Instead of wet sanding, I broke out my old Auto Magic "Destroyer" XP Compound (a non-diminishing compound that is about the same as 800 grit) and went to town on the OP. Here's the befores of Nikki >> Don't know exactly what these were, but they had to be compounded out... After compounding with XP and a wool pad... OP gone! This was the door and I hadn't even touched it at this point!! I don't know what the hell they washed it with, but that's just insane!!!! This was all cleared up with Wolf's Wp-6H compound and a wool pad, followed by Wolf's WP-2N and a finessing pad. After compounding and before the 2nd wash. Nikki got 2 Braxilian waxes with Swissvax Concorso. Enjoy the afters!! I did this car at the Porsche headquarters in Hungary and after popped in to view the porn. This beautiful GT3 RS that was on the showroom had some swirls and scratches in it, and being that the general manager is a former English student of mine (and because they let me use their facilities for 2 days at no charge), I offered my cervixes to polish out the uglies at no charge. There were still some uglies on the car when I finished and I had to control myself when I started inspecting the rest of the car, because it was full of swirls but I offered to do the "worst" of the bunch and that's all that time permitted. Thanks for reading and to all the Playboy subscribers, thanks for "reading"! - Jesse O'Connor
That car was hammered! Awesome turnaround! Out of curiosity how many hours did you spend on this car?
Thanks Marco! The vacation as a whole was a big POS (will explain later), but pics coming soon! Thanks! I think I spent about 20 hours on it total, but about 4 of those were at the owner's house in the countryside afterwards. I had to go out and do some final touches like painting the lug nuts, etc. Next time I go out I'll bring the Callaways for 9 holes next to his house like the owner has promised me .
Beautiful Job! There is NOTHING like a black car (except of course for that grey and orange one) after a quality correction and swissWAX! Thanks for sharing. Outstanding Job. Joe D
holly mother of jesus batman. Wow the paint on that boxer was horrible. You could barely even make out the flash in the paint it was so full of orange peal. The ending results were stunning to say the least and the pics of that GT3 were just incredible. What a nice color scheme.
Hahahaha, this made my day. Beautiful work Jesse, the fact that the Boxster S has been through 3 Gumballs is a true testament to the amount of abuse those things can take.
Thanks! I just did a quickie on the GT3 while it was in the showroom... though I should have offered to take it to my garage and do a full detail on it Thanks Christian! Yeah Nikki has been through quite a bit! PM coming your way, sir!
