    We did this Porsche almost a year ago almost to the day for a client so he could ship it to Boston due to a job relocation. He recently had it shipped back and wanted it detailed again. No correction as the car was in immaculate condition still.

    Jambs, engine and body seams cleaned with RG Brushes and AG Powermax3
    Washed with RG Washmitt and DG901 carwash soap
    Wheels and tires cleaned with AG Custom Wheel Cleaner
    Clayed with AE Fine clay and Automagic BodyShine for lube
    LSP was Gloss it Gloss Finish
    Interior wiped down with AG Interior Shampoo
    Leather seats conditioned with Gloss it Leather Polish
    Glass cleaned with AG Fast Glass and AE Glass towels
    Wheels and calipers sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant
    Tires dressed with Swisswax Pneu

    Total time - 6 hours

    The car upon arrival

    Wheels needed a little TLC

    Jambs were still very clean from our last visit

    Interior was a little dirty, but not too bad.

    Engine was still quite clean and just needed a quick once over.

    Paint was nearly flawless. It was almost impossible to find any marring at all. Nice.

    Taillights had a few marks on them but as with everything else, in excellent condition.

    Paint had accumulated a little bit of contamination and was removed with AE Fine clay.

    Tires were treated to two coats of Swisswax Pneu

    Seats were wiped down and treated with Gloss it Leather Polish

    Damn ken that Porsche looks fantastic. Silver is such a great color when taken care of. Wheels look great as well as the interior and the exhaust tips are out of control.

    Where can i pick up some tardis and would you say it works similar to stoners tarminator?

    You folks have some great scenery

    I get mine from Carlos but I'm not sure if he has any left. Its about $50 gallon (delivered). It works way better than Tarminator.

    oh wow. I would imagine that it doesn't take much to get the job done either. So when he runs out you run out?

    Im going to have to search around. Is it safe to use on painted surfaces or just more so wheels?

    The wheel and caliper look very good with Blackfire All Metal Sealant...maybe I should get some
    how many gallon of tardis do you have? I tried to get a hold of Carlos after Phil took over this forum, but I guess he is very busy with family/work.

    It is safe on paint but as always, common sense must come into play. When he runs out, I run out because its damn near impossible to get it shipped overseas.

    I only have about half a gallon left.

    Looks great Ken. Did you pull the wheels to get at the calipers or just move the car a bit? BTW, your photography skills are getting great. Love this shot:

    Thanks Rich. Just moved the car a bit this time. At my shop I probably would've removed them.
