1999 Porsche Carrera - CQuartz Finest - Norman, Oklahoma

[theautospa]

All work was performed at my shop The AutoSpa LLC in Norman Oklahoma, The Auto Spa - Paint Correction and Ceramic Coatings . This client was recommended to me as he has never been thrilled with the way his 1999 Porsche Carrera looked after having it detailed several times. We chatted for a bit and then went out and looked at the vehicle, as we approached it, it looked very shiny and from afar looked really good. As we walked up closer to it I could see the real reason it was here, swirls, holograms, buffer trails, and scratches. The entire vehicle had clearly been polished with a wool pad on a rotary the vehicle was littered with defects on every inch of it. As we had talked I knew the goal was to revive the vehicle and bring it back to a like new standard. This would include a multi step correction, glass polishing, wheel removal, and protection with CQuartz Finest.

Over 35 hours into getting this Porsche back into like new status and the owner couldn't have been happier. I look forward to easily maintaining this beautiful vehicle for years to come.

These photos show the vehicle before getting started.

The hood was so bad that it called for a 50/50

What a correction!!! I was honestly quite shocked that the paint was in that bad of condition when it got to you. I, too, agreed that it looked pretty good from the distanced photos, but once you got up on it, my jaw dropped haha. Great work!

Great work! Excellent 50/50s. So many holograms, I see Elvis in one of them!

halograms and buffer trails can be created with foam pads on a rotary also. i had to fix the hood of a BMW my coworker created some on today.


excellant work!

Crazy correction. Great job!

Awesome save. I especially like the 50/50 photos in the sun showing the swirls and holograms vs. the corrected side.

Looks great, also love that out side 50/50 shot the buffer trails are so pronounced in that pic compared to the corrected side.
