1994 Porsche Detailed for Operation Comfort Modeled by Brittany

Isn't she just beautiful!!

Of course I meant the car!! ;)
 
Blondes In Black Cars! A song by the group Autograph(80's) comes to mind! Awesome job Mike!!! A lot of work, but worth it!!
 
Awesome job! This car looks awesome just like it came off the showroom floor. Couldn't ask for better results than this!
 
Nice car...can anyone chime in...does AUTOGEEK.NET sell the wheel covers pictured and are the water resistant? My biggest pet peeve is doing the tires/wheels first only to have then get wet/spotted during the car washing process. Tnx in advance.
 
Great job,car looks great, kind of old, the girl not the car lol
 
Car came out great for sure but Brittney needs to keep her arms and hands off of the freshly detailed BLACK car, she should've been wearing those gloves everytime she had to touch it, touch with your eyes, not your hands or arms.
 
Car came out great for sure

Quality products, good technique = show car results.

Still looks good today but it had been around 2 years since I first detailed it and it's a daily driver so I had Sam bring it back and after washing and polishing it we applied CQuartz to it.

The above are the after shots here's some of the work that went into it first... note the use of Iron-X AFTER washing to decontaminate the paint.


First thing this morning I washed the car thoroughly but gently as the paint is still overall in pretty good shape. In my e-book there's a section on the two different ways to wash a car (using a normal car wash), and this is the gentle approach.


Before I washed it here's what polish residue looks like after it's dried into fuzzy gaskets like used around the sunroof.

First up... wash the wheels and tires... soft Boar's Hair Brush, lug nut brush and Wolfgang Tire and Wheel Cleaner
94PorscheCTW08.jpg



The Lug nut brush works really well for cleaning the barrels

Bristles are flexible to get into intricate areas and agitate cleaner with roadgrime and brake dust

Daytona Speedmaster Wheel Brush for getting behind the wheel and into tight areas...
94PorscheCTW11.jpg



First wheel cleaned and rinsed...
94PorscheCTW12.jpg



Sprayed on Iron X and let dwell, as you can see the wheels were actually pretty free of any iron contamination... that's a good thing although I know everyone wants to see a lot of color running off the rim... (that would mean the wheel was in fact embedded with iron filings.

After agitating I rinsed...
94PorscheCTW14.jpg



Perfectly clean and contamination free... I repeated the same procedure to the other three wheels and tires...

Next, wash the body panels starting at the top and working down, I also continually rinsed the wheels and tires as I worked around the car so any lingering resides were rinsed off..

Note the labels on the buckets, simple idea but helpful because as you work around the car even though one bucket is the soap solution and the other is rinse water, they both end up with suds floating on top. The labels make it easy to quickly identify which bucket is which...

Next up... decontaminate the body panels using Iron X

After allowing the product to dwell for a few minutes I gently re-washed the paint and then rinsed all the residue off...

Ready to dry, for this I used Guzzler Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towels...

Then Yancy moved the car into full sun so I could capture some before shots... as you can see the paint isn't in to bad of condition. Light swirls and scratches as well as some water imprint spots...

Hey great advice!

Keep in mind she was just here for fun to make a short video when we were still new to shooting videos and I can assure you that after we shot the video I carefully wiped any fingerprints off the paint.

So serious...

:dunno:
 
Sorry Mike, having had 3 black cars in a row back in the day (87' Grand National, 89' LeSabre T-type and 93' Park Avenue Ultra) turned me into a DO NOT TOUCH BLACK CARS kinda of guy so yeah, serious for sure but its not like it doesn't wipe off, right, LOL!
