1985 Porsche Carrera...Operation swirl city!

**Sizzle Chest** · 05-16-2021, 01:48 PM

1985 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet
Black/Black
29,636 miles
Original owner, vehicle is all original

Owner stated that his vehicle needs some attention. Statement of the year! I don’t believe this poor Porsche has ever been touched properly in its entire life. Surface was swirls city! Full of swirls, squirrels, scratches, hazing, and just dull/lifeless paint. Let’s breathe some life back into it!

The ‘details’:

Gary Dean shampoo. (finally used up the last of the gallon I had)
Medium clay mitt.
Adam’s Tire and Rubber cleaner.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
303 ‘vert top cleaner.
Master blaster to dry.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG.
Flex 3401.
Flex pixie.
Rupes iBrid.
Griot’s Fast Correcting Cream.
Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
Optimum panel wipe.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
GYEON Tire.
Auto Finesse Glass cleaner.
McKee’s37 Fast interior cleaner.
Metro vacuum.

Paint makes it look like the owner used it for a hockey puck?

Nice restoration as is your norm...

Before I looked at the pics I wasn't too excited to see the car itself but rather the restoration. I say this because 930 cabs look like they're wearing a hat ontop....BUT this o e has a top I've never seen before, gives it a different look and because of THAT I was VERY happy to see the pics

Unbelievable correction, my friend! The second pic after "After the first hit" is phenomenal.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the comments!!! I had a good time working on this, paint was 'cooperative' and responded well!

European vehicle. Owner purchased it in Germany and had it shipped to the states. Rear fog/parking light is factory! Top is a manual top, don't know if that is why it looks different to ya!
