Porsche Boxster and Porsche Carrera4S

I do a full detail on this about 3 times a year.
I arrived at 9:4am, as I pulled in the driveway. The garage door opened, and the owner came out. Said the keys are in it, if you need anything let me know. I backed it out, looked at the finish. To see what I was going to do.

The wash
Optimum car wash with a wheel brush and the 16" Deep Reach Wire Wheel Brushes
Tires received NoTouch
This is a must for any wide tire rim Then fresh water and OP car soap for the car.
Dried with the guzzler.

The gameplan
Out came the PB PwS and a yellow EDGE pad . Spread it at speed 4, then bumped it up to 6. Did the whole car, then wiped it off.
I then used
DP Premium Surface Shield Paint Sealant. Left it on and then hit the interior.

The Interior
Carpets were vaccum'd(did not need to be shampoo'd) then the seats/dash/doors.
Dash/door panels/console received DP Interior Surface Protectant. Seats received brand x.
Once the interior was done. I wiped off the DP PSSPS, drove it out in the sun.
Total time 3hrs and a 50$ tip















This was just a wash/vac on this Carrera4S
It was detailed back in Dec

Wash with Optimum car wash, wheel brush and the 16" Deep Reach Wire Wheel Brushes
Then a new bucket of suds for the car. Dried with guzzler.
Tires with Pinnacle black onyx gel. And I gave the paint a little love with Pinnacle spray souveran.

Total time 1 hr

sweet cars! i like how you were able to clean so deep in the rim. One question, were those rims ever really bad when you washed them for the first time? Because the inner part of my rim is black, and my wheel cleaner cant seem to get it off. What wheel cleaner did you use?

Both car look awesome. The boxster man oh man talk about deep and wet. You used a sealant, looking at it, I was thinking sealant top with wax. But no just sealant. Outstanding work.
This pic is awesome!

On the Boxster they were black, the carrera it wasn't as bad. I use th DP wheel gel cleaner
and on the front rims of the boxster 97% came clean. The 3% needed to be clayed
