Teamspeeds Car of the Year: Porsche GT3 RS 4.0
Finally got my hands on a 4.0 and it really is an awesome car, minus some factory defects of course. This is a great addition to the best collection on TS!
White wheels set the car off very well, cleaned up with gentle wheel cleaner and water no need for Sonax on this car with the PCCBs
Washed with citrus wash after an OPC pre-soak to remove dealer applied wax
Some sun shots of factory defects, swirls haze, hgolograms and tons of pigtailing
Holograms
Close up
Rear bumper area had more severe defects, sand scratches and pigtailing mostly. While these days I always choose a DA for correction on sticky Porsche paint it was doing next to nothing for removing the deeper defects. Out with the metabo rotary and a detailersdomain yellow cutting pad. Cranked up to about 2100rpm to yield good correction...
Couple sun shots post correction
Finishing stage carried out with the Meguairs finishing disc and 106fa, I initially did not like this pad but on certain paints it does work well... I'll give you a hint soft black is not of them :shakehead:
Cargo area vacuumed and all plastics treated with 303 protectant
Carbon hood underside cleaned using Swissvax Opaque pre-cleaner
Engine carbon polished by hand and protected with Wolfs Body Wrap. LSP for the car was also Wolfs Body Wrap
Final shots...
Thanks for reading
All the best,

Well done! I would go ballistic at the dealer if I paid for a new 4.0 and it came with that kind of defects. You brought it up to your standards and it shows. 
I have to comment on the wheels - I love'm. The black wheel look is so dull and tired. I'm glad to see someone order wheels that you can see!
