mothers clay worked awesome on my friend's 95 BMW. Made the paint oo so smooth :xyxthumbs . Props to DK on the tiregel!
Can you guys post more pics of TW tire gel outside during the sunny day, please. DK's pics are great but I want to see others before I try it.
Clay rocks!
BTW I found Clay Magic to be easier to work with than Mother's. It's softer, will change shape easier when gliding over contoured surfaces, both will do the job well.
And one more - Clay Magic is cheaper, only $9.99 from Auto Zone.

Do I ever steer you wrong?! he he he
F1crazy--> there is not much about it not to like. If you like a product that goes on easy, lasts, and does not discolor tires, get it. You can play around with the gloss factor depending on how much you apply, how long you wait to buff, or how damp you make the applicator. If you buff quickly, it is not that glossy. If you let it dry and never buff, it comes out VERY glossy.......
Sad thing is, not everyone will be able to try it.....looks like when current inventories deplete...........thats it!

Just completed, this customer saw some of my write ups and was interested in what I could do for his Porsche as it some cosmetic "Issues" and he wanted his new car to look well....."New".
With only 6k miles or so the car needed light correction mostly but some areas required a little more attention such as the front and rear bumpers and wing.
Car as it came in.......
Dried out trim and spots.
Cluster of sand scratches.
Corrected.
Reverse angle of sand scratches.
All gone......
Right rear quarter(Which the client was concerned with..).
After.
Drivers door corrected.
Decent marring on lower rocker.
Corrected.
Left side front bumper was hazy with some kind of overspray, would require some aggressive correction to fix the issue.
After compounding & polishing, reflection of the halogen lights have clarity and gloss now.
Right side of the bumper had the same issue.

Wing was marred up pretty good, so again some considerable time was spent to correct the scratches.
After initial compounding step.
Sand scratches on the wing, this was suprising as Porsche only has defects on the bumpers mostly.
After.
Sand scratches on right side of the rear bumper.
After.
On the home stretch......wheels dialed in, with calipers cleaned/polish/waxed.
Paint finished down pre-lsp.
Front splitter dressed to a matte finish.
Trunk area dressed to a matte finish(Say no to shine & grease lol).
Interior looking sharp.

Bob,
Great job. I love that car and you certianly did it some justice for sure. Did you find that paint Hard, Soft or in the middle? I have a White 911 TTS and also have some light to Medium marring on the bumper above the License plate. I have been gun shy to take a machine to it.
Did you dismount the wheels to get the calibers waxed? Those centerlocks are rumored to be a pain to remove and re-install. Curious what you think if you removed them.
Thanks for the post. Love to see these frst thing in the AM.
Have a nice weekend!
Jeff

Now that's another example of Auto Concierge "Tightness". Well done Bob. I just love the GT3. It's a fine example of the "killer" German Engineering!:thumbup:

Thanks for the comments, no I did not dismount them(But I can with the help of James @ Sharkwerks as they have the torque wrench 2K plus tool btw and you need two people to do the job as one person has to have the foot on the brake) just moved the car until the caliper was exposed enough to get to it with my "Snasage fingers"(I could pull this off but no way could "The Bing" with his "Rawlings catchers mitt hands" lol).
Have a Black GT3RS to do @ Sharkwerks(Yes I am down the street....but the car has no transmission in it) which the wheels will come off as it was on the recent "One lap of America" and is HAMMERED!!.
