Porsche Carrera S Correction

This car belongs to my "Alarm guy" (lol), so it was important to take care of Tony......... I did this car two years ago and some marring and issues had crept up on the owner(Should see the car in less time the next go around hopefully......).

Tastfully modded, with suspension/wheels/flash/exhaust and a factory GT3 front bumper covered by a Premier full front wrap which had some marring issues as well.
All told it was 26 hours spent and as I had other jobs I was juggling not a huge amount of pics, as the car came in.




Marring and dry trim.




Updated newer tailights had been installed, but there was some deep scratches put in during.













Big improvement.




RIDS & marring on rear bumper.




Correction during compounding phase.




Cluster of marring on drivers door.




After compounding and polish steps.




Finish polishing.





50/50's of polished wheel lips.










Finished pics.

 

If you do not like this pic........you are probably not "A car guy".

 

Very nice work, clean setup too!

...Now seriously who did you pay to take those final shots for you :applause:

 

Rollin the Canon "Power shot SX20IS" dawg...................................... next thing you know I will learn to "Photoshop" :shh:

 

WOW I love the rear 3/4 picture, will probably have that ask my background for a couple of days..Thanks for that and tell your Alarm guy nice rims

 

great job BOB

 

Great job. Love the stance of that car. Rims cleaned up nicely.

 

What type of alarms does this guy deal with? My alarm guy friends don't drive anything that nice!

You were so correct in the "tastefully modded" comment.

 

Thank you guys(Joey/Phil/Mrgolfrider)my alarm guy is good at his craft and commands the rate, this car is a 06 and when shined up looks "As new".

 

Looks great. 50/50 on the wheels impressed me. We had a 88 Carrera with 40k miles sold at the dealership the other day. Paint could use some TLC but everything about it was just tight, handling, door/hood gaps, etc.

 

Did you hand polish the lip of the rims or machine it?

 

+1 i would like to know as well, i have the same Champion Wheels...

 

?????

 

Your welcome on the comment on how nice the car looks...................... by hand, no magic process.......................dissapointing is it not?.

 

DAMIT DAMIT DAMIT!!! Good job tho what product did you use if you dont mind me asking

 

The wheels on this Carrera S are Kinesis f110's with a non-cleared lip, Champion wheels(At least everyone I have seen the lips are polished with a clear over them) would require a good polish(menz/megs whatever melts your butter) I used CG Metal shine, but the result on your wheels might not be what you are looking for.

 

Great job Bob. That is one sweet ride !!!! Exactly the way I like it.

 

I have had mine re-finished with no Clear on the Lip. im going to try CG Metal Shine. THANKS BOB!!!

So just applied by hand on a MF Towel or Pad?

 

Great results with a microfiber covered foam applicator, then switch to a 100PPI foam applicator with a finer polish like 106FA. If they are really bad use a DA polisher or Mothers foam polish pad that goes on a drill(Cone type) instead of by hand as you will be there FOREVER.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the Tip Bob!!

Have you ever tried P21S Polishing Soap? Is it any good?
