    It's been a crazy last few weeks! I've been putting in over 60 hours a week Detailing!

    GT2RS:

    This GT2RS in particular took me about 9 hours on my own for the exterior, the Interior is going to be done, but at a later date when the Swissvax Leather Healer comes in.

    Where to begin... This car hadn't been washed in a VERY long time, and spent a whole year traveling with it's owner without any sort of "Proper" Detailing, and had only recently been brought back to Miami.

    The exterior was very contaminated to say the least.

    Here's how the car looked upon arriving.

    After unloading my supplies from the car, I decided to go ahead and apply SONAX Full Effect to the wheels before preparing the buckets in order to let the product work in.

    Following cleaning the wheels, I proceeded to clean inside all the hard-to-reach areas and body panel creases. For this I used P21S Total Auto Wash with a Swissvax Detail Brush

    Swissvax Car Bath Opaque was used on all the Matte Carbon body pieces.

    Following the wash, the entire exterior surface, including glass was clayed using Swissvax Paint Rubber (Yellow) with Quick Finish for lubrication. Following that, all the rubber seals were treated with Swissvax Seal Feed; and the plastics were treated with Swissvax Protecton.

    Next on the list was to take care of the Matte Carbon pieces wit hthe Swissvax Opaque Line

    After treating all the Matte surfaces, I proceeded to Apply Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Regular and subsequently Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax by hand.

    I then treated the exterior with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Regular By Hand

    The gloss Paint was then treated with Swissvax Zuffenhausen wax for Porsche Paint Systems.

    Removing the wax with a Swissvax MicroPolish towel... the BEST towel to remove wax...

    The Door Jambs were finished with Swissvax Nano Express (Glossy) and Swissvax Opaque Wax (Matte)

    The interior HAS NOT been detailed yet, but still worth a picture...

    Killer work Dom.

    It's hard to tell the finish on the matte carbon. How exactly would you say opaque enhances the finish? Or is it strictly protection?

    Thanks! It certainly gives it a more wet and nourished appearance. It also makes the matte parts bead up water very nicely

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Nice!

    How can anyone argues that this is one of the best looking cars in the world, if not _the_ best looking car in the world? Absolutely stunning in every way.

    I definitely like the GT2 RS's better than the GT3's! That thing looks amazing.

    I guess, a little Googling turned up that Beechjet 400 in the background left Winston-Salem for Grand Cayman this afternoon. Probably had to make a withdrawal to pay for the Swissvax treatment. Tough life... :)
