Detailer's Domain: Porsche 997 C2S/Swissvax

This was a detail that came from a Rennlist member, after months of going back and forth we finally got the schedule figured out and I finally got to meet this mint condition C2S (minus the paint of course, ) so after 2 years of ownership it had seen washes and waxes and was never polished, due to time constraints and no one in the customer's area to take care of it. When I got the car I found that the paint was dull and had tons of wash marks.
So a 2 step polish was done with Menzerna PO203 with an Uber Orange and Green pad followed by Menzerna PO85RD, I finished the car with Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Looks great Phil. Kind of scary though to see the Boar's Hair Brush on the paint. :gasp: At least on my ultra soft Lexus cc it would swirl the heck out of it.

 

I believe that it won't used it on 4 cars with no issues, I get to wash a car much more efficiently with these.

A customer told me the other day I use a boar's hair brush on my skin and I never scratched it once I'm going to use this on my M3.

 

Looking amazing Phil. That new shop must be pretty nice eh?

Love Porsche paint...no orange peel...opposite of BMW

 

Phil, did you say you have an M3?

 

Looks awesome Phil

 

Awesome work Phil. I think I need one of those lights.

 

Looks really good Phil and the new shop looks even better!

 

nice!!! the final shots are awesome, and ur new shop as well!

 

Very nice job. I use a boars hair brush on the seams, edges and grooves, etc. and never had a swirling,scratching issue. I think the key is lots of suds and water and light pressure. Don't think of it as scrubbing with a brush, more like lightly dusting the paint.

 

Awesome work as always Phil !!!!!

 

thanks guys!.

Amp no I was saying a customer with an m3 loves the boar's hair brush

 

Wow, what a turn around!! Superb job! Your shop looks nice, plenty of lighting and room!!

 

Some nice work there Phil, great place to work in as well it seems!

 

Looks great Phil!

Hopefully all us DD guys that live locally can see your shop if we're able to have a meet there! I know I would pack my wallet because I would just have to buy some of the stuff after seeing it used :gasp:

 

I have ac in the shop so its nice and controlled now.

trust me I would love to have some people check out the place once we are fully settled.

we are getting some huge shipments in and we are pretty booked with cars but we need a couple weekends to get the shop in order and organized, if you look at the shots of the place its a mess.

 

Looks awesome Phil great work!

 

Awesome job Phil

 

I know what you mean about deliveries and mess, lol.

Just added 5m extra with shelves this week!

Nice work on the porsche Phil, and the shop looks good

 

Great job, Phil! Looks like 1Z Vinyl Rubber has less gloss on tires then Swissvax Pneu.
