So a couple of weeks ago, I got a call from a guy who saw the last Porsche I did with the request that I take a look at his. He brought it by and it was a bit overcast so I did not see the full spectrum of the quality job that someone had did on this car. He warned me that it was bad, I gave him a ball park and he made an appointment. So yesterday morning he dropped it of, it was about 7 am and at that time this is what it looked like...

Not to bad huh?!?!?!...

At this point I have yet to see the car in the sun so I let it sit while I finished up another car sothe sun would hopefully come out in full force. Anyways Iwalk back out at about 10:30 and blammo!!!

Some of the most interesting trails that I have seen, a cut waffle pad that had been burried at the beach with some metal polish maybe

I gave the owner a call and said that he would be on the high side of his ballpark and he replied " I don't care how much it costs, just make it look like a Black Porsche!" My kinda of client.

He had bought it on a gloomy day about a month ago so with the 35-40K dollars involve I am sure his reaction hwas better than mine when he first saw it in the sun.

After the normal wash and prep steps this was the paint condition...

A little test spot with some Megs 83 and a green pad, I do love Porsche paint...easy to correct, just work slow

wow...that is an amazing job. Whoever did it before did not know how to do it at ALL. I mean by no means am i a pro, but when i first did a detail to my car i didnt hack at all. (It was good for a first time haha for me) But WOW...all i can say is good job!

Wow man, as usual, your work is great. How much did you charge? Thats what this one Tiberon looked like when I worked on it (they used the brush at the car wash on the paint), and it came out great.

Great turnaround, I love clients like that. Looks like a Mother's Powerball that had been used on dirty rims was used on the paint, LOL
