As the title states this "Brand new Porsche" started out it's life a little on the rough side...............



Contacted by a longtime client who lives up in Napa Valley(Calming peaceful area that I enjoy going too for any reason) who purchased a new Cayenne S as a daily driver & tow vehicle for his Boxter track vehicle, with 2,500 miles or so on the odometer how bad can things be.................well the vehicle is Jet Black and his car was re-painted along with a building some hack industrial painters were working on nearby.



Vehicle at the onset of the job.

Besides the wheels being gloss black and dirty, they would also have overspray all over them requiring claying on every spoke and polishing as well..........a ltlle time was invested on this task(Understatement).

"The carpets" were also pretty dirty......

First pic of the overspray.

Deep scratches.............due to thiness on the bumper from dealership wet sanding and attempted correction I was able to get about 80% correction(72 microns or so in this area).

A few interior pics, the interior was "As new" but have to say I have done a few of the Cayennes lately(2012 models) and the fit and finishe is much improved!.

There would be no "Sun pics" as I finished the car on the second day late into the evening and the client was leaving early in the morning, also had to do a maintenance detail on his Turbo.

Aforementioned Turbo the next day.

Totals were just under 24 hours on the Cayenne which made for two long days but "Tightness" was achieved.
 
Man, what a mess! I hope the "hack industrial painters" were the ones footing the bill for that!



As usual, Bob, top-notch results and "certified tightness" indeed.
 
Beautiful work Bob. A couple questions:



Is the paint on the new Cayennes as rock hard as the older models?



What did you use on the tires?



Thanks!
 
Man I would love to get a set of those seats for my 2012 Touareg. They share platforms and a few exterior stampings with the Cayenne. I wonder...

Hood reflection is amazing! Great work Bob, that looked like a rough 24 hours!





It was......................garage was "Hotness" ..........mobile sucks..............but is financially rewarding as I am "Time spent" on mobile jobs ............period.
 
I just picked up a 2008 c4s and the dealer repaiered a scratch on my black oem porsche wheels and they got some overspray on them. Since i am guessing you dont travel to nj can you offer me some advice on cleaning off the overspray?
