This car belongs to another fan on my facebook page. After owning this `05 997 Carrera S for about two years he decided to have it professionally taken care of. The GT silver paint had become dull and lifeless over the years, and had its share of swirls and scratches. The client settled on a one step correction to take care of the minor defects, and majorly pump up the shine! I also tended to the engine bay and interior, including a thorough and much needed leather service.
`
After a day and a half worth of work, the results are truly spectacular. The silver paint is WET looking, with reflection and miles of depth. This sexy 911 will be tucked away in the garage just in the nick of time, as we`re supposed to get hammered with snow here in the mid atlantic region tonight and tomorrow.

Moving on to the interior, the leather was oily and in bad need of a cleaning.

No during shots this time, as I was on a tight deadline to get this wrapped up last night. I tried my best on the outside shots, but the sun was nearly set so the lighting wasn`t the greatest.
