Detailer's Domain: PCar/Swissvax 60+ pics

This was a fun detail we had the car for 4 days and went to town on it.

Much thanks to Dan Sene at Concierge Motors he's the bald guy you have seen him in many of my detailing posts.

This P Car needed some massive paint correction, driven on weekends and stored in the city the parking lot put dings, you know the rest.

Anyway a full paint correction and interior detail was needed. For the exterior we used Menzerna SIP and PO85RD and for the final step Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and Swissvax Divine.

For the interior a very good vac, the Leather Master Trio, Einszett Cockpit on the rest. For fun we applied Swissvax Divine on all the carbon fiber trim!

Below are the tools and products used:

Re: Detailer's Domain: PCar/Swissvax 60+ pics

Phil, about that comment about the car being on the battery charger.

Have you had cars in the past that have lost their charge will you were polishing them? I have had that happen to aboout 5 times over the last 2 years and I never had the car for more than 2 days each time. The car has just sitting in my garage and some of the cars were just exterior, so I didn't have the doors open alot or alot of moving the powered seats back and forth. The customer's look at me like I was doing something to their car.

Do you think that it is all coincidence or are we creating a weird ground state or the static electricity we create is doing something to the battery???

Re: Detailer's Domain: PCar/Swissvax 60+ pics

not sure i do know that Porsches tend to loose their charge when sitting.

the car came to me after sitting at the dent guy's shop for 2 weeks.

the dent guy told me to put it on a charger cause he had to jump it.

Phil, Awesome job like always man!

One question, in the products you used it says your LSP was Divine but in one of the LSP pictures you said Crystal Rock.
