OK Sizzle, you get my ubiquitous Captain Obvious questions
1) Do you ever use actual clay bars to remove contaminates?
2a) Who makes the "medium" clay towel you are using?
2b) I do see from time-to-to-time you have to "rewipe" with the clay towel to remove heavy or numerous contaminants,
which goes back to question one about a clay bar being better or more efficient (IE, faster).
Just curious......

Nice detailing on this Boxster S. It is a very nice shade/hue of dark blue.
Glad to see Porsche painted their vehicles to some degree of detailing-friendly paint thickness.
Actually this being a 20-year-old car that I assume is driven on a regular basis in Florida, it is not that bad.
But that is difficult to assess accurately, since I am unaware of the actual mileage on it or which part of the USA it was driven in and resided by the previous owner.
I also assume that this particular Boxster has not been detailed by you prior to this thorough detail.

And what are those "Martini" sticker-like reflections in the window from??
Any reason there are "few" pics of the interior, other than a black interior does not photograph well or it is non-descript??

Here we go Lonnie!!

Yes, I do use clay bars. I do, however, preferer the clay alternatives, given that they are 'faster' at times.

I don't remember, I have Griots, Adams, and other brands.

Yep, this one needed some vigorous 'claying' as it was full of contaminants.

I believe both have their advantages: I've dropped numerous clay bars and have had to pitch them, this never happens with an alternative!

Thank you! The color is a very nice one.

Paint 'thickness' was not bad on this. It is almost a daily driver, it gets used frequently. Mileage was good for it's age, I believe around 60K miles!

I have not touched this before...nor has anyone else judging by my initial impressions of it. LOL

Interior was gray leather/carpet and really didn't warrant any photos. It got some cleaning and conditioning/vacuuming/etc.

Thanks again Captain Obvious!
