Finally got my hands on a 4.0 and it really is an awesome car, minus some factory defects of course.

White wheels set the car off very well, cleaned up with gentle wheel cleaner and water no need for Sonax on this car with the PCCBs

Washed with citrus wash after an OPC pre-soak to remove dealer applied wax

Rear bumper area had more severe defects, sand scratches and pigtailing mostly. While these days I always choose a DA for correction on sticky Porsche paint it was doing next to nothing for removing the deeper defects. Out with the metabo rotary and a detailersdomain yellow cutting pad. Cranked up to about 2100rpm to yield good correction...

Finishing stage carried out with the Meguairs finishing disc and 106fa, I initially did not like this pad but on certain paints it does work well... I'll give you a hint soft black is not of them :shakehead:

I'm not sure what I admire more, the high quality work you do or the insanely awesome cars you get to work on. Actually I do, its both. :bow
 
Someday I have to see this neighborhood you live in to support this steady stream of super cars.

Nice work as always Dave. I will know the world s ending when I see you post a job you have hacked. I'm pretty sure the world will end some day, but not sure you will hack a job.

:yourrock
 
Porsches are slowly growing on me. This one looks killer, great job Dave!

I grew up a Lamborghini lover... Porsche never appealed to me at all, nothing about the cars themselves or the brand seemed cool.

... and Then I drove one! It was a 996 Turbo and suddenly the who Porsche philosophy made perfect sense. Rear engined car, small displacement. lightweight, a proper drivers car. Then driving a GT3 changed my like for Porsche into love :rockon

Today there is not a single brand that I revere more than Porsche and truthfully of any car in that garage (including a 599 GTO) I would take this 4.0 any day:bigups
 
Dave,
It's been a while, but I see what I have been missing. As usual, you took it beyond any expectations and made a white car really stand out.
 
I grew up a Lamborghini lover... Porsche never appealed to me at all, nothing about the cars themselves or the brand seemed cool.

Expensive cars never seemed cool to me, but I can appreciate a Porsche for the reasons you listed. They were made to go fast, and do it well!
 
Great work Dave, looks amazing!

I can also relate to your story, I grew up a Ferrari lover and my first drive in a Porsche changed that completely.
