Another case of "you get what you pay for"...

Another Porsche for me and another bad case of a previous detailing job, but even worse than the last one I corrected. Finish looked and felt like they used #85 and wool for hours, maybe even steel wool.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to 100% as I didn't want to polish too much, not knowing what was previously done on the soft paint, so here's what I did and the photos...

Wash: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got wheel brightener 4:1
Dry: Cali blade and meg's water magnet
Clayed with Meg's Smooth Surface clay

Polish:
Menzerna SIP | Meg's 7006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | PC random orbital @ speed 5
Klasse SG on top

Meg's Hyper Dressing on all exterior trim and wheel wells 2:1
Meg's NXT on tires
KSG on wheels
Mother's on exhaust tips

Interior:
Vacuumed everything
Meg's hyper dressing on all interior plastic/trim/vynil 2:1
Lexol on leather

Stoner IG on glass inside & out

Took a little over 9 hours


Photos: (first couple after shots were taken after SIP/7006 so some hazing and holograms were still present) I'm hoping to get a few whole car photos out in the sun tomorrow when the owner picks it up as snow is melting here and everything is wet.

Before:





After:

Great job on the Porsche. The person who wrecked it before you should be punished severely. That's a Great turn around. 9 hours,Wow.
What was the total charge for the detail. Once again good job!

Ivan: OUTSTANDING paint correction! I've done a few black Porsches and one had even been burned by the "authorized" dealer... what a rip. The same dealer wanted to hire me and pay me a whopping $47.50 per car and expected 2 cars per day. Gee, now I see why.

I didn't increase the price even though I estimated the job at ~7hours due to the fact that I had Thurs-Sun to work on it... so the 9 hours didn't seem like the 9 hours you pull off in one day haha. He's picking it up today actually due to today being the first somewhat nice day after a few days of snowing and snow melting here in Chicago.
To answer your question, $320 for the complete detail
