Recently completed, this beautiful Cayenne Turbo was purchased for a new clients wife as a daily driver(You could do alot worse.....imo) and speced the car nicely. Originally the client came in for a estimate but due to a booked schedule I did the car after a "Skakedown cruise" to the southwest so the vehicle came back nice and dirty.





Vehicle before wash/decon steps carried out, would clean out "Some Grand Canyon dirt".

Removing Arizona dirt from the carpeted wheel wells and cleaning the wheels.

After the vehicle was brought into the shop I performed the claying step, and found very little fallout except on the rear of the vehicle. Pre cleanup of the interior.

There was some "Jean transfer" on the bolster of the seats.

All in all the vehicle was in good shape, as many "New cars" are damaged badly and this vehicle has started out on the right foot as the owner asked many questions on how to keep the vehicle in "As new " condition where only maintenance details are required as opposed to major paint correction details that are costly and totally not needed if maintenance is carried out in a timely manner.
 
I can't get ahead. I finish a Jet Black 2012 Cayenne S, Bob's doing 2012 Cayenne Turbos.



Oh well, here in Michigan we have to "ball on a budget" so forced induction isn't always our thing ;)



Car turned out exactly as what it was expected to look like. I always love the small things you include, like pics of the underside of the rockers. Impeccable.

Thats what I tell all my clients...its easier to maintain than it is to fix, and its usually cheaper, and you are contantly driving around in a newish car...whats the down side????????? LOL

The client who this car belongs to Eric is really involved and "Hands on" with the maintenance, as he asked for tips and products to keep it nice between visits to me. Also thanks to EVERYONE for the comments left as the write up was not a major correction job but assumed some folks still like to see a beautiful Porsche(Even though it is a SUV)................ but it is a big land missile.



Marc I did a "MOMobile" GL-450 this week so trying to match you SUV for SUV lol, try to stay warm there in Detroit.
