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.











Thorough decontamination/wash/clay step.



Any remaining LSP residue stripped away.



Initial 50/50 on the wing.



After wool & foam pad compounding.



Door handle had a "Little fingernail scratch problem".



After compounding and middle step of polishing.



Hood had some RIDS, mixed in with some clay marring as I had to go with a aggressive bar to shear the fallout off.



Working this area was going to be tricky as I did not have the option this time of removing the badge.



Correction is coming along.



After meduim polishing step, before fine polish.



During fine polishing stage.





Engine bay was not bad at all, so thus no reason for before's.



All paint in the engine bay polished with two steps and sealed.

 

Worked the area under the wing as well, water spots and marring were evident.



Had help from Tony Ito, worked with as our detailer @ Performance Art(old shop I used to run) Tony is very meticulous on interiors especially trunk areas were clients will find clothes folded and anything in there re-organized.



Scratched door handles "tightned up".



Finished product.









Dried out cowl area dressed to a matte non-greasy finish.



Recently we have rain & cold in the Bay Area(SF) but when these sun pics were shot it was quite pleasant, almost 70 degress.



























The best from Germany, and Italy's latest and greatest in for a new car prep.

 

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?

 

They remove it and replace it from what i've seen.

 

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???

 

This? It's less then 1 inch..
