This is a new client who has several vehicles and wanted to start with his GT3. It’s a great spec on this corner carver!
The paint was in very good shape with only some minor swirls, holograms and marring.



The ‘details’:

Washed with Adam’s shampoo.
McKee’s37 Iron Remover.
Griot’s medium clay mitt.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Misc. tire/wheel brushes.
Wheels/calipers sealed with McKee’s37 Hydroblue.
DeFelsko PTG.
Scangrip lighting.
Rupes MkII 21.
Beta test ‘mini/nano’ polisher.
Misc. foam pads.
Griot’s correcting cream.
Misc. MF towels.
Optimum Paint prep for final wipe down.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte, LSP.
Auto Finesse glass cleaner.
Metro vacuum.
McKee’s37 Hi Gloss tire dressing.
Adam’s interior detailer.


I think that’s everything! Thanks for looking!






















No more holograms!

Sizzle Chest:
Did you do a wheels-off detail on particular Porsche?
I know from talking (if you call typing in a forum "talking") with you on the Yellow Porsche Caymen GTS about ceramic brake discs and rims with locking center hub nuts require special removal tools for the nut and special care for the ceramic brake discs. I can see that the rim on this particular GT3 has a special Porsche locking hub nut, which I assume, requires a special Porsche tool and an impact wrench (or a very long torque bar!) to remove it. Does this car also have ceramic brake discs?
I find hard to believe that Porsche would still offer a REAL manual transmission in such a performance car, as most manufacturers ONLY offer the dual-clutch automatics, including Porsche with their own PDK-version. Some owners are still "driving purists" and Porsche should be commended for catering to them.
 
Thanks all!


Lonnie: I usually only do wheels off jobs. Depends on what the client is looking for/etc.

Yes, this Porsche had center lock wheels and ceramic brake rotors.

Yes, you need special tools to remove them and I have them...the breaker bar to remove/install/torque the wheels is almost 5 feet long! It`s nuts! You also need wheel centering hubs/etc in order to not hit or nick (and run the risk of breaking or shattering) the rotors.


And believe it or not, this year`s GT3 was offered in a manual transmission! Yay!

Is that what this `thing` is?

Yep, that`s what it is. Yeah, I`ve got a little bit invested into the setup, but I am the only one around, besides the dealers, that have them!
 
Another corollary to the adage "the best cars in the world get detailed by the best detailers in the world";
They have the tools (literally) to do so!!
