2001 Porsche Carrera-Luxury Mobile Auto Detailing
I was contacted by the owner of this Porsche to inspect it for a paint correction. He had just purchased the car from his brother for his wife. It was a 2001 with only 35,xxx miles. After inspection and test spot we opted for a two step correction using M105/Orange Pad, M205/White Pad. LSP was Wolfgang Fuzion. The interior just needed a quick clean up and the leather was cleaned and conditioned.

Very nice results...how did they let a Porsche get swirled that bad?

Great job! That thing was ugly before. I like the paint color and the chrome wheels really set it off. My only suggestion, pick up a roll or two of 3M green 1/4'' tape for body seams. I buy mine at NAPA.

Thank you. And Im not sure why they let it get this bad but Im glad they cared enough to contact me about it.

It was in pretty rough shape, and whatever protection was on it before did a great job of hiding it. I agree about the wheels and the color really complementing each other.


Great Job.

Thanks

Get a tripod and better lighting. Pics look too bright and washed out. Simply use post production tools to soften and sharpen the shots, and you'll be set!
