My Official Porsche Thread

I figured instead of doing seperate threads for each Porsche I would just continual add them to one thread (Is that OK to do? Mods?). So to start this off I will post up some pics of an 02 Polar Silver Turbo that a client just traded into from an E55.


First off the car has never had a proper cleaning. The wheel wells were horrible and had years of grime crusted up in there.

The Porsche guys allowed me to use a lift and then remove the wheels. I then set about soaking the wells with degreaser and blasted them with my steamer. My face looked like I went dirt bike riding after I was done

I then dressed them with Protectant Plus.

Here they are BEFORE.








Pretty dirty in there but after some scrubbing they came out pretty nice.











After the wheels were cleaned (had to remove cosmoline and tar) I waxed them with PolyLack and then placed them back on the Porsche.

While the Porsche was on the lift I wetsanded the front nose piece as it had been repainted and what a crap job it was. The paint was super dull on the nose, no gloss at all. So I wet saned with 3k paper and buffed it out with my rotary, green pad and OHC at 1400 rpm's.

The main body was clayed and buffed also with the green pad and OC and then Cycloed with white pads and OCP. Paint was sealed with OCW. Poorboys on the tires and Opt Pro+ on all trim.















Pics cont.

Now for the interior....Boxster Red Man this color will scream right out at you and always be right in your face! It was really shocking at first but after a few days of looking at it it kinda grew on me and now I think it's pretty cool. The interior just needed the leather cleaned and conditioned, carbom fiber waxed and mats cleaned. I also did the door jams and engine but the alternator needs to be replaced so I'll wait to give it a thorough cleaning when that's done.











Thanks,
Anthony

Damn the well shot alone is work 100 bucks. Unless you told the person he will probally never notice, but that is incredible work.

Car looks great, I really like the red interior.

I can't imagine someone driving a car like that and putting up with a crappy repaint.

Yes I sprayed them with degreaser, let it dwell several minutes them hit them with my steamer.....burned the crap out of my wrist also I then dressed them with Optimum Protectant Plus and a few shots from an aerosol trim shine in the boot areas.

Thanks again,
Anthony

Not sure if he will lower it, maybe some new wheels and rubber in the future though, but I do know that the clear markers are on their way

Thanks for the compliment,
Anthony

I have a Steamax steamer that I got about 2 years ago. It works great, 190 degrees at 65 psi, it pretty much emulsifies all things dirt
