After attending a Porsche Club meet and demo`ing a specific brand im associated with to all the members, I recieved a call from the owner of the car i was demo`ing on asking if i could finish the car off. From what i have been told from the owner there is only 14 of these in right hand drive and only 2 in Yellow which makes this car very rare. The owner didnt really want me to work on the wheels as he has replacements for them and didnt want me touching the roof at all.
How the car turned up:

So i initially rinsed the car, cleaned the alloys with Wheel cleaner and the arches/tyres/door shuts and engine bay with APC
Snowfoamed the car (the bonnet and front wings were used for the demo at the meet)

The car was rinsed, the washed with a shampoo, 2BM with a lambwool wash mitt
The rinsed, the car was detarred with a tar remover, rinsed again, then clayed with a claybar, then washed again. The car was dried using the Dryer and Waffle drying towels.
The owner did not want me putting down the roof, so a quick call and he was on his way to do it (good thing he is close by).
Whilst waiting i decided to start to the interior, specifically the leather seats. Using Leather Cleaner and a AG magic sponge (an awesome sponge i got from Paul @ Ultimate shine) I started to the seats nice 50/50 shot, top clean the bottom not

and cleaned the Exhaust with a Metal Polish and ultra fine steel wool
Once the roof was down, time to tape the car up and start the correction. I attempted to get pics of the swirls and defects, but struggled being outside and the camera just would not focus on it.
I opted for vaious polishes and pad but cannot name as considered as branding.
Once correction was finished the paintwork and alloys were cleansed with pre wax cleanser , removed then a wax applied to the paintwork, PTFE wax applied to the alloys, tyre dressing to the tyres, window cleaner to the windows, Detail sealent to any exterior trim, the full interior (being all leather) was cleaned with a Leather Cleaner using the Magic Sponge including round the dials. Interior was hoovered, Seat belts and door pulls were cleaned using interior shampoo.
The finished results:
