Ok, so here is a Porsche 911 Carrera I did just last month. It wasn't horrible, but could definitely benefit from some paint correction.
Swirls, Water spots, RIDS, & Bird poo etching where all over this car. Nothing a 1 Step couldn't handle or at least improve!
So I got started with the wheels
Products used:
-Diablo wheel gel(4:1)
-Grime reaper APC (4:1)
-Wheel woolies
-Race glaze brush
-Misc. brushes
-Hydro2
Quite the dust buildup
After Wheels, Tires & Arches were cleaned; Rims got some Hydro2 action to help protect them.

I then moved on to all exterior plastics & Exhausts
Products used:
-Grime reaper APC (4:1)
-Race glaze brush
-Misc. Brushes
Plastics under rear deck lid
On rear bumper
Right exhaust
Gas cap area
I then washed,stripped the car of any LSPs, & Clayed the car. Some of the defects present at the time.
Gotta love the "Hips" on these cars!
Bird drop etching
All taped up & ready for some polishing!
Call me crazy, but for a few seconds... i actually liked the way the green tape accented the car!!
Now onto the polishing. Few before & afters.
Products used:
-Rupes 15
-Orange B&S pads
-HD Adapt
-Harbor freight DA with 3" adapter
-Orange LC Hydrotech pads
50/50 of trim with Black Wow Pro
Once done with polishing. It was given a good IPA wipedown & toppped with Collinite 845
Few shots once it was finished inside
Few pics of it outside when i came back for its next wash. Tried getting sun pics but there always seems to be an outcast when i go. Or the sun is out of direct sight when i get to it.
Beading shot of good ol' 845
All in all, I think it came out great for a 1 Step. Obviously not perfect but pretty close.
Thanks for looking guys!
