Another Porsche for me and another bad case of a previous detailing job, but even worse than the last one I corrected. Finish looked and felt like they used #85 and wool for hours, maybe even steel wool.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to 100% as I didn't want to polish too much, not knowing what was previously done on the soft paint, so here's what I did and the photos...

Wash: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got wheel brightener 4:1
Dry: Cali blade and meg's water magnet
Clayed with Meg's Smooth Surface clay

Polish:
Menzerna SIP | Meg's 7006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | PC random orbital @ speed 5
Klasse SG on top

Meg's Hyper Dressing on all exterior trim and wheel wells 2:1
Meg's NXT on tires
KSG on wheels
Mother's on exhaust tips

Interior:
Vacuumed everything
Meg's hyper dressing on all interior plastic/trim/vynil 2:1
Lexol on leather

Stoner IG on glass inside & out

Took a little over 9 hours


Photos: (first couple after shots were taken after SIP/7006 so some hazing and holograms were still present) I'm hoping to get a few whole car photos out in the sun tomorrow when the owner picks it up as snow is melting here and everything is wet.

Great job on the Porsche. The person who wrecked it before you should be punished severely. That's a Great turn around. 9 hours,Wow.
What was the total charge for the detail. Once again good job!
 
Ivan: OUTSTANDING paint correction! I've done a few black Porsches and one had even been burned by the "authorized" dealer... what a rip. The same dealer wanted to hire me and pay me a whopping $47.50 per car and expected 2 cars per day. Gee, now I see why.

I didn't increase the price even though I estimated the job at ~7hours due to the fact that I had Thurs-Sun to work on it... so the 9 hours didn't seem like the 9 hours you pull off in one day haha. He's picking it up today actually due to today being the first somewhat nice day after a few days of snowing and snow melting here in Chicago.
To answer your question, $320 for the complete detail
 
whaoo you save it, excellent work on that paint :cheers:
 
EWWWW! So many swirls, wonder if that car was washed with a toothbrush...

Great job on it, superb!
 
That had some nasty swirlage on it. You brought it back to a beautiful finish.
 
Awesome turnaround. Client should be very happy now. Good job
