Fresh Detail: Adam`s Porsche Tracked Carrera

[Woob]

Fortunate to be referred by my friend to this Porsche owner. One sweet ride, it`s tracked and has some very nice mods, such as cage, belts, and fire extinguisher :D. The weather was a killer, pulled up and it was drizzling, then turned to crazy hot, then cloudy. I`ve concluded that I have a 60% chance of precipitation.

On to the car: Vehicle is Steel Grey and lots of rock chips, which took the look away. Some minor bugs and dirt, but pretty good condition. It needed just a good reviving. I had a chance to use a version of the ultimate nozzle and love it.

Wash: Mother`s Gold
Spot Claying: Blue Clay Magic
Glaze: Adam`s Brilliance
Wax: Adam`s Butter Wax

DS on doorjams/windows. PB APC / Woolite in Interior. Polished wheels/tailpipes with Adam`s #1/#2 Polishes.

Took some okay pictures with my friend`s D30. Sad note was I somehow left my S5i camera get into a pool of water. :angry Enjoy and please give inputs!

thing just glows. nice job.

i wish i could have a car like that.

[G35stilez]

Glowing is right!


Kudos on a job well done :).

[Mr. Clean]

Super sharp car :bigups I would love to have one myself or at least a customer with one. :D

I`m curious about your use of BSG. How did you apply it? Have you used it for a while? What is your overall (ease of use / visual results vs time and effort expended, etc.) opinion of the product? Is it strictly a glaze, or does it have some cleaning properties? TIA

[GregCavi]

Nice Job! Glowing is the correct term. Was the orange peel minimal?

Mr. Clean - I put BSG in a 2 ounce sprayer and just sprayed twice or three times unto the panel. Its a spray glaze that flashes fast and is extremely easy to apply. As long as you even the coat out, you will get a deep and wet appearance. I used it with a Blue Edge, so yes it definitely had cleaning properties.

Greg - Yes, sadly there was orange peel. Not an extraordinary amount, but enough to be noticeable along with the rock chips.

Thanks for the comments all. Pictures aren`t the greatest.

[JaredPointer]

Looks good Woob. I am glad you get good results with the BSG - I can`t get it to work for me. I will try your method, and if that doesn`t work..... I give up!! :)

[jaybs02]

Nice work, has a really nice glow to it :bigups

That really looks great. The paint looks alive. As everyone else said, it glows.

[mgm2003]

Very impressive, especially on that color! How long did it take?

[Woob]

Jared - How are you applying it now? It could be you have too much or its too watery going over the panel

mgm - 4.5 Hours?

The paint looks glowing by the pictures, but its very wet looking.

I have tried applying it by the directions to a tee, then after a short talk with Nick, misting the applicator pad with Detail Spray. That seemed to help a little bit. It`s still finicky though. I am using an Adam`s MF app. The only thing it`s ever had on it was BSG. I keep it well shaken during use.

[Boss_429]

Nice job and beautiful car! :bigups :bigups

[Woob]

Hmmm, maybe your applying too much? This product is suppose to flash ridiculously fast. What I suggest is spray a small amount of the hand app, bend the app to make the product go over every surface, then go to work. Or you could just spray the BSG on the panel and wipe. PC makes it very easy. Hope it works out for you!

[JaredPointer]

Thanks for your suggestions Woob. It`s not so much that the product doesn`t flas as quick as it`s supposed to (which it isn`t too fast - maybe I have a bad batch :dunno), it`s just a bear to remove on one panel, then on another it comes off easily. This is usually after a SSR polish job. Oh well, I will give it one more try. :)
