To start off this write up I would like to share some information regarding this car.
This particular car is owned by a friend of my father and I. He is a very nice guy who has a love for cars that might just match my own. He knows a lot about a few different makes of cars and in my opinion 2 of the best. BMW and Porsche. He also has some of the best taste in cars I have seen. This particular 911 is absolutely AMAZING. Just some things that i notised that are after market were the wheels (champion wheels
), the exhaust system (
) and the cold air intake... ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CAR!!!!! He also has a 356 coupe that I will be doing soon.
Again, this guy is an extremely nice guy who deserves nothing but the best so i tried extremely hard to get his car as close to it as possible.
Also, i was joined by the Roanoke Times (local paper) on saturday to do an article on me. I guess you should PM if you have any interest in seeing it because i do not want to violate any board rules! It should be out sometime next week.
I worked P21S wheel gel into the wheels one at a time using the EZ brush, Swissvax brush and a LOT of q tips.
The wheels were pretty muddy however easy enough to clean up.
I washed the car as normal. However very few pictures here as dad was busy talking to the reported and not taking pics as i asked him to... :censored: haha... PLus it was FREEEEEzinG. the hose froze over night also. I used Dodo Born To Be Mild also.
After this, i moved the car inside to start detailing it. This is also my first detail in my new garage. The floor had to be taken out of it a month back and it has been worked on a lot since. I insulated it (got about half way done) the day before the 911 came in. It is also heated. However the heat escapes because it is not fully insulated however i would say it is around 60 degrees in there.
I also did not get many pics throughout the detail due to my disorganization of my head as I was explaining everything to the reporters of what i was doing.
However after the reporters left i was able to set to work.
I started on the engine bay using techniques that clark helped me with (thanks clark!). P21S TAW was used here. And then it was dressed with 303.
After this was finished I moved to the interior. The car is not driven much and is cared for regularly at another shop down the road. So basically all i needed to do was protect everything and clean the leather up a tad bit.
I started by cleaning and treating every sinngle peice of leather. That took forever as practically the entire thing was leather!
I hand applied Zaino leather in a bottle as it smells pretty good and isnt a bad product. Im looking into a few other conditioners as we speak.

During:
After:
I also protected the interior with 303. Heres a little 50/50.
Now moving onto the paint...
The car is cared for well however it has some washing induced defects. This is due to the previous detailer
I was able to get the paint 95% perfect with 2 passes of PO85RD.
After:
Sorry for the lack of many pics however i was in a rush as I wanted to make sure that i got it done before i left for New Jersey (tomorrow).
I sealed the wheels with Poorboys wheel sealant.
