    Hey all-

    Haven't had time to document my work recently, will document more once April and May roll around before I relocate.

    Up here is a Carrera with significant defects- marring, heavy swirling and the drivers door which was burned and unfinished from a body shop- you'll see the pics.

    Correctional was performed over two days and took around 15 hours to complete.

    Equipment used:
    - FLEX DA
    - RUPES 21
    - PC 7424
    - various pads- yellow/ green foam and Surbuf R
    - M105, Menz SIP, Sonax PF

    LSP applied- two coats of Menzerna PL


    Interior was given a Full Basic treatment- interior carpet and mats exracted, leather conditioned with Leatherique overnight and all the hard plastic cleaned and degreased.
    Quick shot of the rear seats out and getting leatheriqued

    @ the door panel - How the heck do you manage to screw something up that bad and not notice it? Guy should be banned from a buffer for life.
