06 Porsche 997 C4S Cab Restorative Correction

Longtime client, I have done this vehicle many times in the past years however the car "Got away" from my client and I had not seen the vehicle in two years................... it was VERY bad. It is a daily driver with over 100,000 miles on the odometer so you have to love a guy who actually "Drives the car".

Dirty and crusty as it was brought in.








Convertible top with bird poop dropping.





Stains and coffee cup ring staining as well.





After a 2.0 hour wash, Daniel from Car Connoisseur utilizing the surface prep towel to decon the finish.





The clearfilm was really bad, bird poop etch scratches and water etch................. this would take the better part of 3.5 hours during the heavy correction to fix the film.








Initial 50/50's of the trunk film.













Daniel working on the rear decklid area.





50/50 on the drivers door.





Daniel on the passenger door.





Engine bay had not seen me in LONGtime.











During the wash step we cleaned as much as possible on the face and barrels of the wheels, here I am dismounting the wheels as they would need much more effort to remove the embedded brake dust on the spokes and barrels of the "Lobster fork" forged OE wheels.





Time to finish the job right, and remove old wheel weight tape residue and embedded crud.








Both Daniel and I would spend time on the wheels, he spent more and did outstanding work as usual.

 

SupercleaNESS.








Wheel wells were as bad as it gets............................





During cleaning.





Rear bumper had been re-sprayed and was shrunk up bad, note Daniel's reflection is dull and hazy.





After heavy cutting, reflections have restored clarity.





Mats were toast, but we deep cleaned them anyway.





After.





Greasy keyhole.





Cleaned up.





More marring.





Corrected.





All finished, the vehicle is now clean and protected and regular scheduled intervals will keep it this way.











Engine bay looking new once again.







Convertible top restored to new.

 

Clearfilm restored.














Clear reflections while sun was behind the clouds of the film on the trunk.








It is possible to have this kind of mileage and have the car look like this with proper work completed on it.

 

Beautiful work Bob, it's always inspiring to have look through your write ups.

 

You are THE man!! Nice resurrection!

 

Epic work there , congrats guys.

 

Awesome. Another outstanding job. Love reading your write ups.

 

4S Cleanness with Bob and Daniel handling it! :applause:

 

I'm speechless over those results. Fantastic work on a car with that kind of usage looking better than new.

I'd love to know more details on which products and technique you used on the convertible top.

 

This is very very impressive. It's indeed rare that a car like the 911 that is relatively young is seen with 100K+ miles. Looks absolutely brand new in the afters.

 

I actually think you and daniel have some sort of synergy thing happening here. 1 bob + 1 daniel gives what amounts to 2 bob and daniels. wow

 

thats just awesome work guys!! looking tight!

 

Proper result, looks like it has a thousand miles on it.

 

Daniel is a quality guy both in his work/skillset, but his integrity and zero B.S. conduct sets him apart from almost all people I have worked or dealt with(Wish he lived up in Norcal).

 

I will not say which cleaner I used in this instance, but do not use a strong APC as it will possibly etch. Try a stiff bristle brush and Raggtopp cleaner with thorough rinsing mixed with "Elbow grease" and the top can be cleaned well.

 

Continued greatness Bob and Daniel.

A+ work guys!

 

Awesome work as usual!

 

Your work is ALWAYS killer. Dig your threads. Thanks for sharing!!

 

Awesome job! Looks like that car missed you guys very much, haha.

Geez how do people get that much grease in the keyhole?
