Porsche 993 Turbo correction and Opti-Guard - Immaculate Reflections

[white gecko]

This nice low mile 993 Turbo just finished getting some work done and the owner wanted to get as much correction as possible out of it. The paint was very soft and also thin (found a few strike-throughs by previous detailers), so much care was taken to preserve as much material as possible then apply Opti-Guard to add a couple microns back along with permanent protection.







Upon arrival....

The fenders unfortunately took the brunt of an inexperienced detailer sometime in its past....here is one of the strike-throughs.

Some of the fabric around the sunroof had been badly stained or rubbed off....likely by the same person who burned the fenders...

After compounding and polishing on the fender/door/rocker, final polishing still to be done

After compounding. A couple scratches were far too deep to remove fully.

More burn marks....all these were taped to ensure they would not be made worse.

[JohnKleven]

Nice work on a great car. One of the best Turbos that Porsche ever made.

[Ch96067]

Proper detailing was invented for situations like this. Great work bringing it back.

Thanks guys!



Yeah those wheels aren`t my favorite, especially to clean, but later my client lowered the car and it has a much better look now with those wheels.

[rexrock]

One of my customers has the exact car. Have your guy look a these wheels.
