    Two Porsches originally booked for "light correction" and cleanups which ended up becoming moderate paint correction and light restorative detail work on both vehicles.

    First, 89' Speedster...

    Wheels and tires cleaned with light mix of AutoGlym CWC 1:1

    Paint looked like this before correction up close...

    After all prep, claying and paint readings the correction process started on the single stage paint.

    Paint correction carried out with M105, Menzerna Powerfinish and PO85rd

    Some correction shots...

    All plastic and rubber trim was treated with Pre-Wow and then Black Wow, prior all trim was scrubbed clean with isopropyl alch. to remove old dressing and dirt

    Next: 930 Slantnose Turbo Cab

    The condition of this car was actually a bit worse than the Speedster, the finish lacking in gloss and clarity and the trim work looking very dry and faded.

    Sometimes picking up defects on white is hard to show on camera so here is a 50/50 using just the T8 setup in my garage to show the difference in color and clarity...

    Wing rubber needed multiple applications of black wow to restore a natural black sheen..

    Great work. The vents on the rear of the slantnose must have been fun.
