    Porsche 911 TECHART Turbo - Cobalt Blue

    Hi Guys, thanks for reading another write up of mine. This time it's quite a rare 997 turbo.

    This car was booked in for:
    - Full Correction Detail
    - Full wheel refurbishment
    - Leather Detail
    - CQuartz Finest Protection

    Here is the car on arrival.

    Bit of a better idea of how the paint was. It's an absolutely stunning colour, but very dull and lifeless due to the swirls on the clear coat.

    So, in at the deep end! Lets get correcting!

    Moving onto an area of the bonnet that was really bad. There is a very deep mark, which looks as if someone else has tried (and failed to remove it). All they achieved is swirling the paint further

    See below

    [​IMG]

    This was after

    [​IMG]

    You can see there is a tiny bit of the original deep mark left. This could have been removed but I decided I had removed enough lacquer. I had a hard job just to get that shot above of the mark. So I was happy with that! It's not all about removing heaps of clear coat willy-nilly! It's got to be done in a safe manner with the future in mind also.

    There was a spot on the driver's door, which had been painted so treading carefully here

    The owner wanted to get rid of the orange halogen bulbs as sidelights so these were replaced with LED CREE bulbs with inbuilt resistors so no dash errors are thrown up!

    Onto the arches!

    Once all the correction work was done, it was very dusty so the car was taken outside for a thorough rinse down

    [​IMG]

    Now the car by now had had a 3-stage correction but there was still a final polishing stage to complete. I wanted the car to be as glossy as possible, and its well worth the time doing multiple finishing polishes.

    [​IMG]

    Once this was complete it was time to strip the paint of any oils using CarPro eraser

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Now time for the coating!

    As well as all the steps outlined, the leather was cleaned and sealed. There were other stages that weren't photographed due to time constraints too.
