Make plans now to be part of the team the polishes the black paint on Sam's rare Porsche to perfection and then apply the Cquartz Paint Coating.

We'll start at 5:00pm and should be done around 10:00pm

Sam told me there's a few swirls and scratches in the paint since the last time we buffed out his car so we'll need to restore a mirror finish before applying the Cquartz.

Mike, ask Sam if he is interested in selling. I am looking at one nearly identical in California to purchase and Stuart is a heck of alot closer!

Sam's a die-hard Porsche enthusiast and chased after this car for years... it's his baby and his pride and joy but I'll ask him. HE also has a killer BMW that we'll have here for another project.


We have some more surprises in the que too...


:D

I am sure he wouldn't part with her. It is an outstanding example. That is the problem I am having with my search for my next P-Car...the die hards are hoarding them!

I hope the swirls and scratches are minimal... but we'll do what needs to be done. I think the hardest part about detailing this car is the felt of fuzzy material surrounding the sunroof. When I first worked on the car I started by removing the other guy's wax as it was embedded into the fuzzy material and it's hard to remove it without harming the fuzzy gasket material.

TOGW = The Other Guy's Wax (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-topics-frequently-asked-questions/21283-togw-other-guy-s-wax.html)


I taped the fuzzy gasket off each time I've worked on this car as I'm not going to be the other guy to someone else down the road.

Besides that the louvers are a pain too...


The paint around the louvers and the louvers were the most difficult areas to work on and while the paint was greatly improved in this area there are still deeper scratches remaining that can be removed but will require more time to work out carefully by hand or machine...

The good news is we'll have a team of people attacking the car so it should go pretty quick...

The fuzzy seals are indeed a pain. Mine drive me nuts since the tape doesn't like to stick to it. Can you remove the underside of the wing to make polishing easier...get the plastic part out of the way? I have a 930 turbo coming into the shop Sunday for a weeklong correction. It has the same wing as Sam's so I will take notes on you guys handle that portion of it.

What system(s) are you using on this car?

The plan was to stick with the Wolfgang Twins (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/wolfgang-car-care/28324-wolfgang-twins-picture-links.html) to restore the paint to the quality the car deserves, then use the CarPro Eraser Intense Oil & Polish Cleanser (http://www.autogeek.net/carpro-eraser-ipa.html) to strip the paint and then apply the CarPro Cquartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection (http://www.autogeek.net/cquartz-paint-sealant.html)

That's the plan...

Yes.

This Porsche has a lot of curves, both convex and concave plus thin, tight areas to buff not to mention taking off the grill under the louvers on the deck-lid.

I actually used this car for a video on how to tape-off a car here,

Online Classes (https://aspdn-02.onstreammedia.com/palmbeachmotoring/)



It would really help to have a person savvy with the iPhone and Facebook to take and upload pictures to my Facebook page on the fly as we work on this car.


Because the CQuartz coating needs 20 to 30 minutes before it can be wiped-off the paint we'll need a team of people working together to,


Remove Swirls
Polish to a high gloss
Wipe with
Apply the CQuartz
Carefully remove the CQuartz

Then we can take some beauty shots of the results and I have a new special guest to help this Thursday night.

mike, another trick i used on my wifes mb sunroof fuzzy seal was to brush it thoroughly removing old polish etc then tape the metal side off and apply several coats of black shoe dye. worked like a charm and so far is bullet proof to foaming/washing etc.

the former owner of the car had ground off alot of the fuzz with a buffer so i didnt have much to lose to try the above.
