Beautiful 911 in Gentian Blue Metallic get's coated

Obscenely expensive option, think it's around $13k from Porsche (who is soon moving to new hi end brake tech I believe) but supposed to be very little brake dust and in normal usage, last a lifetime.
Should you somehow goon up a rotor though, the cost af a set of replacements is apparently more than a little depressing.
Would someone accidentally mess up the way they look if they sprayed an acid based wheel cleaner on them? If so that sounds like a nightmare.. Stuff like that is why I never hose down an engine. But $13k brakes sound like even bigger trouble.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to derail the thread.

Someone smarter than me would be who to ask on the damage to PCCB rotors but at a replacement cost of $5k each, I'd be running away if presented w a set to clean
And I am also afraid to really deep clean an engine

That’s what sucks.. When you’re face to face with a situation like that.
I remember the day I had to clean this set of gold plated Dayton wheels.. I thought to myself “ok I know from experience wire wheels are a PITA to get fully clean and these certainly weren’t anywhere near clean and it was my job to get them perfect, but 1st of all can I even spray something like Wheel Brightener on them”?
“And what about brushing them? Omg I better not scratch them because gold is supposed to be a soft metal right”?
Lol. Over analyzing to the max! Smh.

That is probably the nicest blue I have ever seen on a vehicle. Nice work.

TTQ B4U, what do you use to polish narrow/thin panels? do you use the Beast/Supa Beast and edge with the pad? btw, the 911 looks fantastic!

Thanks my friend. I often simoly use the edge of a pad I run the 3401 with 6.5" pads and the Supa with the smaller 5's. I do have a Rupes nano though too.
