    Full paint correction and detail on this 89' Porsche 930 Turbo. Previous owner I was told "did not believe in waxing or polishing in order to preserve the finish". Well the new owner had a different opinion and wanted to see what could be done. Everything on this car mechanically was restored and it now makes 359whp. The only thing left on this mini restoration was proper detail and polishing work.

    Prep:
    Washed with Hyperwash and foamed with Adams
    De-con with Auto Finesse Iron out
    Clayed with Nanoskin + ONR lube
    Wheels cleaned with Sonax FE

    Couple 50/50 shots with NO extra light sources... just some garage fluorescent lights 25 ft. up. The finish appeared milky in some areas and matte white in others :thumb:

    And now with some proper lighting...

    Corrected using both DA and Rupes machines with M101, Sonax 5/5 and PO85rd

    Hood required multiple passes with M101 to clear up

    Roof 50/50 all naturale, left side untouched, right side corrected. Left side giving that "matte" look, never a good sign.

    After finishing with PO85rd the finish was wiped with Eraser to remove any polishing oils and prep the finish for LSP. Interior leather was treated with the Leather Masters kit. All carpets vacuumed and plastics treated with 303

    I once met a guy that said car shampoo was too harsh on paint and said he only used water and a sponge to prevent the detergent of soap from "drying out the paint"

    David,

    Stellar work on a classic. I love white turbo Porsches. When did you do this detail? Looks like snow on the ground.

    Yup I think that was the same mentality, polishing overtime corrodes paint and wax is the devil blah blah. I dunno I like the car better after all the vodoo polishing and waxing ;)

    That looks impeccable now, excellent job Dave. The more techy the newer Porsches and BMWs get, the more I strive for old-school metal. Less IS more, I guess.

    Kind regards,

    Ebbe
