Operation Daily Driver!

This is my client’s daily driver. He drives it every day rain or shine. He loves this car! It is in top mechanical condition, he is a local Porsche Technician, and performs all the work himself. He recently wanted some more power and added a supercharger kit to it, really boosting the HP/TQ! Car sits outside at his work in an industrial area and really gets hammered and really is not properly cared for. The car was corrected/protected over 3 years ago and needed to be redone. Paint was contaminated, full of defects, and the coating appeared to have failed/failing/at the end of it’s useful life. Vehicle is mostly single stage paint with a few panels resprayed in base/clear.

The ‘details’:

McKee’s37 iron remover.
Adam’s shampoo, tire/rubber cleaner, and eco wheel cleaner.
Medium clay mitt.
Master blaster and MF drying towel to dry.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG’s.
HF FR machine.
LC pads.
Griot’s FCC and Perfecting.
Optimum panel wipe.
Aquatek GT ceramic coating.
Topped with some Aquatek Bliss.
Adam’s Graphene tire dressing.
Exhaust tips cleaned with I forget metal polish.
Metro vacuum.
McKee’s37 70/30 leather lotion.
Adam’s glass cleaner.

Thanks for looking!

That looks great! Harsh starting point but other side of the coin is for a driven daily it isn`t that bad really... for the enjoyment owner is getting everyday.

Sizzle Chest:
As Setec noted, how DID you remove the scratch marks In the door handle recess cup??

As always, great detailing on "Moby Dick".
Looks really nice in front of your house.

Is the 993 the first of the water-cooled engines?
The big fan in the motor compartment seems to say "air cooled".

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks everyone!!!


Lonnie, 993 was the LAST of the air cooled! Up till 1998, then the 996 was the first of the water cooled cars. I like the Moby Dick name for that car!



I hand polished those out, single stage is great to work with!
