Porsche Carrera...

**Nick Chapman** · 03-28-2009, 07:01 AM

This customer has been iffy on having me polish his Porsche for quite some time. He originally came to me almost a year ago asking about it. He had been fed alot of horror stories from people that he knew, that used hack detailers and received shady jobs, and was scared to leave his baby in anyone`s hands. Through several meetings, and him spending time with me while I was polishing other customer vehicles, he felt comfortable and finally decided to let me have my way with it, although he about popped his pants when I broke out the sandpaper

Here are the results. I have about 20 hours in the paint alone. A lot of wet sandning with 2000 grit, then 3000 grit by hand. Initial cut was M105 rotary with a foam cutting pad. Then M105 rotary with a polishing pad, then 2 passes of M205 on the rotary with a finishing pad. Topped off with M26.

Enjoy...

With this car, I used M105 and M205 topped with M26. These are all Meguiar`s products. But I am also a Menzerna user, along with other products.

Thank you sir, I`m still getting used to all the settings on this camera. Big jump from all my previous "point and shoot" type cameras. Lately I`ve just decided to shoot everything in RAW mode, and get all the settings right afterward when I can actually see the picture in something larger than a 2.5" LCD screen

Excellent work Nick!

Porsche paint really polishes out nice, but your work had a lot to due with these results.

Stunning work and great correction.

I haven`t seen M26 being mentioned outside of MOL for a while

M26 is one of my fav`s! Love that stuff

Although, I am starting to play with other manufactures different waxes right now.

Awesome finish Nick. Thanks for sharing your work.

I`m very partial to black probably because I own that color but when done like a mirror like that it`s always very impressive. I`m guessing you earned a new customer. He must`ve been very impressed.
