Looks amazing! Amazing car! Was better shape than some of the Porsches you have posted, but still rough.

Thank you!!! Yes, not crazy terrible, but not good either, especially for a special car/low mileage example.

You saved another black car. Great job. They`ll bring it back to you for another freshening up, hopefully with less damage.

Well, I think I know who the "collector" of this black GT2 Porsche "Beast" is: Darth Vadar!
All kidding aside, I assume you have done other vehicles, what ever make and model, for this collector before, hence, his scheduling of this Porsche being detailed by you.

And, thanks for the pic of the exhaust chromed tips! Just for me? Gosh, I feel privileged.
Two question:
1) Can the bluing on the inside of the radiused edge "ring" be removed or is it so ingrained in the chrome that-it-is-what-it-is?
2) Why did you use Megs 110/210 compound/polish twins rather than you "usual" Griot`s Garage Fast Correcting Cream (compound)/Perfecting Cream (polish) combo on this beast?

Nice work in this black beast. Looks better than great.

Oh yes, the "red" that I see reflected in the driver`s side doors and rear wheel quarter panel front of the fully detailed vehicle pics in your driveway is your shirt! It just took a second look to figure that out! (NO, I will not ask about who the shirt maker/brand is or why you are wearing red that day. REALLY, Captain Obvious?!..And, yes, it is "different" than the dark blue-grey shirt that you were wearing in the garage;unless it was a reversible shirt?!?... Never mind!)

2) Why did you use Megs 110/210 compound/polish twins rather than you "usual" Griot`s Garage Fast Correcting Cream (compound)/Perfecting Cream (polish) combo on this beast? My usual combo streaked, was sticky/hard to remove and wasn`t finishing down as I wished. I tried a few combos and found that the Megs twins worked/provided what I was striving for.

Nice work in this black beast. Looks better than great. Appreciate that!

Great job as always. Got a ride in one of these years ago. The owner was drag racing a supercharged viper. Said the tires didn’t stick, but I could definitely smell the clutch. Yikes.

How did you like the 110/210 combo vs the Griots Twins?

^^On this vehicle, I liked it a lot, worked much `better` for me than my normal twins!
