05' Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet

First off, this is one of my favorite cars of all time. I am constantly around exotic cars and nothing really excites me any more, but there's something about a Porsche that I love. That something is the 444hp and incredible handling unlike any other car I have driven before (and I've driven everything). I never cared for Porsche's that much until I drove one. I think there are far better looking cars out there, but looks only go so far. Anyways, this car is being shipped to Florida to another dealer in an enclosed trailer, so I gave it a good detail before it left.

The condition was good besides a few light scratches and the fact that whoever owned the car before waxed EVERYTHING, including all the plastic trim which was a PITA to remove. I spent about an hour removing wax from all the nooks and crannies including the trim. The pictures don't do the car justice due to the overcast day.

My process::

Washed complete exterior & cleaned engine compartment

Removed all caked in wax from nooks & crannies and plastic trim (used a toothbrush style hoarse-hair brush with tar remover for the plastic trim)

Removes tar from bottom panels with tar remover

Polished with OP using a finishing pad @1400 rpm

Werkstatt's Prime by hand

Werkstatt's AJ

Topped with OCW

Super Blue dressing on tires & wheel wells
