This 996 Turbo has 13k miles and the client was ready to take the paint to another level.
The Turbo is lowered with TechArt springs and I love the HREs.
Before I picked up the car, the client had just returned from a w/e of driving in the North GA mountians. I can't think of a more perfect way to spend a w/e.
Before pics:
I started by rinsing off the wheels, wells and tires with my PW at a safe distance.
The wheels where cleaned with P21s wheel cleaning gel, a blonde boars hair brush, swissvax brush, EZ detail brush and a MF mit.
Tires and wells where cleaned with Amazing Roll-off 1:1 water and various brushes.
Everything was given a through rinse with my PW at a safe distance.
I then foamed up the car with 2oz of CGCWC, 1 oz of Zaino Z7 and the rest of my 32oz foam lance botttle fill with water.
After allowing the foam to dwell, I rinsed off the car with my PW.
I then performed the Valu-gard ABC paint decontamination wash.
I used the valu-gard soap in my foam canon for the last step.
Rinsed everything off and brought the car inside where I clayed the paint while wet using Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.
Some after wash and clay pics:
I then taped up all the trim in preparation for polishing.
I used my usual KBM via orange LC classic foam pad, New M105 and PC6.
Both of these pics are after M105 and 3x straight IPA wipedowns:
Followed M105 with M205 using a Classic LC black pad via KBM PC6.
Rear plastic taillight lenses polished with M105/orange/PC6 followed by M205/black/PC6.
I cropped these pics out.
