    Alright I have to say when I got the call from my customer on this one I was very excited [:D]

    The Porsche Carrera GT! Red on Black! 5000 miles in pretty good shape, it needed a very thorough claying, and had some swirls and light scratches that needed to be polished out, and off course the Swissvax Treatment! The interior was cleaned up and the engine was wiped down.

    Time: about 8 hours (2 in the crew)

    Take a look:
    Products Used:
    Adam's Car Wash
    Adam's Clay Bar with Adam's Detail Spray as lube
    Adam's VRT
    Adam's Glass Cleaner
    Adam's Undercarriage
    P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
    P21S Autowash
    Menzerna 106
    Menzerna Top Inspection
    Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
    Swissvax Concorso
    Einszett Leathercare
    Einszett Cockpit
    Einszett Glas Polish

    Tools:
    3m Sun Gun
    Metabo 12-175 with Green and Blue E2K pads

    4. Rinsed down the wheels, tires, and wheel wells
    5. Rinse the car down
    6. Used Adam's Car wash (the water pressure was pretty bad so we opted on not using the foam gun)
    7. Rinse car off throughly with a Karcher pressure washer
    8. Brought the car in and proceeded to clay the car using Swissvax Paint Rubber(yellow/ super fine) and Detail Spray removed the excess detail spray
    9. Masked the car and taped off the clear bra sections.
    10. Used the Metabo with Menzerna 106 to polish out all the imperfections. (blue pad) a few passes per panel at 1500 rpm (Metabo rotary)
    11. After each section was corrected I buffed off the excess polish with a MF Buffing Towel.
    12. Spritzed some Menzerna Top Inspection before another look with the 3m Sun Gun.
    13. Applied the Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and removed with MF Buffing Towel
    14. Applied the Swissvax Concorso by hand and remove with MF Buffing Towel
    15. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
    16. Polished up the glass with Einszett Glas Polish applied by hand removed by hand
    17. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT
    18. Dressed wheel wells with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
    19. Used Adam's Detail Spray to clean off the wheels.

    Why should the cleaner fluid be used? Whats the difference between that and an alcohol wipe down? And how do you like that paint rubber?

    That's what I'm talking about such a sweet, sweet, sweet vehicle..man I'm going to print one of those pictures and post it up on my office wall (I'm still at work :()

    Man that is such a nice vehicle and you guys did an incredable job at detailing that. If I ever get an opportunity to detail such a vehicle I don't know how fast I'd be able to do detail it...I would be way to busy picking up my jaw from the floor...or wiping the droole of the vehicle lol...

    Thanks for sharing
