800 hp porsche 996 turbo

Here is another brutal job, messed up by "detailers" while out recovering from my knee surgery. 28 hour correction with wool pad compounding and the usual steps to finish with a special emphasis on using the Flex da polisher with CG extreme acrylic glaze.


WASH: P&S citrus wash soap
CLAY: GI clay
WHEELS: GI wheel gel cleaner
TIRES: GI signature tire dressing
TRIM: GI TRV

LSP: GI signature sealant/ followed w concorso

Excellent work on a cool car.

I always like it when people take the pepsi challenge and post sun pics on black cars. Good job.

Wow, excellent work, beautiful car.



But did you really have to add the little photoshop star/sparkle effect into every picture?

I dont think your work needed that

Excellent job.

There's no Photoshop in there; my crappy Samsung camera can capture those "sparkles", as well... that's also attributed to a perfect finish.

Re: 800 hp porsche 996 turbo

Photoshop..... if you knew me you would know how funny that is, I just learned how to post with photos only a few months ago(lmao) as for the lens does a Sony cybershot point and shoot have a another lens I was supposed to get with the camera???(giggle).

Bryan, on this write up I was under a huge time crunch to complete this car as I had not alloted 28 hrs to complete it and worked the majority of those "28" like almost half in the first day(and a big part of the night lol) so I did not chronicle all the steps and take lot's of pics. Today's job (ferrari 599) I am going for a more complete detailed pictorial as this car is one of my favourites!! along with all front engine V12 Ferrari's.
