Lotus 2 Eleven + Porsche Cayman R details and paint correction

Full details and paint correction on a Lotus 2 Eleven and Porsche Cayman R

First the Lotus, due to the car having no roof of any kind a gentle ONR wash was done opposed to a full 2 bucket suds fest.

Paint condition was okay, just some wash marring and a select few areas with RIDs and fine scratches. D300, M105, Powerfinish and Menzerna PO85rd were all used during the correction stage.

All decals and graphics taped off before polishing!

Initial condition...

50:50

Before

After

Rear bumper took a little more abuse than the rest of the car, few extra passes required to yield full correction

Smaller griots machine was used to polish beneath the wing

Final shots...

Next: Porsche Cayman R

No pictures of the process. This was a 2 step paint correction followed by Aquartz.

My favorite...

Thanks for reading!

All the best,

Dave
