    Rode hard...put away wet

    2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
    36,263 miles
    Carrera white metallic, brown/beige interior
    Operation rode hard, put away wet



    Client of mine wanted their SUV cleaned up, corrected/protected. It’s been sitting outside unprotected in the harsh Florida environment for some time now. Typical swirls, scratches, hazy/lazy paint, some chips, tar, road paint, and some bizarre defects/etching along the passenger top front fender, driver and passenger doors. Still had clear on it, but it was etched/cracked/crazed/and full of dirt/mold. It looked as if it had some type of mechanical abrasion, but I was told it was just from sitting outside. It very well could be the sun doing it’s thing on that one area with the clear. The interior was filthy, mildew, mold.
    It corrected and cleaned up a bit, not perfect, but a ton better.




    The ‘details’:

    Adam’s shampoo
    McKee’s37 iron remover
    Medium clay mitt
    McKee’s37 APC
    Tarminator
    Adam’s wheel cleaner
    Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner
    DeFelkso PTG
    Scangrip lighting
    Flex 3401 and pixie
    LC force hybrid pads along with some wool and old surf buf pads
    Griots FCC
    Schols matting compound
    Optimum panel wipe
    Adam’s ceramic coating
    GYEON tire
    Metro vacuum
    McKee’s37 interior cleaner
    Adam’s carpet and upholstery cleaner
    Auto finesse glass cleaner

    Thanks for looking!

    Wow. Incredible difference. Can’t believe someone would let a car get that bad, especially a Porsche. I’ve seen cars look that bad but they’re usually older, less expensive vehicles. Just sad but now nice!

    The closeups made it look like 25 year old paint. Great resurrection, it looks beautiful as it should.

    Great turn around! May I ask what you used on the B pillars? Porsche has some pretty fussy ones

    I’ve seen similar cracking/(shrinking?) of the paint on 2018’s and up BMW’s, usually at top of fenders and trunk or rear hatch areas. I hit it with my paint gauge and the spots are the same as the rest of the panel, haven’t been repainted and the best I could do is minimize them.

    Looks unbelievably good. Never ceases to amaze me how people let their cars get so bad. That thing looked more like a 15 year old 6 owner corolla.
