WOW x 2!!!!!! Too bad the dealer didn't get a chance to see your work. Then you could show him what dealer prep "should" look like. BEAUTIFUL WORK BRYAN!

Excellent reversal of a dealer vandalization free-option package.

Thanks Red! The detailer that was there said something to the effect of, "That guy is not here." Not sure if he ment on a permanent basis or what....

It looks great now.

I'm surprised you felt the need for 3M ultra-fine after 106FF. What was the reasoning? Did you see something you didn't like?
Thanks JJ! I was actually having some issues using 106ff on this soft clear. With a white CCS pad it was "binding up" on the paint. You could actually feel and hear the metabo slowing down. This also seems to create more heat. I saw the same thing happen with this combo on the black F430 that Todd and I detailed down in FL. From what Ryan thinks the sharp abrasives are actually biting into the soft clear before they are broken down. So I will make sure I have some IP and FPII with me on the next "soft clear car" I polish. Back to your question, I just wanted to ensure the paint was hologram free. On something like a vette, I like the 106ff/white as the clear is so hard it just does not matter with the rotary.

Thanks Jean Paul! The owner wanted it done right, so I did the best I could.

Thank you! It was not a big deal at all. I was a bit at first. But I figured if you are polite to folks they will usually do the same.

Thanks WL! I think this is the 3rd car I have used UF on. I can't compare it as I never really used any of the presta polishes to finish with.

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

Done the way it should have been in the first place. Beautiful work, just stunning. Whoever was responsible for letting that car get out the way it looked before should be horsewhipped then fired. It's a Porsche not a Pinto for cryin' out loud.

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

WOW Bryan!

You even fixed this cars paint in the den of the adversary.........I bet you will be hearing from the dealer about other cars to fix in "his shop". That is almost like a kick in the jewels to them

Cheers,

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

That is an excellent transformation and great job as always. The porsche looks extremely wet and deep, I believe it will look awesome in the sun. Lately with all the discussion on the UF and seeing this wonderful result, I think I will be picking up a bottle soon to give it a try .

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

This is awesome. I always expect great "after" pictures, but this one blew me away!

While I hope the dealership offers you a lot of work, I also hope the client made the dealership pay you for fixing their screw up, and pay you well!!

Great job!
