This Porsche was at a dealership where a friend sells cars and his dad owns the business
I happened to be doing some work there restoring some fire damage cars, when I saw this car my friend just got from an auction and had it for sale
I noticed the paint was faded, and had some nasty scratches. The nose and where the hood meet were two different tones of red
The car is also a single stage paint
My process was pretty basic, I wasn't going all out, but I offered my friend a freebie to just let me use my new toys and new products I was dying to use
Tools I've used:
Flex DA Buffer
PC 7424
Griots 3" DA buffer (got it from AG)
LC Constant Pressure Orange Pads
Products I've used:
Menzerna PO85RD3.02
Meguiars M105
Meguiars M205
Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant
Blue Magic Claybar
Duragloss 265 Trim and Rubber Spray
I proceeded with a claybar treatment. Then Menzerna with an LC CCS Orange pad. Worked some spot scratches with the M105 and followed by the M205. Wiped down the car after the polish was completed with IPA and then laid down a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant with my PC and an LC CCS Black pad
Here are some before. Notice the Porsche parked next to another red one and you'll see fading on the paint and the nose and hood difference in color...
