Porsche Boxster Spyder Correction Detail

A new client sought me out to correct the issues on his CPO Porsche, which the finish had deep scratches and marring. Daniel from Car Connoisseur helped also on this vehicle and his work ethic and skillset are topnotch and we team up well on vehicles.

Preparing for the 1.75 hour wash/decon step.

Overspray issues, which was odd as Daniel and I could not find evidence of a re-spray or the job was OE quality.

The marring was so deep , I had to remove the OE badge and later would put a new one back on but with a unique change that I think looked good.
