Not a neglected car, but obviously no stranger to the automatic carwash. This 2000 Carrera needed a good buff to remove 5 years of wash swirls. A thorough buff with Meg`s SFP (Edge Blue Foam) at 1500 RPM`s took car of the swirls, and a final pass with #9 (Edge white foam) seamed to really finesse the finish back for a coat of UPP, and an EZ Paste topper.
The Carrera emblem on the back had to be removed with a heat gun a scraper and some New Car Solvent to remove the residual adhesive.
SFP is aggressive enough to remove most wash swirls, but it must be worked thoroughly to adquately buffer the abrasives. Failure to work this product long enough will leave behind buffer swirls that will be evident once in direct sunlight.
The paint was a very dark metalic blue, and although I do not know the name of the color, it would definitely be a top choice of mine if in the market for a Porsche !!! :cool:
Did the owner ask for a replacement badge or just removal. What would you have done if they`re was any location holes behind the badge?
O BTW brilliant detail, the colour is lovely.

Great car, wonderful detail work....especially if it was as cold as it looks:shocked
The color is, I believe, Lapis Blue Metallic.

Take care,

JJ_ ... The owner is selling the car, and is very familiar with Porsches. I have detailed many for him in the past. He is replacing the badge.
SilverLexus... I did not get the chance to take her out, but may take her out later this week. :up
1 Clean WS6... I cannot wait to fully detail the "L". She needs it !!! BTW... I love the pics of yours in the Zaino thread. What do you think of www.superchips.com
:confused:
Anthony... "The king of all Porsche details". Thanks I look forward to trying out that sample and posting the results !!! :xyxthumbs
