Porsche Boxter detail

I detailed this car about 2 years ago and back then it only had wery light wirling that the pc and op with an orange pad too out with ease.

Not this time. The car parks in DC and in 2 years it accumulated a lot of scratches that are too deep to remove. Good thing because the owner doesn't really care.

INTERIOR

VACUUM
TOL DEEP DOWN
CASTROL SUPER CLEAN
STEAM
S&G ON WINDOWS

EXTERIOR

Re: Porsche Boxter detail

Nice Thomas. I like the choice of the Flex and 95, it worked great to bring up the level of the paint.

I agree. It's four points on your license to treat a Porsche like that, right?

Great save!
