My neighbor left his new-to-him Porsche Boxster with me a for a little TLC while he was away. Interior just needed to be freshened up a bit, but the exterior needed a good polish. The car showed signs of being detailed not long ago, but the clear bra needed some work and there was no LSP left anywhere.
Please excuse the state of the garage. Prepping for some electrical work that’s coming so that I can finish it off before snow hits. Many more lights coming vs the two normal house lights that currently light the space. A heater is coming with insulation once everything is in place. Sheetrock may need to wait until next year.
Before:
Polishing:
After:
(This would have been an awesome shot if my cars were not in the background...)
Products used
Conclusion:
Overall, I was happy with the way the car turned out. I found HD Polish+ to be a little difficult to remove. I even tried N914 at panel wipe dilution, which worked, but it was so humid that I could get it to dry easily. The process took me close to 8 hours.
