2011 Cayenne, paint correction & Opti-Guard protection

The owner of this vehicle contacted me last winter about getting his new Porsche into the condition it should be. As you can see it had some significant wash induced marring and a few RIDS thanks to the dealers “hand washing”.

Process:
Washing - Foam bath with CGCW at paint prep ration and 2BM wash
Wheels - Sonax Full Effect Wheel cleaner on wheels with various brushes
Claying - Meguiar’s clay and ONR as lube
Paint Correction step 1 - Meguiars M105 via DA and Surbuf pads
Paint Correction step 2 - Meguiars M105 via DA and Meguiar’s MF pads
Paint Correction step 3 - Meguiars M205 via DA and LC tangerine foam pads
Prep for coating – Foam bath with CGCW and Optimum Power Clean followed by an IPA wipe-down
Paint protection – Optimum Opti-Guard, applied with foam applicator. (All paint, trim, and wheel coated)

The paint on this Porsche was actually VERY hard, which is not what I’ve typically experienced with Porsche paint and correction was slow going. I had to make several passes with the Surbuf pads/M105 to remove some of the deeper defects. The initial step finished down pretty well but did leave a slight haze and a LOT of dust. My second step with M105 and MF pads was to remove the marring and to chase down any remaining deep scratches…this left the paint pretty much LSP ready and the final finishing step with M205 went pretty quick.

Great Job Chad! She is perfect now. When you coat the wheels do you remove the rims and coat the inside as well or just the outer surface?

Thank you!

The owner did not want the wheels removed, nor do I think my jack is tall enough. The wheel design did allow me to reach in part of the way and for the rest I rigged up a long handle with a paint stick shoved inside the foam applicator.

I love seeing your work. Great job!!

Thanks Richy! Right back at you too!
