1990 Porsche Carrera 4 Exterior Detail
 

Recently completed detail @ my shop, this vehicle came to me thru one of the guys who work @ Premier(Greg) as he is a family friend. Pretty well cared for Porsche for it's age and had a paint to match color according to the client(90's Corvette hue).

When the client brought the car for a estimate he thought there was not much I could do to improve the finish............... he knows different as of today(lol).

Here I am prepping the areas to be wrapped by Premier.

This finish was a re-spray, as the client told me the car was damaged as new and PNA re-painted it when they were located in Reno NV. Very nice paint but a few issues I cleared up such as shrink and wetsanding scratches/tracers in a few spots like here under the drivers door handle.

Part of this job was to correct and restore the trim which was "Dryness" after 21 years.....

nice job bob. so the car wasn't driven much? i don't see any rock chips.

Superb! What are you using to get the trim back in shape?

Excellent work!

x2 what was used to clean it and restore it, looks like it did a GREAT job.

Great work! I wonder how old the wax build-up on that mirror trim was? It looked like it had been that way for a long time.

You turned a good car into a show car. ;)

It had been there for a LONGTIME.....in my opinion of course(lol), thanks for the kudos and yes the car is looking it's best now.
