I'm sure you guys remember this shop where i did the last Turbo.
They called me back when this customer dropped off his newly acquired Turbo for some maintanance work and he also asked for a detail.
Since i just started dealing with this shop, they didn't quite explain it well to the customer that i need to speak with him/her directly to discuss exactly what they want done so i can quote them the exact price.
They gave him a price which was fine but i didn't know how extensive he wanted me to be.
Since he has other cars and i also will be doing more work for this place in the future i went ahead with the job, deciding to remove the majority of the swirls without doing a full correction.
When i was almost done, the owner did come by and i got a chance to discuss things with him so now he has a better understanding of how i like to oprerate.
I used a new line of products but since AG does not carry that particular brand i will refrain from mentioning it unless i get told it would be okay.
I used their swirl remover on a green/blue pad followd by their finishing polish on a grey pad.
I then topped it off with sigII.
I did not take after pics of the exact spots of the befores, mainly because i sometimes get distrected by either other customers who constantly come by the shop to drop off/pick up their cars and the phone ringing.
I went ahead and changed my voicemail message letting people know that i will get back to them within 24 hours so i can concentrate on the work at hand.

Nice work. 911 Turbo in automatic is a tragedy, though.

Looks fantastic (another vote for 911 Turbo in Auto being a tragic event).

Thanks guys, hey Shawn i have a customer with the red M3 i posted before(look in older posts) who moved to Houston.
I was supposed to find him someone in that area and i never got around to it. Let me call him to see if he still needs a detailer, i will let you know.

When i got into the car the first time i was searching with my left foot for a clutch pedal and couldn't find one.
I looked down to see where it was because i couldn't imagine the car not having one, until i looked at the shifter.....so sad.

The last 911 Turbo I detailed was properly built with a 6-speed and factory short-throw and we got to talking about the neighbor across the street with a 997 Carrera S and immediately the jokes came from the owner of the Turbo about it being a PDK instead of a mans car, ha ha.

I don't mind making auto Porsches look good though :dblthumb2:

Very well done! :)

An exotic on a matic transmission, too bad you can't get all the torque you want on specific gears. But that car is still awesome regardless of its transmission. :)

I agree, regardless of the tranny it is still an awesome car. The color is also one i have not seen before.
Sort of a combination of a green and brown tint to it.

Juan I saw you at RS today while I was at Complete Auto next to AWD since I detail for both of those shops. RS has a pretty nice big rig
