For what it is worth, for other forum members as well that may be into modifying cars. Majority of carbon fiber aftermarket parts have no form UV protection/stabilizers. The resins used to produce the part are porous with microscopic bubbles that we cannot see with our naked eye, and as stated...

For longevity it really should be brought to a professional body shop. The clear resin that is all oxidized has no UV protection or stabilizers built into it. It really needs to be sanded and have an automotive 2K clearcoat sprayed over it. After that it will be polishing and whatever form of...

Happy belated birthday, Mike!

Carefully heat the trim piece with a hair dryer or heat gun until it gets shiny. Do not touch the piece as you will leave finger prints. Let it cool back down to normal temperature. Then treat it with your interior trim dressing of choice.

As a Porsche-file, thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had seen a couple posts from Emory Motorsports about the show, but you obviously captured soo much more! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!

Yes the Ammo NYC vid is wheel centered, but those techniques can be carried over to the rest of the undercarriage. Although frowned upon, here is the link for the specific video: Best Way to Restore Rims & Winter Prep | AMMO AUTO CARE INC. Here is one from Chicago Auto Pros that touches on it...

Chemical Guys and Ammo NYC both have videos out on cleaning undercarriage/wheel wells/suspension using rinseless/waterless wash techniques. Things to remember: having a drain/catch pan and towels to catch what you are rinsing/cleaning away. A good assortment of brushes and having your...

Beautiful!!!!!!

I will echo a couple others- looks like micro fissures in the plastic part as the pattern is very specifically organic looking in the close up picture. Having worked at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealer I have seen it happen with the pillar cladding a few times- even on a vehicle that was less than 2yrs...

Dan not sure if you have teamed up with anyone in the area for PPF for any of your customers, but it is something to consider speaking to the customer about. There is always the option of matte PPF. There is one gentleman that has been serving the majority of dealerships (we used him at the...

For protection against New England winters- I would bring them to a trusted wheel repair company that offers powder coating and have them clear powder coat them. Otherwise, if you don't mind them getting gray every winter, go ahead and sand them up to 1500gr and then polish them with you metal...

As others have stated and your research shows: You cannot polish it. But you can coat it and protect it. Dr. Beasly's and McKees 37 both make some fantastic top-notch matte paint care products. You really can't go wrong with either. ----I will also add my knowledge/experience from the...

Wow Aaryn! What an adventure!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Beautiful work as always, Scott!! That prancing horse is now ready to do its dance and wow the judges!!!!

Nice job, Dan!!

Definitely look into glass polishing as others have stated- I believe Mike Phillips himself has a thread on here somewhere about how it can improve pitting. And, what I have not heard mentioned is PPF!!!! There is glass specific PPF!!!!! I know it is being utilized by many Porsche Club...
