I get the call at 930 in the morning with a "hey are you already detailing today, if not, do you want to?" Come on, you know I do!!!! Even though I just spent 14 hours straight the night before on a brabus mercedes, I was ready and willing to jump on another car, even though sleeping in was much needed and enjoyed!



At first it was going to be another car that was to be displayed at the GMG Open House, but at the last minute, plans changed and cars were switched. I had already seen this car in person so I knew of the condition and knew it was going to be some work. I hadnt seen the other car yet, but I figured it wasnt as bad as this one...Once I arrived, I was glad I got to do this porsche instead!!! The other car, a 335 BMW, was HAMMERED!!!!!! Rumor has it, $100 details are no good...I'll let you be the judge of that rumor...see blow for evidence!



Upon arrival (first time seeing it in full sun) YIKES

My point in posting all those holograms...EVERY PANEL HAD SEVERE HOLOGRAMS ALL OVER IT



Moving onto some 5050 shots, here are the bumper accents, dressed and not dressed, exhaust tip before and after, and after removal of license plate polishing 5050 - have to give credit where credit is due: Austin (company rep and detailer on the side) gave me a helping hand on some areas while I polished the car. The main focus was the paint for the car show the next day. But because he hit the little stuff like washing the car prior to my arrival, cleaning and dressing the bumper accents, and other odds and ends, it allowed me more time with the paint! Thanks AUSTIN!!!!

After 9 solid hours on it through a clay, compound, polish, glaze, sealant, wheels, tires, trim, and windows, this car was ready to be shown off!



Here is what it looked like just after finishing (late at 8pm)
