This is my neighbor's gorgeous '97 993 Carrera 4S with a whopping 26,000 miles. Prepare yourselves for the least exciting before & after ever. The photos do this car absolutely no justice. Between no sun, silver paint, and the photography skill of a chimpanzee, the quality of the car doesn't come through very well. Plus, it wasn't in bad shape to begin with. The paint had a bit of oxidation which 'whitened' the paint. Not much contamination either, but the paint lacked the 'snap' of the gloss that belonged there. Why can't all cars be this wonderful to work on?
Process:
The UNO 3.0 finished down very well, but since I had just gotten the D301, I figured I'd give it a try and was impressed. The improvement in gloss was noticeable, but I'm anxious to try it on a dark color where I think it will be even more obvious. I'll get to see the car again tomorrow, and look forward to see how the Poxy looks after having a couple days to cure, as I noticed a nice improvement on my own Arctic Silver car. Anyway, on to the (underwhelming) pictures.
