911 Porche Carrera

[Nica]

This vehicle belongs to a good friend of mine and after seeing the work I’ve been doing he finally told me to detail his vehicle. The timing was perfect, my friend was going on holidays for three weeks and he gave me the keys and left me his baby in my hands. He wanted good products to be used on his vehicle and he got it.

911 Porsche Carrera

Interior Process:

Vinyl and rubber:
I used Meguiars #40, but prior to it I gave the entire vehicle a nice wipe down with Meg’s APC mixed with water 1:1.

Carpet:
Meguiars APC used it on the carpet. I scrubbed with a brush then extracted it with my shop-vac.

Leather:
Wolfgang leather care cleaner and conditioner

Exterior Process

Engine bay:
Used P21S Total Auto Wash full strength and dressed with Stoners Trim Shine.

Wash:
I used Zymol Clear Auto Bathe with two bucket method and the white ShMITT.

Clay:
The vehicle was in rough shape so I used Red Clay Magic, the vehicle required something with a good bite and this was the clay for it.

Polish

Wet sand – 2500grit sand paper
Menzerna Power Gloss Compound – Metabo – Meguiars Cutting Wool pad – 1500rpm
Menzerna 106FF – Metabo – Menzerna White Pad – 1500rpm
Menzerna Final Polish II – Metabo – Menzerna Orange Pad – 1500rpm

Prepping for wax:
Zymol HD cleanse applied by hand and removed by hand


Wax:
1 – Coat of Zymol Glasur Glaze Wax applied by hand and removed by hand

Rims/wheel wells/Tires:

For the rims I used P21S gel formula agitated with my Swissol wheel brush. After rims where cleaned I finished them off with Zymol HD cleanse and toped off with 1 – Coat of Zymol Glasur Glaze Wax
For the wheel wells I used P21S Total Auto Wash full strength
Tires and wheel wells were finished off with Stoner Trim Shine

Exterior plastic peaces/trim:
I used Mothers Back to Black.

Glass:
Stoners with glass Cobra MF then used Zymol HD cleanse and topped off with 1 – coat of Zymol Glasur Glaze Wax

Observations/comments:

The Swissol wheel brush is a really handy brush to do the rims with. Makes it easy to get in between the spokes and other areas. Best part is it wasn’t loosing hairs (not falling apart). In addition, the Swissol brush is really handy for the interior vents. Overall the Swissol wheel brush is a worthy tool to recommend, I recommend it. I purchased the Zymol Glausur Glaze Wax just for this vehicle plus other vehicles that are coming and it’s quite the product.

Now for some wet sanding:



















Now for the taping:














Some inside reflection:











Well there she is, I have to admit I'm very pleased with the results and the new products worked incredable. As you can see by the amount of pictures I had lots of fun with detail...no I should refrase that I had a blast detailing this vehicle. I had to drive it back to my friends house and I had a bunch of people turning there heads to look at the vehicle and others giving me a thumbs up as I drove by them hahahaha.

Well any comments feed back is always welcome, hope you enjoy.

Oh! Thats all I can say She looks fantastic, I love the warm gloss and the nice reflections! Hard to get on a silver, but you did it! Great work as always buddy

Some Questions If you don`t mind How do you like the P21S Total Auto Wash? How do you like Zymol products? It had been fun to try something new soon..

Again, LOVE IT

You always have kicka$$ details but this one is your best ever! That car is so slick looking, it looks like mercury on wheels. Very nice. That took a lot to make it come out like that. Love the write-up and all the pics.

Carlos, man oh man you kick butt on her. I can't believe someone would let a Porche get that bad. You turn it around, she looks phenomenalnow. You do great work my friend. If you don't mine me asking. On the sanding, you said 2500, was it wet or did you use a sander. How long did the paper last per body part? On the rims you used P21S gel, how well do you like that product? Sorry for all the question....
