Nurburing challenge - Porsche 911 Carrera S full correction detail by KC's

[Guest]

Did anyone watch the qvc channel last night at 11 - they were advertising a product they claim is the best trade wax called "show room shine" -



the guy tried it out on a brand new BMW X5 - which looked as if it was detailed already - and i was amazed with the garbage he claimed it could do - he then tried it out on a old car which was dirty - but even after he had buffed it all off - it still looked rubbish.



P.s u could tell how much that product was just a gimmick - i spotted 12 lights shining on the bonnet of the X5 - to make it look as the product is so superior. - there needs to be some sort of official standard where all these products are fairly evaluated - not with the use of lights, chrome alloys or anything else that makes it appear that the product is better than another.

(come on u guys i should get at least 10 replies on this)!!

One of my favorites is the commercial where they demonstrate the durability of the wax by setting the car panel on fire !!!!! After putting the fire out..."Look no damage" Yeah ok...

 

[Guest]

with fire!!!!!

 

[imported_Dude]

Yeah, I love that one. Those fuel additive commercials are good too...gain up to 50 horespower! Increase fuel economy by 25%!

Magnets, dude..... the answer to everything - fuel economy, arthritis, impotence - allllllll magnets..

Seeing an infomercial that had that fast-talking English guy with the bow tie in it. Of course they had to light several cars on fire. Then at one point they dumped a load of sand on one of the cars to show how tough their product was. I'm thinking "Gee, if I lived in the desert during a nuclear war, this stuff would be great!"

Remember how this horse was prepare for his knight

Correction title should be spelled as N?rburgring

5 months ago I was asked to detail this beautiful German Marque ....

sorry Bud let you waited 5 months ya......u know the reason for this season

most commonly problem any Germans ride face here.....my buddy thought Malaysia is too hot...so hot till our weather melts the knobs ....

Most probably you don't find in any other car maker ...as they are not rubberised

this is a very common known issue in other German Marque Machine ....esp in E60s, E90s...many many many more...it is build for 4 season climate ...perhaps tropic is too hot

ta da

It is only clean with Power clean & microfibers !!!! Many refuted my claims of this de-rubberised detailing - makes no sense & got the wrong picture after :-

knobs are misleading... you took a picture of the left one for before and then the right for after.....they were in two different conditions... you can see that on the picture when you see both...

I'm just curious how u restored the rubberised a/cond knob in the 997. The before and after pics don't tally, the bad one is on driver's side...show us that one after u rescue it, not the one on passenger side

Hmmmmmm
p/s i do not get paid for showing you this : when i showed this to the the owner ''We have a good crazy laugh"
but in order to state our claims ...yes

before

Now

close up shot

5 months later on the left knob - still remains

The car is made of lighter materials that means less energy is used.......and with the amount of curves as well

good looking from far away shot.....

but close up & under sunlight...ta da

our hidden enemy is being revealed

SWIRLS

SWIRLS mostly is created....by homo sapient rather than mother nature or environmental treats

many caused by the cloths we use to wash & dry / techniques of strokes - material make off & worn out cloths (microfibers alike)

Swirls too on the D pillar

front 1/4 panel (Clear bra - vinyly wrapping alike to protect against stone chips)

this pics was taken 5 months ago prior clear bra removed - visible swirls

the owner decided to unwrapped his present - otherwise it is like driving an unwrapped present around...

more visible clear bra wrapping

now the hidden swirls shown once this clear bra remove

my buddy told me , the moment this clear bra was removed - the swirls already pre- existed

more swirls found now

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

pic before bath & lots of wax & polish residue found

on the emblem area

plus the clear bra - residues , left an uneven paint on the coat

more residue of paint unevenness -left after the bra removed

hidden wax residue on the d pillar - open sesame

We clayed most of it , lube with ONR No rinse wash & power clean out the residue



over 2 man hours just on the roof lining rubber - cleaning the tedious area

a few more pics before rolling off the road again

gave another ONR wash & protected by

imagine after 10 1/2 hours of detailing - all you want is to complete the job with any big effort & effective protection on the paint

I did it in 20 minutes with this help

Menu for the day

tools - plenty of all assorted brushes, microfibers , Makita rotary, Pads & wools

-ONR Wash - with 3 microfibers (before after clay & after each compound & polish) 4 onr wash + 1st shampoo washed diluted with Optimum power clean to strip all waxes

-O Power Clean - (1:1 used as degreaser, 3:1 to remove hard stains like algae, 5:1 paint cleaning & emblem cleaning - remove waxes, 8:1 door jams & stickers remover)

-Clay & ONR as QD for clay (2 ounces for 500 ml water) - many many clays & patience is our reward

paint corrections
- M105 & Lake country double side wool (fast & quick) (makita spread 1 & progress to speed 3)

-Level up by M105 & Lake country double cutting pad (makita spread 1 & progress to speed 3)

-Paint glossed with OHSP & Meguiars soft bun polishing pad (makita spread 1 & progress to speed 3 & regress to speed 2 & finish with speed 1)
-Finishing by OHSP with LC glazing pad (makita spread 1 & progress to speed 2 & regress to speed1 slightly lifting the rotary - slow is the key word to let the product work out)

Protected by
Optimum Opti seal (25 minutes) on all exterior , window & glasses & Optimum Car wax (5 minutes)

Interior Power clean & leather conditioner & O Leather Protectant
