1991 Guards Red Turbo w/OptiSeal

Anthony Orosco · 04-29-07, 10:00

Ron and I did 4 Porsches and one Ford GT this past Saturday, 2 of the Porsche's were full details. One of them being this 2001 Turbo.

Paint had some minor marring which was corrected with one product.

Paint correction: Optimum Polish
Pads used: LC white pad, orange and blue finishing

Rotary was used for correction and polishing at 1200 to 1400 rpms

Cyclo was used for finishing work.

Ron then hand applied Poli-Seal as we wanted to see if the Opti-Seal would streak as many people have claimed. We did have about 4 or 5 areas where it streaked which were easily removed with a light buffing with a MF towel. Ron applies the OptiSeal a bit thicker than I do but even so we had very little streaking. We also did not wait more than 5 minutes between applying the OptiSeal over the Poli-Seal.

I believe we have 2 coats of Opti-Seal on the finish. The weather was really overcast so we had no sun out

Thanks,
Anthony

Yep a 91....all original paint, very little front end chipping and a nice interior. This was a clients car who traded it in for a new Turbo, in Guards Red of course

I think it has around 25k for miles. It will be a nice buy for someone....cept it has no warranty now

No, the Porsche pictured is a 996 era body, yrs. 2001-2005 911 turbo.

Hey thanks guys...

and yes I am a total dweeb...it's an 2001 and NOT a 91!!!

That'll teach me not to post up when I'm nodding off at the keyboard

Beautiful work Anthony...no matter what year it is

Some love the 993, so your work will make it even more valuable. Nice.

WordOfMouth · 04-30-07, 08:02

That's a 996 version of the turbo. The 993 had more traditional stovepipe front fenders, and the 997 went back to that more traditional look. The 996 had the teardop headlights.

Now- the detail looks great. Very nice car, and you did it proud.
