06 Porsche 997 C4S Cab Restorative Detail
Longtime client, I have done this vehicle many times in the past years however the car "Got away" from my client and I had not seen the vehicle in two years................... it was VERY bad. It is a daily driver with over 100,000 miles on the odometer so you have to love a guy who actually "Drives the car".
Dirty and crusty as it was brought in.
Convertible top with bird poop dropping.
Stains and coffee cup ring staining as well.
After a 2.0 hour wash, Daniel from Car Connoisseur utilizing the surface prep towel to decon the finish.
The clearfilm was really bad, bird poop etch scratches and water etch................. this would take the better part of 3.5 hours during the heavy correction to fix the film.
Initial 50/50's of the trunk film.
Daniel working on the rear decklid area.
50/50 on the drivers door.
Daniel on the passenger door.
Engine bay had not seen me in LONGtime.
During the wash step we cleaned as much as possible on the face and barrels of the wheels, here I am dismounting the wheels as they would nedd much more effort to remove the embedded brake dust on the spokes and barrels of the "Lobster fork" forged OE wheels.
Time to finish the job right, and remove old wheel weight tape residue and embedded crud.
Both Daniel and I would spend time on the wheels, he spent more and did outstanding work as usual.

SupercleaNESS.
Wheel wells were as bad as it gets............................
During cleaning.
Rear bumper had been re-sprayed and was shrunk up bad, note Daniel's reflection is dull and hazy.
After heavy cutting, reflections have restored clarity.
Mats were toast, but we deep cleaned them anyway.
After.
Greasy keyhole.
Cleaned up.
More marring.
Corrected.
All finished, the vehicle is now clean and protected and regular scheduled intervals will keep it this way.
Engine bay looking new once again.
Convertible top restored to new.

Clearfilm restored.
Clear reflections while sun was behind the clouds of the film on the trunk.
It is possible to have this kind of mileage and have the car look like this with proper work completed on it.
