Xfactor Detailed: Modded 996 Turbo

My friend referred his uncle who owns this and an A8L that I'll be doing tomorrow. As well as quite a few other vehicles. This 996 Turbo is one raspy sounding ride, but I'm not complaining:worship2:. This was booked in for everything but polishing. I may be polishing it later on. It got full interior, and wash and wax exterior, as well as wheel wells/engine bay detailed. Anyways here is what I used for the products:

- 2 Bucket Method w/ Grit Guards
- Proline Grout Sponge
- Majestic Solutions Super Green Stuff
- Dawn Dish Washing Soap
- Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss

Wheels/Tires:
- Majestic Solutions Super Green Stuff
- Raceglaze XL Wheel Brush
- Meguiars Tire Brush
- Old Sponge cut in half
- Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss

Interior:
- Majestic Solutions Leather & Plastic Cleaner
- Lexol Leather Conditioner
- Finish Kare 108 Dressing
- Finish Kare 316 Fabric Sealant
- Chemical Guys Window Cleaner
- RagShack Window WW
- Wal-Mart MFs
- Autowerkes Exclusive MF Applicator Pads

Engine Bay:
- Majestic Solutions Super Green Stuff
- Finish Kare 108 Dressing

Last Step Protection:
- Bilt Hamber Autobalm

On to the pictures!:thud:
2BM w/ GGs FTW!


dirty dirty rims





Swirls...hoping I get to polish it


Interior:


Gum on the seats



MS SGS at work on tires

MS SGS at work on rims:applause2:

Calipers cleaned as well

Before of the rims when they were dry, brake dust was caked on terribly, picture does no justice

Raceglaze Wheel Brush from Ken, works amazingly! Don't even touch my Megs one, the RG one barely splatters...helps keep my legs "brake dust" free lol

Using a sponge

Rinsed off

brake dust water



After of the wheels:





On to the wash stage

Fuel Filler area was filthy


Sadly...nothing I could do, the paint on the exhaust tips was chipping off


Engine bay all tidied up



Trim got dressed 50/50 shot


Time to clay


Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss dwelling...I love this stuff!

Buffed off


These next two shots demonstrate the filling capabilities of Bilt Hamber Autobalm, quite impressive



Key hole, filthy!

Cleaned


Reflection:


Waxing the Ruf spolier:worship2:


Ken taught me this way of applying Autobalm. It works very well, lets you do a larger area without having the wax dry up on you.... you don't want Autobalm to dry. Here is how I do it, mist the area lightly with water

Then apply, and wipe off...simple and effective

Collinite 845 for the windows, love doing this...works like a charm


All done!



Lovin the glass


Sorry didn't take durings of the interior, I got a bit rushed.


Pedals could have been better

Thanks for looking! Any tips on how to document details a better would be greatly appreciated!

 

Seriously nice work! It is cool to see such a meticulous young guy working hard and getting results! The only thing I would point out (and I am in no way detracting from your work) is in the engine bay, make sure you get down around the air box where it goes below the latch on the rear wall. Other than that, it looks great!

 

Looks great, i would say you documented very effectively

 

Awesome job dude!

 

Thanks, appreciate that. I saw that in the pics

thanks!

thank you!

 

Damn, nice job! The lip on those rims is crazy.

P.S Are those crocs I see? :giggle:

 

fake wal-mart ones:applause2: They were like $6.99 I think on sale lol...I was with my dad and just saw them, so why not. They're awesome, no more soaked shoes and socks haha

 

really nice job on the car. what dilution do you use for your leather and plastic cleaner?

 

Great detail. It looks beautiful even without being polished. You should be proud of yourself. You have come along way in the past year. Way to go X...:thumb:

 

Honestly I really can't remember. It works great though...sorry

Thanks Dave! Means a lot to me, I'll be picking up a rotary in the upcoming week as well! Stoked for that:headbang:

 

Great job man!! You did that car right, sorry to see the owners let it go so bad.

The engine looked great! Better than new probably!

What was the total time you spent on it?

Please let us know if you get to polish it out!

 

Thanks! I started at 1:40pm and ended around 7:30-8:00. So roughly 6 and a half hours or so. I'll let you guys know if I get to polish it.

 

Great job X!! The car looks incredible. I think you use as many Majestic Solutions products as I do! Bet you can't wait to get that rotary. Keep up the good work and you'll have more work than you can do.

SpecC I use it at 1:1.

 

That's some beautiful work!

 

Fantastic Job X-Factor, You are destined for Greatness :applause:

 

Well done :applause: Vehicle looks great, I'm a huge fan of the Porche Turbo :druling: Wicked rims too :thumb:

 

nice work X :applause:

liking the wheels too!

 

holy crap! Way to go buddy. Hopefully you had a nice tip on that one. What camera are you using? What was your engine cleaning process?

 

Thanks JL! I'm waking up at 7:30 tomorrow morning to head out to Kens to try a couple rotaries out and bug him:applause2:

Thanks!

Thanks bud, appreciate it!

Thanks Carlos, I've always loved p-cars, but after doing this one I have a whole new respect for them

Thanks bud!

Thanks! I'm just using a Canon SX110is on a tripod. For engine cleaning on this I just sprayed everything down with Majestic Solutions SGS, brushed it, then wiped off. I then sprayed some ONR on it and wiped it off, then sprayed Finish Kare 108 Dressing on an MF Applicator pad and wiped down the plastics and whatever else.

 

Tightness! Well done
