Teamspeed.com - 2010 Porsche 997 Carrera S Cabriolet Detail (Jet Black)

Recently completed, this 2010 Porsche 997 Carrera S Cabriolet was pre-owned and my new client had seen my work and felt I could restore this vehicle for him. The car had many issues as the poor car had been neglected badly and frankly this is what I do is fix bad issues when they exist.

Wheels with embedded brake dust and grime.

After a deep cleaning wash and decon, I started with the front bumper which was in sorry shape.

On the rear bumper the top edges were really scratched and had water spots, so out came the taillights to gain access and I found a little built up dirt.

Applied HD fabric protector, looks like beading from a coating and the client liked the demonstration of blowing the water off which looked like ball bearings on the top.

Now outside for some sun pics, the sun was not real strong as I had hoped but the deep clear finish is there to see. This job was real satisfying as this client waited over 93 days for a appointment as I have been booked that tight and this car needed four plus days to complete right................. He said "I will wait as you are my guy" and the look on his face when he saw the car said it all(Car was outside in the sun).
