Sam Hornish Jr's Becker 996 GT3 Supercup Car

[Phil@DetailersDomain]

Ok this one was a really cool job! I got to do my customer's new purchase Sam Hornish Jr's Becker 996 GT3 Super Cup Car from I think 2001-2002 race season!

This job was a clean up, however it will be going in the shop for a full ground up restoration, paint, engine pull/tune up, and a whole new set of decals from Becker after track season.

I thought this was a good time to try out Adam's Machine Polish and Adam's Machine Super Wax.

This one was much tougher than his 993TT there were just so many decals on this one.

After the full restoration the customer will track it next year in as many track events as he can get to [up]

Process:
P21S Gel on the wheels
P21S Auto wash on the tires
Wash with Adam's Car Wash
Dried with Waffle Weave Drying Towels
Clayed with Adam's Clay Bar (Gray) and Adam's Detail Spray
Used Adam's Machine Polish with Metabo at 1500 E2K Green pad
Used Adam's Machine Super Wax with Metabo at 1500 E2K Black pad

Int:
Vacuum dirt/nylon ties/anything else that didn't belong
A wipe down with Adam's Detail Spray (anything metal)
A wipe down with Einszett Cockpit (the rest)
Seat was pulled vacuumed and wiped down

Engine:
Wiped down and sprayed with Adam's In and out

I'm really curious how you handled this one. What did you do about the decals? Did you just avoid them at all cost, or did you tape them off?

[Phil@DetailersDomain]

on this one the customer asked me to avoid them, he wanted to have the car cleaned up for the last to track events of the year. After the repaint, I will get to hit it up again completely, before the new replacement decals go on.

Here is his other track car on this one I just passed right thru them at 700 rpm, on the paint I went back up to 1500 rpms.

Nice swirl removal!

Cool car too.

sweet car! One of my fav's.

Awesome car.. it's great to hear that the owner actually plans to track it too - far too many times, cars like that just get stuck in garages never to be driven again.

Man... I'm so jealous... you always have the most badass cars for C&B
