1998 911 revisited

Very nice client, who wants the car done 3 times a year or so,
Mostly driven on weekends, but once it rained while driving around town. It was actually dirty.
The paint had light cobwebs, but I knew that the paint is soft so out came

qew

Poli Seal and the Flex with a white ccs pad. Speed 6

The tires received 2 coats of NL

Protected it with Max Wax.

Most of the imperfections were removed. Tried taking pictures but the clouds came by.

3.5 hours, that inclueded a qew on a ghia.

All pictures were taken on Auto (big mistake) except the last one. So I darkened those a bit.

I hope you like!

Befores






Afters

Re: 1998 911 revisited

Fapping fantastic! You boys are running your Flexes on 6, I haven't had to go above 3.5 yet when doing a light polish. I should man up and kick it up to 6 and see the results.

Love the look of NL on the tires, it's all I use...
