This fully loaded, beautifully appointed, and savagely fast Panamera Turbo S came in for the ultimate treatment. This Turbo S is 1 of only 64 in the country. Supercar speed, Supercar luxury, Supercar exclusivity!

Bob and I tag-teamed this one to bring out the best in the beautiful Porsche paint. This is a good example of why new cars need thorough detailing. It was in good order, but it needed to be better.....so we got to work!

Thanks for looking!
 
A+ work! :props: What did you use to remove blue dyes from jeans?
 
Exceptional work! My Panamera was not a turbo but still an exceptional car. Too bad the wife hated it and it has turned into an Acura ZDX. Oh well. Great job on that baby!
 
awesome brembo brakes rotor and caliper in the background XD
 
Nice job making that Porsche look stunning.
I've always liked those new Panamera's.
 
Can you list any product or pad combinations on this Porsche correction. I'm doing a cayenne gts the same color in a week
