Adonis Detail - 14' Porsche Cayman S New Car Prep

[TimAD]

I was contacted by this owner looking to properly polish and protect his brand new 2014 Porsche Cayman S. This owner actually had the opportunity to experience European delivery where he picked up the Cayman at the factory in Stuttgart. Which is a very awesome experience. Anyways, onto the detail,

Main Points:
-Light swirl/defect removal
-Coating application (CQuartz UK)
-Interior detailing & conditioning
-Wheel cleaning and coating

Wheel cleaner doing its thing,

Car was then given a warm foam bath to remove loose grime prior to merino wool hand wash.

Vehicle was then rinsed and given a soak in Iron X to remove all bonded contaminants and Iron from the surface prior to polishing and coating. This step is paramount in any coating application.

Yes, even new cars need to be clayed/decontaminated!

Vehicle was then dried with warm air and polished to remove light surface defects.

After polishing the surface was then cleaned using Eraser, and CQuartz UK was applied followed by Reload.

That's a WRX, and I believe it's his vehicle... I've seen it in his write-ups a few times :)
I love Ice Silver! ISM and SWP are the only ones that can pull off the chrome headlights IMO lol.

Bravo.

Nice Work! I absolutely love these cars! I didn't really realize how cool they were until I got my hands on one to detail and drive. Changed my opinion hands down.
