PS Detailed: 2004 Porsche 996 Turbo in Basalt Black

Thanks to Phil from Detailers Domain for the invite. Great looking site!

This 996 Turbo has 13k miles and the client was ready to take the paint to another level.

The Turbo is lowered with TechArt springs and I love the HREs.

Before I picked up the car, the client had just returned from a w/e of driving in the North GA mountians. I can't think of a more perfect way to spend a w/e.

Before pics:















I started by rinsing off the wheels, wells and tires with my PW at a safe distance.

The wheels where cleaned with P21s wheel cleaning gel, a blonde boars hair brush, swissvax brush, EZ detail brush and a MF mit.

Tires and wells where cleaned with Amazing Roll-off 1:1 water and various brushes.

Everything was given a through rinse with my PW at a safe distance.

I then foamed up the car with 2oz of CGCWC, 1 oz of Zaino Z7 and the rest of my 32oz foam lance botttle fill with water.



After allowing the foam to dwell, I rinsed off the car with my PW.

I then performed the Valu-gard ABC paint decontamination wash.

I used the valu-gard soap in my foam canon for the last step.

Rinsed everything off and brought the car inside where I clayed the paint while wet using Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.

Some after wash and clay pics:



















I then taped up all the trim in preparation for polishing.

I used my usual KBM via orange LC classic foam pad, New M105 and PC6.

Both of these pics are after M105 and 3x straight IPA wipedowns:





Followed M105 with M205 using a Classic LC black pad via KBM PC6.

Rear plastic taillight lenses polished with M105/orange/PC6 followed by M205/black/PC6.

I cropped these pics out.

Before



After



Foamed and washed the car via 2BM and a sheepshin mit to remove any polishing dust/oils.

Straight IPA wipedown followed by a Z6 wipedown.

Applied 2x of Z5pro with ZFX to paint and side glass. Followed by Z8 to paint and side glass.

Cleaned front and rear glass with straight IPA and applied Aquapel to both.

Tires got Z-16 and wheels got ZAIO.

Exhaust tips polished with M105 by hand and finished with ZAIO.

All exterior trim treated w/ 1Z einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care & Protectant "Tiefenpfleger"

Interior-

Vac

Door jambs and all CF trim on interior hand polished with ZAIO and finished with Z8.

Leather surfaces cleaned and conditioned with Zaino Z9/10.

Hard surfaces cleaned with 1Z einszett Plastic Vinyl Deep Cleaner "Plastik-Reiniger."

Hard surfaces protected with 1Z einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care & Protectant "Tiefenpfleger"

Glass cleaned with IG.

Here are a few inside halogen pics:
