My friend sold his 2007 Porsche GT3 RS (http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/show-shine/34332-2007-porsche-gt3-rs.html) and picked up this 2011 Cayenne S. Fully loaded with the Turbo wheels, the thing is quite a looker. Apart from the paint. The vehicle was traded in completely dirty so my friend had no idea was was lurking underneath the pollen, dust and other filth. Let the pictures speak for themselves. Bit of a chilly morning, had to use warm water! Not sure where all that mud came from on the inside of the wheels. You can see the condition of the paint through the dirt. After I washed it, under the lights it went. Most panels would require two hits of PO203S on a green pad. This was after my first pass. And this after the second pass. Making my way around the car. Chicken pox? That scratch? From the local "hand wash" place. Great. Did not come out. After rinsing her off and applying a nice layer of Menzerna Power Lock. Still love it on black more than anything else. Outside for less than 5 minutes and you can already see the pollen on it. You can still see some minor swirls in the full sun. And put up for the night until collection. It's amazing how much more room I have in my garage with this in there versus my 3/4 ton Dodge.
Same here bud ... I stil have some of the old stuff. The new stuff is weak, but it looks a tad bit better. Had a chance to use FG400 ... amazing finish for a compound.
Thanks, it's actually very cheap to build and maintenance is almost zero, apart from having to spray for weeds every now and then.
any particular reason why you, and your friend did not both decide upon using a semi permanent coating?
Very nice P1et! I agree, the new Power Finish is weak. I have switched to FG400 for all my one steps now. Cuts way better than even the old PF and finishes down as nice.
very nice, cleaned up nicely. Sucks about pollen, glad I dont have that around my house up here. then again we have that annoying white stuff that stays around in the winter.
