1990 Porsche Carrera 4 Exterior Detail
- Thread starter TazmanSS
- Start date
Depends on what you already have on the paint as to how well DAWN will work for you. Dawn will not remove Zaino for instance, but will likely remove most if not all carnauba wax. So, you could do the Dawn just for good measure, but the OmegaGlaze will probably remove everything anyway....

Recently completed detail @ my shop, this vehicle came to me thru one of the guys who work @ Premier(Greg) as he is a family friend. Pretty well cared for Porsche for it's age and had a paint to match color according to the client(90's Corvette hue).
When the client brought the car for a estimate he thought there was not much I could do to improve the finish............... he knows different as of today(lol).
Here I am prepping the areas to be wrapped by Premier.
Finish corrected and finished down with no LSP for the best result in the film install.
Over @ Premier for them to "Do what they do".....
Back @ my shop after the film install,after a good wash/clay procedure here is the beginning of the paint correction stage, also few water spots to take care of.
50/50's of the engine cover.
Reverse angle.
Rear bumper.
Entire bumper corrected.
Drivers rear quarter before.
After.
This finish was a re-spray, as the client told me the car was damaged as new and PNA re-painted it when they were located in Reno NV. Very nice paint but a few issues I cleared up such as shrink and wetsanding scratches/tracers in a few spots like here under the drivers door handle.
After correction.
Part of this job was to correct and restore the trim which was "Dryness" after 21 years.....
Mirrors were the worst.
After a lot of tedious cleaning....before dressing was applied.
Dressing applied for a satin non-greasy finish.

Nearing completion.
Time for a few sun pics.
Trim looking good in the sun.
"Client" making sure everything was up to standard.......and shocked his Porsche looked this good again.

I agree with all that. It is a sharp looking ride especially for a 1990!

That right there is why P-cars will always be classics. Timeless lines, refinements instead of redesigns. Beautiful color too. Awesome work Bob.:clap:

You did it again Bob.:notworthy:
Beautiful job on a classic beauty. If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to restore the plastic trim? The results are awesome.
