2006 Porsche Carrera 4S Convertible

[Pats300zx]

This is a detail of a 2006 Porsche Carrera 4S convertible that I had the opportunity to detail yesterday. As most of you know the weather here in the Northeast is not conducive to detailing but when this client asked that I work on this car how could I resist. It truly is a work of art with at the 3.8 liter engine putting out 355 HP.

I had alot to deal with besides the cold. The client was having a ton of landscaping and they were tearing up the ground with compressed air, blowing leaves and stuff all over the place, and planting trees. All and all I was able to work around it. I was really rushing to get the car outside before it got dark. I had to pull the car out before I was completely done just to get these shots. Please excuse some of the areas that may have not been wiped down completely. I was able to spend about an hour after the photos and the depature of the landscapers to finish up the small details.

The client is taking delivery of a new white Audi R8 on Friday so hopefully Saturday I will be giving it some TLC.

Tonya...you can see that the underside of the engine area was not completely wiped down until I got it back inside and went over a few things.
