This 2007 997 Carrera S is a car that's enjoyed to the fullest. Outside of having over 40,000 miles on it from being driven year around, the car has seen many track days. The owner truly enjoys this baby.
For the owner's recent birthday, his wife gave us a call and decided to have us clean this beauty up. After arrival, we unpacked and got started with the scheduled two-step job + interior.
While equipment was being set-up, Marc took paint readings to check for any irregularities or low spots.

With everything set to go, it was apparent even before the initial wash that the car was quite dirty and in need of a little love.

While foam dwelled, P21S and some brushes cleaned up the rims and calipers nicely.

With the rims clean, the paint was foamed down with a thick mix of Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash & Clear, then washed.

Sonus mild clay was used on the upper portions of the car and on the clear-bra covering the front bumper while their purple clay took care of the much more contaminated areas: lower portions, behind wheel arches, etc.

Little known autoLavish fact: Jacob gains his strength from eating contaminated clay.

Following claying, we foamed the car...again...this time the soap pulled off the clay lube residue.

We always appreciate owners like this: not only does he enjoy the car, he takes good care of it too. Two bucket washing by hand only, regular waxing, etc. The only issue was the light swirling, with few RIDS compared to the norm.

The clear-bra on the front bumper looked rather dull and beat-up, as did the signal indicators

Door jams, the gas cap, and gas cap area all received Klasse AIO while taping took place.
