Thanks JB

JB..

WOW that is very nice. Can you let me know when you get the final product done??? It looks like it has alot of good info for all types of Concours prep for all vehicles.

Great info..

JB in Irvine....amazing work and care to detail and very informative. I put it in my detailing folder, along side the Autopia guide to detailing, and still think your version is more detailed (no pun intended!

)

Well done, JB. I have a couple things I might want to add to this...in my reading I may have missed them if they were there:

1) I think Plexus does such a superb job of cleaning the clear plastic of the instrument panel and the delicate plastic on the climate control/radio screens, that it deserves special mention

2) Some of the storage bins are lined with rubber bottoms. These can be removed, treated, put in ziplock bags, and installed just prior to the event.

3) Any mention of removing the bumperettes for treating and cleaning underneath? I see you do the license plates.

4) I think you may as well go ahead and tell people they need to remove their wheels. It really is the easiest way to effectively clean the wheelwells and alloys.

I can't think of anything else at the moment. That is a huge list and has covered at least a dozen areas I hadn't even thought of!

Great job!

Sure will. Plan to have it finalised in about a week.

Awesome guide! It really makes me want to get my Boxster out of storage early and start cleaning it up in my garage. Problem is that if it is within my reach I won't be able to resist driving it even though the roads are still a mess

The file is not downloading for me right now. Could you update this thread when the finished guide is done, I will definitely read it.
