Thumbs up Carrera GT in for service and detailing

My best client and dear friend was due to have a major service carried out on his Porsche Carrera GT last month, so while it was there at Reading OPC being ripped to bits and having the engine out for valve clearances and clutch measured etc, we thought what better time to clean the car like never before!!

All the undertrays and arches were removed and cleaned, all the paintwork protection film was removed, any paintwork correction carried out that was needed under the film, any stone chips to be touched in, clean and protect the wheels inside and out, clean and protect the carbon tub, engine bay etc and with the seats removed from the car, we were able to get to all the carbon in the interior and protect it like never before, a new windscreen was also being fitted along with all new paint protection film fitted by Paintshield after the detail had been completed which included the whole front end being protected this time. And what an amazing job these guys carry out, totally flawless!!

Over all the car took about 3 days to fully detail with 3 layers of Swissvax Crystal Rock wax applied to the paintwork, Gtechniq protecting the wheels and windows, and Zaino Z2 pro protecting the carbon fibre. The Porsche mechanics had the car for over a three weeks and spent a good 80 hours plus removing all the bits that needed cleaning from the car, including the engine, front end, seats, arches and all the undertrays etc, as well as checking camshafts, clutch, brakes, valve clearances and replacing coil packs.

The Euro CGT's look better than the U.S CGT with the ugly reflectors.
