Envious Detailing: Porsch turbo correction - extensive hood repair

[Envious Eric]

2001 996 Black Porsche Turbo



Previous client of mine who will never be going elsewhere again!



Apparently, he had a friend come over and “get a scratch out of his hood. Things weren’t going so well in that area, and it made the area worse. Well, in order to not have a square section in the hood look different, the whole hood was “polished out” to make it blend…



I arrived to find a slightly dirty car, but the front end looked like something else was going on as it was VERY hazy and dull before I washed the car. Once I got it cleaned up, I was left with the truth!



Total time – 10 hours

Process:

Decon wash, clay, wheels/tires

3 steps of polishing on the hood alone

2 steps of polishing on the rest of the car

Sealant wax application

Interior spruce up, leather conditioning, uv protection





Here are some befores of the car

Here are the dramatic 50/50 shots while fixing the hood

Here are the after shots I was able to get – still had another car to detail after this one as well at his place to “see what you can do in a couple hours on it – old beater mustang”

That’s all! Thanks for looking! Comments welcomed! Don’t forget to check out the facebook for Envious Detailing and LIKE it and view more “in progress pics” as the days go on!

To be honest, I agree Scott!!! Worst I have ever done! But luckily it was porsche softer black paint, but then again, thats why it was so bad too!

Man.... it takes some serious talent to get buffer trails like that! Must have been using a wool pad on its side to do that much damage.



Excellent turnaround Eric!

Wish that black G37 I did had softer paint.... :lol

 

[JohnKleven]

Awesome work. Did the owner even know that his car was black before? What a turn around!!!

Hopefully his "Friend" ponied-up for the bill!! Nice save!

It wont be long now before those 50/50 shots start showing up on Craigslist ads everywhere! Well done sir.

I was going to say the same thing about "worst I have ever seen". Good job bringing a great car back to right. Those wheels combined with the rotors and brakes is the sex.

Amazing turnaround buddy! I don't think I could purposely make the hood look that bad killer save!

 

[PhatHoodDetail]

its nice to see someone who knows what he's doing and can show such a dramatic difference, keeps us all in business. thanks envious!!!

 

[Alexshimshimhae]

man...granted the only porsche i worked on was old..those paints sure can be a PITA. Masterfully done maestro!

 

[Envious Eric]

Yeah guys, I would have had to TRY and do that much damage to the hood!!! I dont get how you can sit back and say, "yeah that looks ok"



oh well, keeps us in business!

 

[Barry Theal]

Very well done Eric! Dramtic results. Those need to be on your webpage asap!

 

[Greg Nichols]

I cannot think of "field of buffer trails" any worse than what you had to contend with on that hood. Amazing turn around. You need to watermark your photos!



Cheers,
