    Operation Daily Driver!

    1995 Porsche 911/Carrera (993)
    160k miles
    White/Black
    Operation Daily Driver!
    This is my client’s daily driver. He drives it every day rain or shine. He loves this car! It is in top mechanical condition, he is a local Porsche Technician, and performs all the work himself. He recently wanted some more power and added a supercharger kit to it, really boosting the HP/TQ! Car sits outside at his work in an industrial area and really gets hammered and really is not properly cared for. The car was corrected/protected over 3 years ago and needed to be redone. Paint was contaminated, full of defects, and the coating appeared to have failed/failing/at the end of it’s useful life. Vehicle is mostly single stage paint with a few panels resprayed in base/clear.

    The ‘details’:

    McKee’s37 iron remover.
    Adam’s shampoo, tire/rubber cleaner, and eco wheel cleaner.
    Medium clay mitt.
    Master blaster and MF drying towel to dry.
    Scangrip lighting.
    DeFelsko PTG’s.
    HF FR machine.
    LC pads.
    Griot’s FCC and Perfecting.
    Optimum panel wipe.
    Aquatek GT ceramic coating.
    Topped with some Aquatek Bliss.
    Adam’s Graphene tire dressing.
    Exhaust tips cleaned with I forget metal polish.
    Metro vacuum.
    McKee’s37 70/30 leather lotion.
    Adam’s glass cleaner.

    Thanks for looking!

    This is, without a doubt, the greatest 911 you've detailed...IMHO! First off it's a 993, next white AND those RUF wheels, add the S/C AND the mileage....mic dropOperation Daily Driver!

    Guarantee you he has has maybe had it detailed once and has been driving it through washes ever since. At least that the norm these days. Also is going to be a super fun car for you to bring back to its original shape. Only bummer is it's white.lol

    Great rescue. Tough living environment. A high-mileage, 30-year old Porsche. The owner better be a mechanic.

    Great job on breathing a little life back into the paint on such a beautiful car. I like the wheels, they look rather Ruff-esque to me.

    I salute the owner too for daily driving such an amazing car! 160K on a car that old really isn't that much; only about 5~6K a year.
