    Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed working on this beauty. I will not go into what this car is, you guys know. I will go into the fact that the owner is a Porsche mechanic and he bought this car from one of his customers.
    Anyway, the PCA Carolinas Region meeting was this past Saturday evening, Feb 7, 2015. The owner asked if we could have the car ready to display at the meeting.
    I said sure! I wanted to get it ready so I could display my company to potential clients. We agreed to have it ready either Friday or Saturday depending on when the owner could pick it up. I was shooting for Friday to give any additional time on Saturday for final prep. Another aspect was that when we got it in, the wheels came off. The owner had a new set he was putting on, so this would allow us easy access to the inner arches and calipers.

    Items used:

    Megs 105/205 combo
    Megs cutting Disc
    Rupes Yellow and White pads
    Rupes 15 polisher
    Swissvax Concorso Wax
    3M Trizact 3000, 5000 and some spots with 1500 by hand

    So here is what we started with:
    Paint was in bad shape. The previous owner apparently took a brillo pad to the paint.

    Wetsanding of the full front clip as well as the roof, and spot sanding of trouble areas on the remainder of the car
