    Ahhh... What a car to kick off detailing season for Dan and I :)

    What we have here is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo dressed in Basalt Black with 16.5k miles, previously a 1 owner car... Now it's mine :)

    Goal for this car was well, perfect, or a tleast as close as we can get it.

    Overall the paint was in good condition, it had been buffed at least once before as evidenced by holograms in the car after washing, but nothing close to as bad as we have seen. At the end of 30hrs of detailing over a few weeks we got damn near there... I can probably count on two hands the number of defects the car has, super pleased.

    The final pictures don't do the paint justice. It has a massive amount of metallic flake as you will see in some of the correction shots. It is very similar to the Corvette Carbon Flash Black, in that it hides the awesomeness of the paint in pictures.

    Please enjoy and thanks in advance for any feedback!

    very nice work. Dig the extra step of removing the tips for a good polish.
