    Client called and said he had traded off his F430 and had replaced it with this 08 Turbo Cab. I kinda like P cars so was excited to see it. He's had a few Porsches including a 993, 997 Turbo Cab C4s and two Cayennes including a turbo S. This car only had 6000 miles so I was expecting it to be in great shape. I wasn't disappointed.

    All trim, engine , jambs etc cleaned with Exclusive APC at 3:1
    Washed with Exclusive Soap
    Clayed with Exclusive Fine Clay and Clay Lube
    LSP was DG Nano Polish followed with DG Nano Clear Sealant
    Wheels sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant
    Tires dressed with Carpro Perl
    Interior cleaned with Autoglym Interior Shampoo
    Interior dressed with Ultima Interior Guard Plus
    Glass cleaned with Exclusive Glass Cleaner

    Total Time - 10 hours

    Upon arrival, the car was a bit dirty as the owner had been enjoying it for a few weeks.

    Interior was dirty as previous owner had obviously had the top down often. Note the crud build up in seat welts. Autoglym Interior Shampoo cleaned everything with ease.

    Paint was in very good condition as evidenced by the lack of dirt after claying.

    Greasy kids stuff was used on tires. This was left after using APC straight!
    [​IMG]

    Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover was needed to remove the rest. Ready for dressing.

    The DG Nano looks like it adds a lot to the look of the car based on the 2 cars you have shown us.

    Ken, do you use the Blackfire All Metal Sealant on coated wheels because of its high temperature resilience? I have never used it before and assumed it was a metal polish also so not suitable for coated wheels.

    I use it on pretty much any wheels. Its resilience to high heat makes it the best candidate for a wheel sealant. Plus it plain looks awesome!

    Nikon D60 with Nikkor 16-85 lens. I use the 16-85 as it allows me to get great shots inside my shop even though the bay is only 15' wide.
