2023 Turbo Porsche

[Sizzle Chest]

2023 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
1,800 miles
Triple Black

Client wanted their 1800 mile example corrected and protected after a stint at a body shop for a minor rear bumper repair. Body shop shenanigans. Vehicle was covered in swirls, holograms, overspray, da sanding marks/pigtails, pretty much everything under the sun. Left in much better shape than upon arrival…


The ‘details’:

Adam’s wheel cleaner, tire/rubber cleaner/shampoo.
McKee’s37 iron remover.
Fine clay mitt.
DP ‘hydro blue’
Master Blaster to dry.
Scan grip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG’s.
HF Hercules FR machine.
LC pads.
Griot’s ‘twins’.
Optimum panel wipe.
Aquatek Singular coating.
Adam’s glass cleaner, interior detailer.
Metro vacuum.
Adam’s graphene tire dressing.

Thanks for looking!

Sizzle chest:
When you say "Body shop shenanigans", are you saying those are from the Porsche factor OR the dealership, or both
OR was this something else, like a body shop repair or detailing treatment?
Regardless, how such a "new" high-end vehicle left the factory or dealership in that condition is beyond me. But, like I have been saying forever in this forum; such fax pas have been giving professional detailers, like you, an opportunity to make a living fixing,correcting, and perfecting them.

Also, are the waterspots and what look like white "dots" indicative of a vehicle life in Florida with its ubiquitous landscape/lawn irrigation and watering? That water looks pretty "hard" with all the mineral deposits. Do they require a some type of water spot removal by you? Did not see any in your list of products used. OR do you just abrade (compound) them off? Was there any evidence of surface etching from such water spots in this particular vehicle`s clear coat?

Looks fantastic, Sizzle Chest, especially being black. Gotta say though, Darth Vader has got to be running out of garage "space" (pun intended!) for his vast black-painted vehicle collection. Glad he brings them to you (and Merlin when you are booked). Nice to see these newer Porsche 911`s close up from your pics!!!

AND on a completely different but somewhat related note, if you were to buy as a new or slightly pre-owned (AKA, newer) Porsche 911 for yourself, what color would YOU prefer?? I ask because almost every time you post a pic of a 911 you just detailed regardless of the color, I make the statement that that particular Porsche 911 looks like it BELONGS in front of your home in the driveway. But there has to be a color that to you personally prefer that just stands out and says, "I am Sizzle Chest`s 911 and here I am in front of my owner`s home".

My personal favorite: Gentian Blue Reference :2022 Carrera GTS
Or Guards Red: Reference: Porsche Carrera 4S

Happy New Year Lonnie!

It was at a body shop for a minor bumper repair.

There were indeed hard water spots. But not from sprinklers/rain. From being rinsed off, I assume, dust/etc, at the shop. Then left to dry. They were compounded/polished off.

Thanks for the comments/kind words!

Hmmm...so many colors I`d enjoy...I like your style with Gentian, love a good dark blue metallic. Also like Shark Blue. Speed yellow, lizard green perhaps? Difficult question my friend! LOL
