Black Porsches

First up, a brand spankin new 2007 Turbo

Porsche called and asked me to prep it for it's new owner. It was actually marred up pretty bad and had alot of hard water spots in the engine area so I spent Saturday doing most of the work and finished off a few things today.

I was told not to go all out, just get it "nice". So my first step was with the Cyclo, white pads and OCP. I then switched to blue LC Cyclo pads and again OCP.

The hard water spots were treated and removed with Optimums new hard water spot cleaner.....made easy work of them. I then washed the car down once more with No Rinse and waxed with a new version of OCW.

I have no BEFORE shots but here are 3 AFTER pics before it went into hiding until its new owner came for it.

I'm not sure about the new wheel style......it's nice but I'm not sure just how nice.

Next we have an 06 Carrera S and this one had a bit more marring, also some long, deep random scratches. I buffed this paint with the combo of my Metabo and my Dewalt, 4 different pads and OCP.

This is how the paint looked pretty much all over.

First I used a green cutting pad, OCP and ran at 1400 rpm's. I then switched to a blue polishing pad, 1200 rpm's. I did not remove the OCP after the pad changes but left it on through out the buffing process. Next came a black finishing pad, rotary at 1000 rpm's. Final rotary step was with a white ultra fine finishing pad, 1000 rpm's and again OCP.

I sealed this paint also with OCW.

Here are some AFTERs....I have done ALOT of P-cars lately and will have more pics to post up in the coming days.

Thanks,
Anthony

I love the new 997 Tubro. I love the wheels but it may be harder to clean.

Great work. I think it is time to take my cyclo out of storage.

Very nice work, Anthony

Great work.

I like those new wheels, they're different.

Seriously, do you know in your experience how a $130K+ Brand New Porsche Turbo built just a few weeks ago would get marred and spotted?

Plz don't tell me its that detailer at the Porsche dealership using that red towel to wash and dry the turbo.

Can you tell us more about this new version of OCW?

InfamousDX · 06-26-06, 05:54

OMG those are wet.

Hey thanks guys

Actually the Turbo was delivered that way, most likely came from port in that condition. It also had a buffer burn on the rear deck lid edge

The dealer detail guys were told not to touch the car.

As for the new OCW....it's the same BUT this new beta version doesn't have to be mixed..or shaken, although I still found myself shaking it

It's just something David mixed up as a "what if" type of deal. Not sure if it's going to go into production or not. I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Thanks again!
Anthony

Love the hood shot of the Carrera.

They are better than showroom new! Guess that's why the dealer called you!

awesome work.. at those high speeds and pads, how did you manage avoiding or did you get hologramming ?

Nice Work!

Yea, even my C2S when it arived from port was a bit marred from travel. Lucy for me the prep area at our dealer has a very talented detailer. Prior to the car arriving from port, I dropped off a new 32oz bottle of Menzerna P085RD for any polishing.

They did an outstanding job!

With Armorglove on it now since delivery has been a very big paint saver. The other day, as I moved the car, I forgot the damn curb by the garage protecting the downspout and hit it with the front of the Aerokit airdam.

Then, as I backed into the garage, I hear this scraping noise

I get out and.... OH CRAP! the passenger side lower half of the Aero got ripped out of the airdam. OMFG!

Now what? I looked at it and was so pissed. I find that I could snap it back in the airdam.. good... but the thing look nasty. Oh yea, I have Armorglov on it.. Peel the film off and WOW

it took the majority of the damage. Now, it's not bad!.... But I DID order the GT3 part as it's a matte black. My part comes primed only to replace the Aero lower lip and has to be shot. Another $200 for a lower lip? Na.. I'll pass. I'll keep the GT3 one!

Funny the Turbo you did was black. Our dealer has a black one as well that I was wondering who got it. Not bad condition this time. Not too fond of the wheels or the front.

Anthony, once again, nice work and you can do my C2S anytime too!
