2000 Red BoxsterS

I'm just going to mainly post up pictures here....it was a marred up Boxster and they drive it alot with the top down. Lots of dust and grime all of the cockpit area.





I attacked the interior with my steamer, extractor and air compressor.

Paint had alot of marring. It was very dirty when I saw it so the dirt hid alot of the marring.

The turn around in paint correction came from a 4 step polishing process. The first two cutting steps were with a black lambswool pad and a green pad. Both steps using Hyper at 1500 rpm's.



Then came an LC white pad with OPC and a blue finishing pad with OCP.



Final step was PoliSeal applied via Cyclo.





AFTER pics to follow -
 
I got this car started late yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful bright and sunny day. I finished it this afternoon but it rained all day.



I was hoping for some really nice sun shots but the sun and clouds wouldn't work with me :mad:



So here si the best I could do. I took these shots real quick while there was a lull in the rain.

Anthony,



What a great turn-around!!! :woohoo:



I bet the owner was happy to see the finished product! :heelclick



Keep up the sweet work!



Cheers,
 
I'm waiting for the reply.



Nice!

So did these people door ding every car they parked next to?

The drivers door edge looks chewed up.
 
Nice work there big guy!!:xyxthumbs



Lots of hard work and quite a bit of cutting the finish down to remove the defects. I hope in the future they take better care of it.



Now, if only more RENNLIST members could do the same in keeping their cars in good shape!



Never used the OCP, but keep hearing/seeing how well it works. May have to pick up some and test it. How is OCP with black Porsche paint? Any precautions? Or is it that good to use on this softer paint?



Once again, great job!!:bigups



Regards,

Deanski

What a transformation! The interior looks brand new!



BTW - What is OCP? Optimum product, I'm assuming?

Here ya go: Optimum Polish



OR:



Optimum Polish is the most versatile, effective, and easy to use polish you will ever use! It can be used as a light compound, swirl mark remover, or a finishing polish, depending on your choice of buffing pad and speed of the buffer. It works quickly to remove (not hide) swirl marks, scratches, and other blemishes, while creating a perfect shine on all types of paint. It can be used with any type of buffing pad or buffing machine. Optimum Polish has excellent workability on painted surfaces and will not clog buffing pads. Aggressive enough for paint correction and swirl removal, yet the shine, clarity, and gloss of the paint left behind requires only final protection.



Directions:



When using a wool buffing pad, Optimum Polish will remove 1500 sand scratches and lighter at 1000-1400 RPM. Faster buffer speed is not needed with this product. When using a light cut foam pad at 1000-1400 RPM the polish will remove 2000 and lighter sand scratches on most paint surfaces. A final finishing foam pad will remove swirl marks at 1000-1400 RPM.



Always use enough product to create a barrier between the buffing pad and the paint surface. Wipe off residue by misting Optimum Car Wax on it and wiping it with a microfiber towel for a steak-free perfect finish. Can be used by hand or with an orbital or high-speed buffer. This product contains no silicone or wax. Both Optimum Polish and Optimum Car Wax meet all VOC regulations and are body shop safe.

Anthony, seeing a detail from you is like getting a late Christmas gift.



You should re-name your company 'Benchmark Details', because you consistently churn out stunning work.



Thanks for sharing and have a great New Year.:2thumbs:

Yo dude... yea the car is pretty tore up with door chips and front end chips. I think they moved down from Austin recently or they drive up there alot.



They had a few dings in the front fenders. I'll tell them that you can get them out.

Hey Dean, thanks for the :2thumbs:



The OP is very black friendly. The new PoliSeal is perhaps more along the lines of FPII but with super slick protection left behind.



I do a ton of Porsche's and all I use is Optimum. It cuts well and polishes out well, very little to clean up and very cost effective.



Thanks again people,

Anthony

You're welcome and Thank You! I'm always looking for a polish to replace some of my Menzerna that is now in short supply after several cases of P085RD.



I'll have to order one bottle to try out and match pads for best results. I wonder... if you mist it with a bit more distilled water how much longer it will polish/cut and work depending on pad. I do this to really work-out P085RD when I switch to a softer pad for final "burnishing" to a very high gloss. When I had the crew at the dealership prep my car,I showed them this little trick and boy, that black just was insane. In fact my avatar was shot in one shop after I did one polish with the P085RD and wet it down.



As for Porsche leathers, I found that the Sonus is as close to reviving the smell of the leather. It seems to react with the tanning oils and revive them to gain that unique Porsche leather smell. Z-10 as good as it is, is a bit too overpowering for Porsche. The Sonus doesn't add fragrance, just lets the natural tanning oils to release the smell. Very cool!



The interior you did on that Boxter was next to perfect! That was one big mess at the start, but now... it's good as new. Carpet work in these cars can be a real challenge. You nailed that one dude!!! :2thumbs:



Happy New Year Anthony!

Dean,



There is no need to wet the Optimum as it will work twice....sometimes 3 times as long as other polishes. You will get tired before you are able to "dust off" the polish. Same goes with the PoliSeal.



I suggest you get a 32oz of Polish and also a 32oz PoliSeal. I'm sure you'll love the results. Use the PS first and see what you think. If you need a bit more bite than try the Polish and then the PS.



I know you like Zaino but it wouldn't hurt to try it. :)
