Bella Macchina is Italian for "Beautiful Car/Machine" so I guess the appropriate title for this one would be Schöne Maschine, which is German for the same. I have prepared several cars for this client for competition concours, and he has a special place in his heart for this very cool Porsche Turbo.
It is a 1988 model, fully loaded with the Slantnose opition, that pushed the window stick above 100K, in 1988! I am very lucky to have a select client base which demands 100 percent from each piece of machinary I am lucky to touch.
This Porsche recieved our Perferizone Finitura (Perfect Finish) exterior package, with our Trono del Re Primo interior package (King's Throne Plus) which includes a full leatherique treatment to soften and restore the aged leather.
The car was washed with Optimum Car Soap(with a light mix of Meguiars' APC) in a foam gun, then clayed with Sonus Grey Clay using Pinnacle Clay Lube as the lubricant before being rewashed with Optimum Car Soap. The rims where sprayed with P21s Wheel Gel and left to dwell during the clay process, before being aggitated with a boars hair wheel brush and rinsed clean. The tires and wheel arches (I'm going for the British thing
) where scrubbed with a 8:1 mixture of Meguiars APC.
After blowing dry with a leaf blower and blotting the remains with a Water Guzzler, we inspected the paint in the sun. There was a lot of light swirling (not uncommon in the soft Porsche single stage enemal) and several deeper scratches running from the nose to the back, as well as a fair amount of RIDS.
Tight areas and trim pieces where taped off on the edges using 3M blue painters tape...
The owner and I discussing polishing options.
Luckly I had my better half, Brian along to work some of his concours magic on the original interior surfaces and fabrics. The interior was vacummed and the floor mats and removable carpet pieces where hand scrubbed using a mixture of different APC's and shampoos.
Floor boards under the carpets where vaccumed and treated with Jeff Werkerstatt Prime and a coat of Meguiars' #16.
