2008 Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet in Basalt Black Metallic KBPCM

Client pickup this car used from a local Porsche dealer. Only 3500 miles after sitting on the dealers lot for a few months.

Process:

QEW wash
Dry
Clay w/ Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.
Dry
Wipe down with straight IPA.
M105/orange pad/PC 6.
Z6 wipedown to remove dust.
M205/Green CCS/PC 4.5.
Rinsed off wheels/ wells and tires w/ PW at safe distance.
Wheels cleaned with Valugard custom wheel cleaner and various brushes.
Tires/Wells cleaned with Eimann Fabrik Hi-Intensity Cleaner and tire brush.
Rinsed off wheels/tires/wells at safe distance w/ PW.
Rinsed off car with Pressure washer at safe distance.
Foamed via lance/PW Zaino Z7
Fabric top cleaned with Raggtop cleaner.
Washed w/ Sheepskin mit via 2BM
Rinsed off w/ PW at safe distance.
Dried with quality WW MFs.
Air movers positioned to help facilitate drying of fabric top.
Covered areas around fabric top.
Applied Raggtopp protectant in 2 directions 15 mins apart.
Z6 wipedown of all painted areas and areas (glass/trim) around fabric top.
Applied 2x of ZFX'd Z5pro followed by Z8 to paint and glass.
Wheels got ZAIO.
Tires got Z-16.
Tips got blue magic metal polish.

Polishing comments:
I tried M205 w/ Green CCS at speed 6 on the PC as a one step polish, it did pretty well on the soft clear, but would not get out 100% of the RIDS.

Car was an exterior detail, but I still gave the car a quick vac and cleaned all the inside glass.

Thanks Al! If everything works out, I will have 2 more corrections next week and a few to clean up for a carshow. So far I have an open week after that, which will be nice.

Those are my favorite wheels for the 997....they are pretty easy to clean.

That car looks GREAT!!!
