Here is a car I just finished recently, purchased as a specific track use only car the owner is very motivated in keeping his stuff "Superclean".



This write up will chronicle the prep for clear film, clear film installation, Sharkwerks go fast stuff and lastly the finish of the correction.



The beginning.............

Tremendous amount of wax from the Dealership in SoCal where the car was purchased and I had to do a thorough De-contamination to remove the old wax until there was no more beading

Home stretch...... I was really starting to worry I would not get any sun pics as we have had ton's of rain in Norcal (and still do) but I had a small window and hustled the car out for SUN pics

Fifteen minutes later the SKY OPENED UP, not good for just dialed in Porsches........ all done.
 
Dang Bob! That has wetness and depth you could swim in :D Stay safe out there as it looks like it will be a wild winter on the west coast.
 
Looks fantastic! How did that car get so many swirls in it??



The owner has a real challenge in terms of keeping a track car "superclean"!
 
I'm sure the afters speak for themselves, but if not, you were kind enough to add a bunch of 50/50's, plenty of durings, and some good ones showing the fellas at premier earning their rep.

I always get jealous of all the gorgeous full sun-shots from all the guys that have multiple days with the same car... SO perfect
 
Bob that first after shot looks amazing with the two sun-blings. may that Porsche never see another towel wipe b/c it looks too good.....although it is a GT3 so I hope it gets driven with wreckless abandon!
