Not a neglected car, but obviously no stranger to the automatic carwash. This 2000 Carrera needed a good buff to remove 5 years of wash swirls. A thorough buff with Meg's SFP (Edge Blue Foam) at 1500 RPM's took car of the swirls, and a final pass with #9 (Edge white foam) seamed to really finesse the finish back for a coat of UPP, and an EZ Paste topper.
The Carrera emblem on the back had to be removed with a heat gun a scraper and some New Car Solvent to remove the residual adhesive.
SFP is aggressive enough to remove most wash swirls, but it must be worked thoroughly to adquately buffer the abrasives. Failure to work this product long enough will leave behind buffer swirls that will be evident once in direct sunlight.
The paint was a very dark metalic blue, and although I do not know the name of the color, it would definitely be a top choice of mine if in the market for a Porsche !!!

It looks great Dean but you are going to have to let me drive it before I can make a final decision.

Dean,
Great car, wonderful detail work....especially if it was as cold as it looks:shocked
The color is, I believe, Lapis Blue Metallic.
I have also not forgotten about sending you that sample
Take care,
Anthony
