2005 Porsche Turbo S Correction 1-13-2011 Just recently completed this was the first job in my new shop. Porsche modified by Sharkwerks this car had the go but no "Show". As any 6 year old black finished car, there were RIDS, holograms and dirt in all the tight crevices. Healthy readings everywhere except the roof line which averaged 110 and below to 97 microns. Pics as the car was brought over by James @ Sharkwerks. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011004.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011005.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011006.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011009.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011007.jpg Thorough decontamination/wash/clay step. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011002.jpg Any remaining LSP residue stripped away. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011001.jpg Initial 50/50 on the wing. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011015.jpg After wool & foam pad compounding. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011017.jpg Door handle had a "Little fingernail scratch problem". http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011019.jpg After compounding and middle step of polishing. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011022.jpg Hood had some RIDS, mixed in with some clay marring as I had to go with a aggressive bar to shear the fallout off. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011024.jpg Working this area was going to be tricky as I did not have the option this time of removing the badge. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011028.jpg Correction is coming along. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011031.jpg After meduim polishing step, before fine polish. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011038.jpg During fine polishing stage. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011039.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011041.jpg Engine bay was not bad at all, so thus no reason for before's. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011042.jpg All paint in the engine bay polished with two steps and sealed. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...12-2011043.jpg |
Amazing work as always. I would love to have your job just to be around these cars! Hopefully you get to drop a car off to the customer sometimes LOL. |
Fantastic as always! Question: How do you polish in the small areas around the 'turbo' emblem? Did you remove it? |
Great work. |

As I stated in the write up I did not have the option this time, as on these type of job's the O.E. badge would come off replaced with a new one. Used my steamer, specialty brushes and loads of patience to clean around the badge. |

Cleaning I understand. But I was referring specifically about polishing. Small pad and polish by hand? |

LOL. He just said he didn't remove it. Which is what I don't understand. How the hell do you polish AROUND that thing and be effective AND not get polish in all the crevices??? http://blog.breitlingsource.com/wp-c...pol-dremel.jpg |
