Porsche 996 Aero

Havn't posted here much in a long time... and while I don't have a great write-up for this one I figure'd I'd share some pictures of my own personal car that I finally got around to spending some much needed time on a couple weeks ago. I easily logged >1000 track miles this summer and it was really starting to be evident. Since I'm done tracking it for the year I figured I'd clean it back up for street duty.

No befores...it wasn't horrible but it needed some love.

Process:
Wash
Clay
Zaino ZAIO on wheels
Polish: Megs 105 and purple foam wool on a couple of trouble spots
Polish with Menzerna SIP on white polishing pad @ 1500rpm
Polish with Menzerna PO85RD with gray pad for finishing
Polish with Menzerna PO85RD on blue pad (Playing around with jeweling / burhishing)
2 coats of Pinnacle Souveran paste wax

All done...No Sun!!!

Pulled her out of the garage the next day to get some full sun afters.

Looks great.

Very nice. Good to see someone using a car like that for its intended purpose. Were you tracking it at Mid Ohio?

Mid Ohio, Nelson Ledges, Putnam Park and Beaver Run were the only tracks I made it to this year. Hopefully I'll get back to Watkins Glen and VIR next year.

I wonder if you know one of my clients. He's at Beaver Run all the time and his son is as well. Modified Boxster S convertible, Lotus Exige and a couple of other cars.

Soooooo clean! I have been debating about tracking my corvette and I really want to but here in Missouri hard to find places. Maybe Heartland park for me.

Beautiful car! Red done right.

Very Nice!

Looks great. I would have loved to have seen some before pictures because that's a crazy aggressive combo you used. The paint must have been butchered.

Actually it wasn't that bad. I only used the M105 and PFW for spot fixes where I had collected rubber flying off of other cars that marred the surface. For the most part it only needed SIP on a white pad for correction.

very nice result (and car). i wish that i could bring myself to track my C6. i even ordered this one with the F55 suspension (switch adjustable magnetic slective ride dampers - the same system that ferrari licensed from delfi/GM a couple of years ago and now offer on some models). someday. have fun at the track!
