Its an 02/03 911 Turbo, after reading a bunch of threads it looks like I'm in for some fun. At the moment I only have a pc to work with an optimum compound, optimum polish, hitemp magnum 357 and extreme cut. I've been reading that ill need something really tough to cut porsche clear so I was thinking about ordering menzerna sip or ip, I have orange and yellow lc pads....think the menzerna is necessary?
 
I've done a few porsches this year and I haven't found them to be incredibly difficult to cut. I did this 911 with just a medium cut and a blue polishing pad. I've had others who own Porches tell me that the clear is very soft as well. In fact, I've found that Porsche clear was easier to polish and get good results than even my Subaru clear was. I don't think you'll have a problem, but again, that depends on the condition of the paint. If it has been washed with a gritty sponge and dried with a crusty bath towel for the last few years then you could have your work cut out for you. Bring a variety of cutting compounds and the pads needed to polish out the haze if necessary.
