2004 Porsche Carrera Full Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing
 

I was called in to bring this 2004 Porsche back to a respectable state.

It's a Carrera but had the GT3 decklid and the GT3 emblem, the dealer wanted the emblem removed as it was causing some confusion to potential buyers.

The paint was covered in hard water spots, holograms and RIDS.

All trim was dried out as well.

Before:

Water was beading, indicating prior LSP had been applied and needed to be stripped off.

Thanks for looking.

nice work.

fwiw, i heard about an 02 C4S cab go to an auction and sold for 24k. i dont know the mileage or anything about condition, but thats a deal!

Those after shots are incredible compared to the initial condition. You definitely have some incredible talent bring a car back to life.

Thanks for the pictures!

Very nice! People were really confusing a carrera with a gt3 just because of an emblem and trunk?
