Presidential Details of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania presents Barry Theal as he details a 2005 Porsche Carrera S in Jet black. This Porsche is a common example of power, style, and luxury in the same car. Upon contact from the owner he explained the car was daily driven and from day one of his purchase, the had some swirls. Upon inspection my first thought was wow it had a lot. The owner had drop the vehicle off for several days and allowed me to put the proper time in to detail this car accordingly. This car received a complete refinement.
As the presents itself when it arrived:
First things first, before I could turn my passion into perfection, I like to start with a dismantle phase. During this stage of the detail, my goal is to remove anything that can come off. Today it was just the registration plate and bracket.
Onto the Decontamination Stage. This stage is designed to cleanse the car. This is the first stage of this vehicles reconditioning. During this stage my main focus is cleansing. The entire exterior receives a gentle yet very effective contamination removal from all painted surfaces, engine, door jams, wheels, and arches.
First I started with a nice foam bath with a soap designed to remove wax yet ph balanced. Here in these to portraits you can see how the foams works. This is actually a very nice crucial step. Its main purpose is to loosen and dirt and loose debris from the vehicles surface. It allows for the debris to be removed with out touching the paint. I have found it to be a must in the ultimate prevention against washed induced marring.
Once the car was foam I cleaned all the wheels first with Meguairs Wheel Brightener , then they were rotated 180 degrees to ensure all inner barrels were clean.
All door jams, motor, and tires were Sprayed with Autoglym Engine and Parts Cleaner. All areas were agitated and rinsed off. Here you can see the tires were real dirty.
Once this task was completed, I gave the car another foam bath and rinse. Now it was time to ensure the paint was smooth and decontaminated. I choose a fine grade clay bar to remove the surface contaminants. Upon initial inspection the paint felt a little rough, but nothing major. After the clay bar treatment I was shocked to see how much was actually removed. In the next two pictures you can see that before and after. This was a brand new piece of clay.
The car was then dried with compressed air. I prefer this method. It allows you to get all the water out of every crack and crevice. Water sitting in tight spots can lead to rust, this prevents it.
I then taped the car up. There was a lot of tape used. As this particular vehicle had a clear bra on the entire front half of the car. All clear bra edges got taped along with anything that could be damaged by the polisher.
Off I went with the initial paint correction. This step consisted of M105 Ultra Cut Compound . I utilized A
Awesome work guys!!
