| | | '05 Porsche Carrarra S with Souveran
The owner travels every week, so it is a garage queen. With about 3K miles on it
He saw me a few times at this location, doing a some rides. Asked for a B.card and called me a few days later, to make an appointment.
The Interior
After vacuuming everything. DP Interior Surface Protectant was used on a few interior parts. Leather was cleaned with a water/woolite mix. Then conditioned with Danase leather Rx.
The Wash
Op car wash and the white/yellow Shmitt. After it was almost dry , then it was clayed.
Wheels and tires
Same soap as wash, the 16" wheel brush and a wheel brush. The 16" deep reach wheel brush is great for these rims. One pass of Surf City Tire Pro on tires after.
The Gameplan
The PC and a 5.5 white polishing pad and Optimum polish. The owner wanted a wax put on after the polishing. He didn't want a sealent, so I chose Pinnacle's Liq. Souveran. Put it on the whole car, then removed it with a cobra deluxe jr. mf.         I know This Porsche is dripping sexy

| | | Can I ask why you used 5.5inch pads instead of the standard 6.5inch pads? I have 2 of the exact same pad available, and want to know when to use them?
How was the paint before?

| | | I never really liked Porche's but after detailing one and having it for about a week or so I have to admit they are great vehicles. I now have a better appretiation for these vehicles.
Vehicle looks great, always enjoy seeing the work you do.
Thank you for sharing. |

I would love have loved to let my friends Porche loose on the track though man I can just imagine that bad boy taking those corners. They sure handle great. Like I said sure made me appretiate all those Porche owners, I used to say oh great there goes another Porche but after driving one and detailing I actually noticed the attention to detail and the craftmanship that goes on those Porche's. Well just my opinion....actually I'm thinking I'd rather have a Porche as a track vehicle then that 1991 Lambo Diablo  |

How was the paint before? | They are just like the 6.5 pads. I didn't feel like changing out the 5 inch backing plate, to the 6 inch. So I used the 5.5 pad And I have 3 of them to use. It worked just fine, like the 6.5 would.
The paint was in great shape
