    Hey Guys!
    So I got this call from a gentlemen located in Orlando who was referred to me by the guys down at Swissvax US. We met at a Five Guys Burger in down town to check the car out... and have lunch!
    Well its a older Porsche (all original) and in need of a good detail! I picked the car up from him about a week and half later....


    The car upon arrival.....

    Got the car all washed, clayed and taped up. Took the head lights and tail lights out along with some other smaller pieces.
    On the drivers side of the car the clear film had already been taken off the rear flair... probably for some time now judging by the paint. The passenger side, well that's a different story.... this piece of film had been on the vehicle since birth I'm sure and was not easy to get off....
    We will be putting new ones on in the very near future. Here is before and after!

    and 3 years later..... I got it off!!!!

    [​IMG]

    Wet sanded about 80% of the car. (NOT) the front and rear bumpers, wing....

    After compounding..... Still needs much polishing.....

    The front bumper has suffered much over the years....

    and about as good as it will get...

    Finishing up on some of the smaller areas before some final polishing

    [​IMG]

    The next morning I pull the car out and check for any other marks or defects and give it a good rinse!!!

    [​IMG]

    After the rinse down I did have to compound and polish a few more areas....

    Moving On!!!!

    Leather Cleaning and condition......

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The leather took quite a while to do.... Several passes and was protected several times with Elephant


    [​IMG]

    Time to get the car back together.....

    Almost done!
    Went around and touched up some chips and large scratches with touch up paint....


    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Some of the chips on the hood covered....
    [​IMG]
    and on the doors where it had some chipped paint I filled in....
    [​IMG]

    3M extracut to cut the wet sand.... then
    Just about all the correction work was done with Swissvax's Strong, Medium and Reg. Cleaner fluids along with Pneu tire dressing and topped off with SV wax....


    Really a lot more went into this detail.... This car hits harder than Mike Tyson and put up a good fight.... But got her done!!! Here are the final pics!!!! Enjoy!!!

    Brian,

    That is one stunning Porsche 911 now !
    It looked like dead-Porsche-walking before and you gave it a much needed new life again !!!
    Bet the Client was close to having a major coronary after seeing it the first time - I know I would ! :)
    You did a beautiful, careful, detailed, absolutely perfect job, Brian !!
    I am so proud of you ! We are all so proud of you !

    Thanks for the awesome write up and the pics were also outstanding - you are a man of many talents !!

    Did the owner ask if you'd replaced his car with another one?!

    I just can't imagine how much time goes into something like that, even for a pro!
