'76 Porsche 912e
This car was a new acquisition from a client of mine who had chased this particular car for a few years and through a couple of different owners before he was finally able to call it his. The previous owner had used it for a daily driver, so it had some issues. My client was taking it to a Porsche gathering at the end of this month, so he wanted it freshened up. Another note, this car had been repainted in base/clear, it was not the original paint.
Process: Wash: Foam with Meguiar's Shampoo Plus mixed with Optimum Power Clean, then 2-bucket wash with Shampoo Plus Wheels, tires and wheel wells cleaned with Optimum Power Clean 3:1 Clay: Clay Magic Blue Compounded with M105/D300 on Meguiar's MF pads/Griot's Garage DA Polished with HD Polish on Green Buff and Shine pads/Tangerine Hydro-Tech pads Sealed with HD Poxy Tires dressed with AutoFinesse Gloss There was a lot of issues to clean up before I started the detail. White residue on trim, dried compound around all the seams and more on the taillights.       The condition of the paint wasn't too bad, but it definitely needed some improvement.       Afters              Thanks for looking! |
