1989 Porsche Speedster + 930 Slantnose Turbo...

Two Porsches originally booked for "light correction" and cleanups which ended up becoming moderate paint correction and light restorative detail work on both vehicles.

First, 89' Speedster...

Wheels and tires cleaned with light mix of AutoGlym CWC 1:1

Paint looked like this before correction up close...

After all prep, claying and paint readings the correction process started on the single stage paint.

Paint correction carried out with M105, Menzerna Powerfinish and PO85rd

Some correction shots...

Under the Fenix LED @ 640lumens

Pads after polishing single stage paint...

All plastic and rubber trim was treated with Pre-Wow and then Black Wow, prior all trim was scrubbed clean with isopropyl alch. to remove old dressing and dirt

Using a foam detail stick to dress the engine cover

After

Interior treated with Leatherique, doorjambs lightly polished and waxed, door trim dressed etc.

Faded door latch before..

Interior finished

Final photos:

Inside for the final wipedown before delivery...

Next: 930 Slantnose Turbo Cab

The condition of this car was actually a bit worse than the Speedster, the finish lacking in gloss and clarity and the trim work looking very dry and faded.

Sometimes picking up defects on white is hard to show on camera so here is a 50/50 using just the T8 setup in my garage to show the difference in color and clarity...

4"pads used to polish near the window cowl

Wing rubber needed multiple applications of black wow to restore a natural black sheen..

Fan cover before...

After..

LSP: Werkstat AJT x3

Finished shots..

Total time: About 40hrs. between the 2 cars.

Thanks for reading!

All the best,

Dave
