Guards Red C4S

Had the pleasure of detailing this nice Porsche yesterday. It had some minor marring/halo scratches which was handled with my rotary an Optimum green pad and Optimum Compound.

I next used a blue and white Optimum pad with OCP and my rotary. Finished it with OCW.

Tire Gel on tires and wheel wells and some Trime Shine for the exterior trim. Steamed the engine area and then polished and waxed all painted areas. I then cleaned and polished the metal pieces and dressed it.

I only have a few AFTER pics as I was running late for my next appointment.

Enjoy,
Anthony

I like it, but I don't like how the paint has a hazy look. More than likely the paint.

No, I think it's the angle of the shot. He wants me to wash it up this weekend maybe so I'll try and get some better pictures.

THanks,
Anthony

I hate you. The smallest vehicle I had today was a Cadillac DTS and tomorrow it will be a Mercedes S420. Just call me Mr. SUV, I guess.

Looks outstanding as always, even in those harsh sun shots.

What's odd is there was no haze when I pulled it out to take the pics. I didn't have time to really pose the car I just drove it out, snapped a few pics then threw the keys to the service manager and was out on the road...I didn't even write the guy an invoice!!

I'll give a more thorough look over when I wash it, maybe Saturday and see what's up. Maybe some polish or wax smeared and I just didn't see it??

Oh well...now I'm going to lose even more sleep!!
