Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

Great work. Don't you just love correcting a car at the dealership right there in front of there own people. I had a similar experience and was detailing right next to there so called "detailing department".. ha They were looking at me like huh??

Thanks Gen2! I think you will like working with the UF. Let us all know what you think.

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!
Thanks Garrison! I am pretty sure everybody walked away happy after this one. Of course the client being happy is the most important part.

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

Really great looking detail job. Did you take some close up after shots of the areas with the fine scratches shown in the before pictures?

Thanks!

Was dark out when I got done after 7pm and the client needed to get back to Charlotte. So only time for a few pics.

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.
I've never had this happen with 106ff before, but I've had it happen alot of times with SIP. The last time it happened, I went over the car with an IPA wipedown. That did the trick. SIP worked well and without one "binding" from then on. It appears that Menz's ceramiclear polishes are picky about what is on a car... QD residue, previous polishes, LSP traces, etc. It seems to prefer a completely bare surface to really work well on. A grey LC pad seems to work a bit better with 106 on really soft clears.

That car looks a-mazing. I bet the owner was floored.

Re: 2007 Black Porsche Carrera S

Damn nice job!!!

I can't believe that the car looked like that....brand new from the dealer!!

Frankly, I don't know that I would have accepted delivery of that car, in that condition.
