[Sizzle Chest]

1984 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet
Signal Red
93XXX miles

Client brought in their Cabrio for some much needed sprucing up! They’ve owned it since new and drive it regularly. Faded dull paint, swirls, scratches, water marks/etching. Single stage paint. It was a massacre! LOL

The ‘details’:
Adam’s shampoo, tire/rubber/eco wheel cleaner.
Medium clay mitt.
DP hyrdo blue.
DeFelsko PTG.
Scangrip lighting.
Flex machinery.
Megs pads.
M110/210.
Optimum Panel wipe.
Adam’s graphene ceramic coating.
McKee’s37 graphene tire shine.
Adam’s glass cleaner.
Adam’s total interior cleaner.
Metro vacuum.

Thanks for looking!

Ooh, daddy like. Even though it’s a cabrio…

[Silly Rabbit]

Very cool little car. Great work on it too.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks all! The D--I agree about the cabrio...

Are those paint thickness reading abnormal or was Porsche paint that thick back in the 80`s?

^^^They were a `tad` high. LOL. This vehicle is an anomaly as it was a factory respray. And they sprayed it but good!

[mention]Sizzle Chest [/mention] Beautiful job. Love me a read Porsche!

A couple questions if you don’t mind, you seem to like flex polishers. What pads do you like best for correction and 1 steps with Cbeast?

Also do you find yourself using your Rupes Nano or your PXE more?

I do like Flex machines. I use LC force hybrid pads almost exclusively. I use the PXE more. And now they have great extensions and smaller backing plates for it.

The ubiquitous Captain Obvious questions:
1) What is meant by a "factory respray"? Done at the Porsche factory during its original manufacturing assembly?
2a) Is the "Signal Red" hue specific to single-stage paint used by Porsche during that manufacturing era?
2b) Is it a different shade/hue than the "Guardsman Red" Porsche paint associated with base coat-clear coat era?
3) Is the Adam`s Advanced Graphene Coating a customer-preference OR is it YOUR suggestion/preference for a coating over a single-stage paint rather than your usual 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte coating? Come to think of it, the Adam`s coating seems to be used on several of the vehicles you have detailed recently. Just curious....

Excellent detailing on this Signal Red Porsche. This is THE definition color-wise of an iconic Porsche 911 with a black convertible top in my opinion.
Just wondering what YOU think of Porsche`s of this era, IE the water-cooled engine and lack of electronic driver-assistance features. Some see it as a purist or the REAL Porsche 911; some see it as old-fashion, that-was-then-this-is-now is SO much better today.

AND, thanks for answering Coatings=Crack questions about your affinity for Flex polishers and which pads you prefer with them because they are the EXACT questions I have.

1) What is meant by a "factory respray"? Done at the Porsche factory during its original manufacturing assembly? Yes! With the paperwork to back it up!
2a) Is the "Signal Red" hue specific to single-stage paint used by Porsche during that manufacturing era?It is, Signal red, yellow, orange, green all factory colors from the 60`s on, on `modern` P cars it was PTS, Paint To Sample/optional.
2b) Is it a different shade/hue than the "Guardsman Red" Porsche paint associated with base coat-clear coat er Yes Guards Red is more `red` tomato than this color. This has a lot of orange/pink to it IMO
3) Is the Adam`s Advanced Graphene Coating a customer-preference OR is it YOUR suggestion/preference for a coating over a single-stage paint rather than your usual 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte coating? Come to think of it, the Adam`s coating seems to be used on several of the vehicles you have detailed recently. Just curious...I use a few different coatings. Some I like for different paint types/colors, and some for a different price point for my clients. I will be switching to one brand sometime in the near future when my stock of others is used up.

I like them all!!! The air cooled cars are much more analog. Raw. No creature comforts, but they drive and sound great! Funny, I figured you`d have the same questions about my machinery choices/etc!!
