Amazing work! How someone let's a $115,000 car get into that shape is beyond my understanding. What a turn-around.



How many miles on the 996 Turbo?
 
I love watching these! Awesome Job! you go mobile out of a Toyota X-Runner correct? how do you like that truck, I was looking into getting one?
 
Looks great Bob! Photography has grown leaps and bounds, great capture of the swirls on pesky silver.



In your experience, when is it time to stop polishing 996 turbos in terms of depth? A client of mine is in the low-80s... and I told him already no more polishing. But I know you've worked on so many, maybe you have more of an idea of how low is safe.
 
Bob im going to stop reading your posts, because they just make me jealous every time, I worked on a caddy yesterday, you got to work on a porsche haha. All in good fun, nice work sir
 
Goodness Bob. I was expecting a nice turn around, but the key hole? The now perfect looking suspension? Another top-notch pro giving you a hand?

Another day of setting standards on the West coast...
