Oh My...A Gray 996 Porsche..not Black
My eyes got a break on this car...a twin turbo silver gray 996. This is a frequent driver (one look at the wheels gave that away). Removed wheels and cleaned them + fender wells. Paint was "ok"..but lacked the "Toto'izing"

Here's some before pics:



Wheel well after some apc/soapy water



Wheels before...whew! Meg's Hot Rims + apc + soapy water



After:





Paint before. Pretty decent with light scratches and some swirls



Used Meguiar's 83 + 106ff on the So1o Polish pad, then Z2 and a wipedown with Z8









Next up is a Ford GT Gulf Oil edition (complete with the Dan Gurney helmet bubble). While waiting for some service parts, I got the wheels cleaned and the wheel wells done. Collector car with a very nice finish so this will be a quickie.





See You Folks!

Toto

The wheels and wells on the 996 turbo looked pretty bad. It's nice to see other people pulling the wheels off. Nice job Toto.

Toto, from the way the walls are painted it looks like your at Motorcars International in Springfield, MO.

Great work as usual. I would love to spend a day detailing w/ you to learn some of you techniques. PM me you address again, so I can send you the item for testing we discussed a couple months ago. Thanks!

Beautiful car, and as always amazing work toto. The paint is crystal clear, deep, and wet. Excellent job on those wheels too.
