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.



Citrus based degreaser doing it's thing.



True codition of the paint.









The correction.

Under the LED.



50/50







Spoiler 50/50



Here I had already removed the poser GT3 emblem.



50/50





Tail light before.



After.



Decklid corrected.

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!
