    Here we have a Porsche Carrera.....new customer and he said that the car hadn't been detailed in 10 years. I don't know if he was exaggerating or not but the car wasn't too bad if that was true. The car doesn't get driven in bad weather and is garaged so all it really sees is the sun and clean roads.

    After discussing the options and looking at the car together, it was decided to do a full interior detail, a single stage polishing, sealant, and engine detail.

    Process
    Interior -
    Compress out carpets, dash, vents, seat seems, etc.
    Vacuum
    Carpets - steamer
    Dash - OPC dilution
    Leather - OPC dilution
    Glass - Meguiars Glass cleaner concentrate

    Exterior -
    Wheels - Sonax FE
    Tires/wheel wells - OPC dilution
    Door jams - OPC and steamer, sealed with Reload
    Engine - OPC Swissvax brush and steamer
    Wash - ONR
    Clay - Meguiars Pro detailing clay - mild
    Polish - M205/GG DA/Green Uber
    IPA
    LSP - Powerlock
    Various plastics - Adam's In and Out and 303 Aerospace Protectant
    Wheels - Reload
    Tires- Opti-bond
    Exterior glass/mirrors - Aquawax

    I think that's it, ask if you have any questions as I may have missed something!

    Sorry just before and afters, no process pics.

    Don't mind that mark on the passenger airbag, I just wiped it down before the picture and it hadn't dried completely

    Door jams not too bad but you can see the rubbers are dirty and dried out a bit

    Apologize for the lack of sun/outside pictures, it was drizzling on and off when I was finishing up. This wasn't a full correction anyway so no big deal. Paint definitely brightened up by the single step though!

    Thanks for looking!

    awesome work!

    lol...while reading this one and looking at the pics, it reminds me of the car i'm working on right now...it seems that we took "before" pics of the exact same areas, scary.

    great minds think alike...=p

    Nicely cleaned up. Looks like it needed more interior help than exterior
