Preview of incoming 45 plus hour correction This is a 2002 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet(black of course) that was in VERY poor condition, my client picked up the car used and has Sharkwerks go thru and upgrade many parts of the car ie:Suspension, wheels, exhaust, software etc..... and after they were done the car was brought to my shop for some restorative correction. Initial condition of the finish.... http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03004.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03006.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03011.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03013.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03017.jpg Passenger side door http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03014.jpg 50/50 pic of the same door after wool pad correction http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03025.jpg The hood http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03012.jpg 50/50 pic after compounding http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03035.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03037.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03038.jpg Hope to be finished by Wednesday |

03 Porsche Carrera 45 hour plus correction & detail As promised here is the write up on recently completed correction on a Porsche in DIRE need of restorative correction. As I have already put up some initial pics I will start with the actual detail. Here is the start of the job, the top was very dirty so I scrubbed with a paint safe citrus cleaner http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03019.jpg Every crevice was cleaned with a 3" boarshair brush http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03020.jpg After the car was washed and clayed(3 hours total required)due to dealer applied sealant.....(not good) I brought the car into the shop and put it on the lift as this would be a wheels off correction. Note the hazy appearance of the passenger door caused by a re-spray so there was shrinkage to contend with http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03023.jpg Door was taped off and a game plan of correction procedures was carried out, I would end up with two compounding stages and three polishing stages http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03025.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03026.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03027.jpg Next is pics of the hood being corrected, this pic shows what a PAPER TOWEL can do to the finish!! http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03034.jpg Hood taped off for 50/50 pics http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03035.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03038.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03042.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03043.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03037.jpg The rear decklid "Carrera" badge was removed and replaced due to the marring in that area, also the badge was oldness and crusty and would have ruined the tightness of the soon to be corrected paint http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03045.jpg Here is a before of the rear left quarter panel http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03049.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03050.jpg After compounding http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03052.jpg Again before... http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03051.jpg After http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03055.jpg A cluster of deep RIDS that required sanding with 2500 and 4000 grit paper http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03057.jpg After levelling and correction http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03058.jpg Lower left rear quarter before http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03060.jpg After compounding http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/DSC03062.jpg |
