2000 Red BoxsterS

[Anthony Orosco]

Husband wanted to get his wifes red Boxster detailed so he left it with me for a few days after it was serviced by the dealer.

Paint didn"t look that bad until after I washed all the dirt off. It had alot of marring as seen by these two pictures.

Black lambswool with Hyper at 1500 was my first step.

Green pad with HYper at 1400 came next.

White LC pad with OCP at 1400

Cyclo with PoliSeal and white pads. Some areas were done with blue finishing pad at 1000 rpm's.


I was a bit bummed today as it rained all day but I was able to get it outside for a few minutes and snapped off a few AFTER shots during a break in the rain. I was really hoping to get better sun shots but the clouds were not having any part of that.

The paint had alot of paint chips but it came out looking pretty nice.

The interior was your normal wear and tear, alot of grime from driving with the top down.

carpets were cleaned with my steamer and then extracted. Seats were cleaned and conditioned with Leathermaster products.

Very nice job and write up Anthony. I like the pictures of the black Carrera you posted the other day. The one shot of the cloulds on the hood was great.

:applause: Man that is great. My wifes 2000 T&C van has the same paint condition. My 03 Lincoln has water spots. I can't wait to get me a quality polisher and the right cleaning materials. The pictures alone from everyone really hype me up.

A beauty of a job, Anthony!!
My vette is like that color, and itused to look just like your before shots... It is better, but not like the Boxster there... I have a ways to go.
Very impressive nonetheless!!
I am jealous!!!!

Looks good anthony! That interior looks like new!

Very nice Anthony. I've see alot of you other stuff on "A" nother site.

Anthony,

Got ask you some serious questions .... I know you are an Optimum freak and thats cool. I have found the polishes to be quite nice, and dressings if you like more of a matte surface. What I dont get is your constant use of the Spray Wax , why ?? I have found absolutely no durability from it and that it really doesnt "add" to paint. Infact, I find that Duragloss 921 and even Finish Kare 425 are better looking products will same ease of use, and about the same durability.

Tell me more about the new Poli-seal also ?? I got a sample, and mine says carnauba on it. As such I have been relucant to try it, as I want and believed this product was sealant based and designed to go head to head with products like Klasse Twins and Werkstatt, if it truly is carnauba based (maybe it was changed at a later date??) then I dont see it holding pace with acrylic protection the other two offer.

Please LMK your thoughts ...

[justin_murphy]

Very good questions Scott.

Nice job on the Boxster. The interior turnaround is particulary impressive. Did you detail the engine?

I love that car. I was all set to buy one many years ago, but I decided to get married instead. So I always tell people my boxster is on my wife's finger!

Great work Anthony! :applause: The interior changed color more than the exterior I think. :D
