Highly modified 997 Turbo correction

This car was especially fun to do because if I had the means(money) this is almost exactly how I would have Sharkwerks do the car.

08 Porsche Turbo EVOMS 700 horsepower kit
PASM coilover suspension
HRE C-21 wheels
Cargraphic exhaust
FVD steering wheel
Short shift kit
Floating rotors
End links
Factory front spoiler aero kit
997 GT-2 side skirts(paint to match)
Tech art Spoiler II rear deck lid/wing


The wheels were really bad,and wheels with a polished un-clearcoated lip are sensitive to harsh cleaners. Normally I would use P & S brake buster or P21s gel for safety as I did not have the option to dismount the wheels.



So I used a new beta sample of Gloss-it wheel gel which is safe but has more bite to it without the fear of an etch mark,so cleaning resumed with a combo of EZ Detail brush and Ace power stick the results were great.





Now this car is only a couple of months old but the usual dealership induced machine holograms and RIDS were there,also the paint work to the wing and front splitter had a ton of left over sand scratches and compound swirls the correction required Megs 105 with a wool pad and Gloss-it EVP,then foam compounding with Gloss-it evolution cut followed by Megs new finishing polish 205 which I think is better than Ultrafina especially on soft paints.
