    I recently finished this 1986 Porsche 930. The paint was fill with swirls and RIDS. The black single stage paint was a bit tricky to work with. The curvy body lines and small tight areas did not help either. It turned out to be a 3 step process. I started with #105 on a microfiber cutting pad then to optimum hyper polish on a finishing microfiber pad finally Sonax nano polish of a black foam pad. The wheels where removed for cleaning and to repaint calipers. Wheels and intercooler polished with Meguiar’s medium and fine cut metal polish. All trim cleaned with Optimum Power Clean and treated with Car Pro PERL. Tires dressed with Optimum Opti-bond. Along with interior and engine compartment detailed everything took me around 40 to 45 hours to complete.

























    After around 45 hours

















































    Thanks for looking

    thank you everyone. Could not remove 100% of all the RIDS but you have to look a lot harder to find them. Most of that was done by Meg 3 inch wool pads. Forgot to say that.

    Incredible transformation. Looks more repaint restoration than a detail. Awesome job!
