I've been using Saphir for most of the time I've been detailing. It's not as easy to apply as something like Vintage. It doesn't have the buttery texture - it's grainy, but not as grainy as Poorboy's Natty's Blue. It applies and removes easily and it makes subsequent washing a breeze (the REAL advantage of a good wax).
Klasse is something I have been using for some time as well. I'm probably one of the last professionals that use it (on Autopia at least). It's good product but I imagine the technology is completed outdated by stuff like Zaino, Ultima, and the Optimum sealants.

Porsche paint can be very soft as you may have found out.
Great job on the interior and seats. I have the Adaptive Sport Seats which on the drivers side seat area, the leather is "puckering". Porsche rep did not approve replacement, which I now have to escalate up the Porsche command to have it done.
Leather in these cars have a very unique odor more so than other leather. Trying to replicate it is difficult at best, but a few product work well with it. One being Sonus, another being 1Z Lederfledge and Zaino Z-10. Sonus seems to be the closest I've found so far.
If he's storing it for winter, hopefully he will increase the air pressure in the tires to 60lbs and or use Tire Cradles. And use some gas conditioner as well. Obviously a battery maintainer.
For paint, I've found mild polishes and pads work best. I still use Menzerna P085RD for most of the work. Any good sealant works well for winter storage. A cover wouldn't hurt as well.
Once again, great job!

Thank you, Deanski.
It's an 06 and I'm not certain how many miles are on it. It gets used though. IIRC the car is driven throughout the winter and should be receiving a sealant application soon.
It's certainly not my first Porsche. I don't find Porsche paint to be soft, it's more in the pleasant middle range to me. I always find them easy to polish.

You have quite the eagle eye. Yes, in fact, I detailed the exhaust tips afterward and removed all the grime. It was just after these pictures were taken.
