Porsche 911 Turbo (996) - Lapis Blue

Hi Guys, thanks for reading another write up of mine. This time it's a lovely 996 turbo which is 10 years old now, so needed some TLC!

This car was booked in for:
- Light Correction detail to remove around 85-90% of the defects, sometimes more
- Full wheel refurbishment
- Leather detail
- Brake Caliper re-finish
- Brake Hub Refinish


Here is the car on arrival…















The car was taken outside and thoroughly washed, then brought in for the real work to begin!

Another photo to show after a wash how many swirls there were in the paint. This robbed the paint from its true colour and clarity. 10 years of bad washes have no doubt caused this.



The car was clayed, dried and we then inspected the paintwork under various lighting to spot any repairs if any. We also checked the paint thickness.

Now we are onto the paint correction stages. The following all demonstrate the amount of defects removed from the clear coat, bringing back the colour shine and gloss. Please note the after shots were taken before any refining. Also, it was an incredibly muggy day, my camera lens kept steaming up slightly when I was focusing!



The Porsche badge was removed to properly polish the surround areas.







This ensured the best possible job around the badge and no swirls left very close to the badge.

The bonnet in my opinion has been painted a number of years ago and a lot of buffer trails and swirling had been left by the body shop.

Before







As with a lot of Porsches, unfortunately the rear wiper has been placed down incorrectly and cut through the paint. This is worryingly common, which sucks. To fully repair this the whole rear quarter would need repainting plus blending any surrounding panels. The owner asked me to do what I could..

Before



After



Still evidence of it, as the scratch has gone through the clear coat, but no longer a ghastly mess on the panel.

Some more before/after photos of various areas during paint correction. Under Metal Halide lighting to properly show up the defects, plus IPA wipe downs.















































































Now it was time to get the wheels off the car for the next stage of the job.

The calipers had suffered during the years, and the discs were looking tired. The lacquer on the calipers had failed due to brake fluid leaking on them during servicing.



Preparing them..









After



Now the wheels had really seen better days. These were fully refurbished









Wow.. much better right??







Now, all that's been done all the finishing items were carried out including

Seals
panel gaps dusted
arches dressed
tyres dressed
paint waxed
exhaust tips
glass cleaned and sealed
and many other items I've probably forgotten about!

The paint was waxed with Swissvax Shield




(clammy photo sorry!)

The carpets were cleaned and extracted as much as they could be. They came up quite well for 10-year-old fabric!





All the leather inside was properly cleaned and protected


50/50 leather shot! I mentioned to the owner when I first saw the car that the leather desperately needs a clean. He couldn't see there would be too much of a difference, and was hesitant to take me on with the extra cost for leather cleaning. I convinced him it would definitely be money well spent. What do you guys think??












The owner was over the moon with how fresh the leather looked afterwards!

Once all that was done, it was ready to leave and for the owner to pick the "new" Porsche up!

Let me know how you think it looked afterwards!























thanks for reading my write up guys!






Just to let you know, I now do write ups for only approx. 15% of my work, however I do upload multiple photos to my Facebook or twitter of the cars I work on day to day. If you would like to see any of this, and most car lovers do love it, please find me on the below links!!

Cheers

Stunning. Just stunning. Dramatic turnaround on the paint and wheels. Also some of the the best 50/50s I've seen on leather before. Top job!

 

Amazing!

The leather 50/50 has me both impressed and feeling uneasy that the customer was sitting in the seats before.

 

Awesome turnaround on those seats! Love the caliper refinish as well.

 

looks like a new car

 

Man, the work your shop does just never ceases to amaze me. Absolutely outstanding work!

 

Agreed ^^

Love reading your write ups!

 

WOW...the wheel, leather seat and the paint
what did you use on the wheel and the paint?

 

great job Jay.

love the work done on the calipers, rims, and leather.

i dislike dealing with the tape when detailing leather, seems to always get in the way and peels off b/c of the wetness
