We're really getting behind in write-ups, so here we go!
You've seen her since the nice couple next door brought her home, and you've seen her over the years: more and more milers are on her but she always looks so beautiful. Now she's all grown up, but the downside of that is she's starting to show her age.
We took this beauty in for a face-lift. She's a beauty and is babied, but hasn't always recieved the care she deserves. Add in soft Porsche paint and you have a weathered look that takes away from the true beauty of such a great car.
With the client's arrivial, we got to work by properly looking over everything to see what we had in store.
The convertible soft top was looking quite grey and dull, but luckily we already discussed proper care of it with the owner before hand and this was something we already had on the list of things to do.
Clean wheels? Well the faces sure looked fine... we'll see how clean they really are
The sun's reflection is too bright, but they driver's side keyhole had a lot of build-up that needed attention.
Halograms + Swirls = lack of clarity
Even her ears? No. Not her pretty little ears...
Yes. Even her poor pretty ears. *sigh* Let's fix this baby up!
Because the vehicle was driven to us, we needed to make sure the wheels and brake components were cool prior to starting. Here Jacob takes the temperature of a caliper.
Started with a quick vaccum of the soft top to remove the light stuff. This would allow Jacob to begin the initial foaming while I got started with more attention to the fabric.
Degreaser to the wheel wells, APC to the tires
I then came through with P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel and got to work on the lugs, calipers, wheel barrels, and faces
While Jacob was flushing each wheel, tire, and wheel well, I got busy with RaggTopp Top Cleaner and a brush on the pretty lady's hair. I continued to give her scalp a good massaging while Jacob began with the wash process.
The start of the Facial Cleansing while I finish with the shampooing
Here you can see her deep black hair had a much smoother and uniform look after the scalp massage and shampoo
Jacob's careful wash of her rough body not only removed the surface soil, but pulled away some oils as well.
Finally rinsed and prepped for her epidermus skin exfoliation, here we take a careful look at her shoulder under the Brinkmann dual LED
Ready to get started!
