2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo New Car Prep

New car prep for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo for my client who did a European delivery and drove the "Uber SUV" around Germany and other countries while there, it needed some light correction and protection coming into the fall wet weather season here in the Bay Area.\


I will say Porsche has made nice improvements to this rig with better fit & finish and a outstanding media/stereo system with the Burgmiester system this vehicle had, after a thorough wash I brought the car into the garage for decon steps.




REAL low readings on "B" pillars.......................thank goodness they were not marred badly.




Glossy & clear.




Finish is deconed/polished/ protected.




Trim was a little dry...................




50/50 of matte finish dressing applied.




Some leftover "Euro dirt".




Same area cleaned and dressed.




Panoramic roof option.................."Certified tightness".




Some feel the console of the Cayenne and Panamera to be "Busy" to me it has a "Cockpit/aviation look and is quality.




Subtle led strip..........................




Glass polished and cleaned streakfree.




All jambs polished and protected.




Stock 21"s looking thier best, also tires dressed to a matte finish and no rust on the rotors(Pet peave of mine and easy to prevent).




Interior pics.




Optional upgraded mats.







There was no sun out at the completion of the job, so LED light inspection on the finish to make sure.




Client had Porsche "Delete" the Cayenne Turbo badge, aware that on the 911 Turbo for 2012 there is a option of a "Painted" Turbo script which would have looked nice on this Cayenne however the cleaner look without the busy "Waxcatcher" badges was a good move by the client and I told him as much.




All finished.....................till next time for a maintenance detail in the spring.

 

Nice job again Bob, I like the front center console but there's way to many buttons there

 

beautiful truck...did you sit in it any ? that front seat looks more comfortable then my ekornes "stressless" chair

 

Interested in that trick for no rust on the hubs/rotors.

Needless to say, I'm impressed with the tightness yet again!

 

Perfect as always and thank god it wasn't BLACK.

 

Great job on that Cayenne. Interior looks so comfy. Strange you had so little to work with on the b pillars with it being such a new car.

 

I must have spent 5 minutes looking for a certain button when a customer of mine got their's. love the color of this one and like the painted badge idea as well.

Nice job Bob! REally like the shot of the dressed under/side skirts

 

Nice work Bob, rocker panels came out looking great.

-Kody-

 

Nice work! what an awesome truck.

So how do you prevent rusty rotors? Anytime my GTI sees the slightest bit of moisture they rust up

 

Listen up gents........................... after washing the vehicle, drive slowly back and forth a few times, then dry the vehicle(Preferably with leafblower/microfiber drying towel) then there will still be some rust on the rotors, pull the car out again and drive foward and back a few more times and the residual rust will be removed and the fine rust powder will be on the barrels of the wheels so remove that FIRST before you do anything else and detail the car as needed..................... no more rusty rotors, so now I do not want to see anymore rusty rotors in write ups (LOL).

 

looks good, the interior is far better than the last 2 gens.

 

Looking good. How many ladders and steps do you own? I already remove the rust from the rotors, but thanks for the instructions.

 

Great work Bob! I just asked Mike @ Autoaesthetica about this last week, lol

 

Thanks for sharing bob

 

Thanks so much for the no-rust tip Bob; you're a gentleman and a scholar.

 

Nice work Bob!

 

See I only "Act like a A-hole sometimes"..........................stuff like this procedure is not "Rocket science" and as we all know some stuff I keep close to the vest(thanks to Andy aka "Pumpkinhead") but someone was having a issue and I knew I had to post the solution(In this case lol).

 

Nice work Bob. Too many buttons in the middle though, enough to confuse an astronaut.

 

Nice work! Tasteful colour and interior, too.


Oh, rusty rotors..
I've learned to live with it under many circumstances, but on the garage queen, I tend to remove wheels when washing them, lol, and cover them up while washing the body, with these covers.




When washing the wheel wells, I cover up the brakes and use a dedicated brake cleaner for the brakes, or compressed air if they're just a little dusty.

The covers are waterproof and are actually made for covering up from overspray. They are pretty good when doing long polishing sessions as well, so that the wheels don't get dusty. I don't think they'll fit those 21" though, lol. Got the tip on them from Kelly @ KDS (UK).

 

I like those wheel covers but they must be a b!tch to put on
