I was contacted by this owner looking to properly polish and protect his brand new 2014 Porsche Cayman S. This owner actually had the opportunity to experience European delivery where he picked up the Cayman at the factory in Stuttgart. Which is a very awesome experience. Anyways, onto the detail,
`
<span>Main Points:
-Light swirl/defect removal

`
Vehicle was then rinsed and given a soak in Iron X to remove all bonded contaminants and Iron from the surface prior to polishing and coating. This step is paramount in any coating application.

Looks great!! Would live to take this car around the block. How long did it take you to apply a single coat of CQ to it?
