Oh My...A Gray 996 Porsche..not Black

[Totoland Mach]

My eyes got a break on this car...a twin turbo silver gray 996. This is a frequent driver (one look at the wheels gave that away). Removed wheels and cleaned them + fender wells. Paint was "ok"..but lacked the "Toto'izing"

Here's some before pics:

Wheel well after some apc/soapy water

Wheels before...whew! Meg's Hot Rims + apc + soapy water

After:

Paint before. Pretty decent with light scratches and some swirls

Used Meguiar's 83 + 106ff on the So1o Polish pad, then Z2 and a wipedown with Z8

Next up is a Ford GT Gulf Oil edition (complete with the Dan Gurney helmet bubble). While waiting for some service parts, I got the wheels cleaned and the wheel wells done. Collector car with a very nice finish so this will be a quickie.

See You Folks!

The wheels and wells on the 996 turbo looked pretty bad. It's nice to see other people pulling the wheels off. Nice job Toto.

Toto, from the way the walls are painted it looks like your at Motorcars International in Springfield, MO.

Beautiful car, and as always amazing work toto. The paint is crystal clear, deep, and wet. Excellent job on those wheels too.

Amazing work as always!! Are you using the Metabo?

Amazing work as always!! Are you using the Metabo?

I still use the Metabo with a small backing plate/pad for the hard-to-reach areas. Ever since I put the Meguiar's So1o backing plate on the Dynabrade, it's become the most manageable piece of equipment I've even owned.

Thanks much for the compliments.
