ScheerSpeed: Revisited Porsche Carrera in a fire station

This is the 2nd time i detail this car. The last time was almost 6 months ago. The protection had completely worn off, and there was some water spots all over the car. I initially tried CG waterspot remover to try and remove them, but they didn't budge, so i had to resort to polishing them out. Plus the owner washes the car about 3 times a week, so there was all sorts of marring from washing.

Before Pics


1z Anti-Insekt doing it's job.






clay wasn't too contaminated...





after clay































taped up and ready to polish





i started out trying a 50/50 with 106FF and a white CCS, but that didn't completely remove the water spots.







so i had to resort to more abrasive polishing using a Orange CCS pad and SIP


For finishing polish i went with 85RD and a blue 3M UltraFina UK pad

Re: ScheerSpeed: Revisited Porsche Carrera in a fire station

Now i decided to try out my new polarizing filter on my Canon Rebel XTi














i really like the next 3 shots. i was only standing about 2 feet away from the car, but it looks like i was far!











and a few cool angles

looks great!

awesome shots, how do you like the polarizer filter? I recently got one for my SLR and love it whenever the sky is in the picture.

To afford a Carrera, the owner is probably a high ranking command officer ( Battalion Chief or higher), has a good part time job on the side, a wife with a good job or comes from money to begin with, or a combination of all 4!

I am a Deputy Chief with my FD, I make a good living, but I can't afford a Porsche... yet!
