I was approached by a fellow member over on 6speedonline about giving his black 911 some love. The paint on these poor cars is so soft, I had a pretty good idea of what I'd be dealing with....and she didn't disappoint! ;) Total time spent was roughly 20 hours massaging the black paint back to life. There were deep scratches and swirls throughout, but the results speak for themselves. She shines like new now! We were on a time deadline so I didn't take as many "during" photos, but got what I could.

Another common issue on 911s is the engine cover area. Due to it's tight location I decided to break out my 3" Griot's mini polisher and go to town. Below are before and after shots
