2011 Midnight Blue 997 Turbo New Car Prep
Completed recently in the shop, this beautiful Porsche Turbo is eight months old and needed some light correction along with dry trim and aftermarket wheels(Forgeline Centerlock Conversion) that are gloss black and had some marring.
During the wash/decon steps
Sonax FE doing it's job.
The top surfaces and especially the rear of the car had some contaminates as the clay I am holding shows.
The vehicle did not have severe defects(As it was new) but there were sections that did need aggressive compounding to correct those defects, like here on the righ front quarter.
Utilized Megs M101 and some new pads that are in development with Meguiars(Cannot give details at this time) to level the defects.
Marring and a few RIDS on the rear wing.
Finish now level and free of marring.
Cluster of RIDS on drivers rear quarter.
Defects corrected, and the pad/buffer haze from the compounding was removed quickly on th next step (D330 cutting disc).
Some more marring.
Removing defects on the door edge(Lift makes this task much easier as I can position the vehicle exactly where needed).
Vehicle finished down right before LSP was applied.
Applied CG "Lava Wax" as I was in LA recently and stopped by CG and Paul gave me some to try, applied to this car and my work truck and it is a great wax as it comes off very easily as advertised(Truth in advertising is rare lol)and it is in the starting line up for me as a go to LSP.

Sun pics to show of the "Tightness" of this beautiful "Twinnie".
Interior was "As new" so no before and after pics required.
Customer leaving the shop with the "Show and go", next up is his new to him Ford GT Grey with stripe delete and over 700HP.
