The owner travels every week, so it is a garage queen. With about 3K miles on it

He saw me a few times at this location, doing a some rides. Asked for a B.card and called me a few days later, to make an appointment.

The Interior

After vacuuming everything. DP Interior Surface Protectant was used on a few interior parts. Leather was cleaned with a water/woolite mix. Then conditioned with Danase leather Rx.

The Wash
Op car wash and the white/yellow Shmitt. After it was almost dry , then it was clayed.

Wheels and tires
Same soap as wash, the 16" wheel brush and a wheel brush. The 16" deep reach wheel brush is great for these rims. One pass of Surf City Tire Pro on tires after.

The Gameplan
The PC and a 5.5 white polishing pad and Optimum polish. The owner wanted a wax put on after the polishing. He didn't want a sealent, so I chose Pinnacle's Liq. Souveran. Put it on the whole car, then removed it with a cobra deluxe jr. mf.

Can I ask why you used 5.5inch pads instead of the standard 6.5inch pads? I have 2 of the exact same pad available, and want to know when to use them?

How was the paint before?
 
I never really liked Porche's but after detailing one and having it for about a week or so I have to admit they are great vehicles. I now have a better appretiation for these vehicles.

Vehicle looks great, always enjoy seeing the work you do.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Excellant job on silver Ed!

Nica you really need to drive a Porsche to appreciate it especially on the track.

I drove the Porche a bit, not as much becuase I felt bad driving another persons vehicle but yea I know what you mean about appreciating it more after driving it. I would love have loved to let my friends Porche loose on the track though man I can just imagine that bad boy taking those corners. They sure handle great. Like I said sure made me appretiate all those Porche owners, I used to say oh great there goes another Porche but after driving one and detailing I actually noticed the attention to detail and the craftmanship that goes on those Porche's. Well just my opinion....actually I'm thinking I'd rather have a Porche as a track vehicle then that 1991 Lambo Diablo ;)

They are just like the 6.5 pads. I didn't feel like changing out the 5 inch backing plate, to the 6 inch. So I used the 5.5 pad :D And I have 3 of them to use. It worked just fine, like the 6.5 would.

The paint was in great shape
 
Great work Ed !! Always love your highend work.
 
beautious as my son would say ... how about I bring the Vette to DFIII dirty and allow you to massage and Souveran it ????

I am sure that could happen
 
Beautiful job and car. I would have went with Liquid Souveran too, if I couldn't use a sealant. As said beautiful job Ed.
You took an awesome pic here. Nice camera work too.
