Hi There



My last detail was to me a dream came true, detailing a Porsche 911 Turbo (996) from 2001

and after it driving it "freely" :grinno:

Well my day started real early because i live near Lisboa and the detail were in Porto , 350 kms from my house.. :rolleyes: , after a 2 hour drive i started detailing my dream car.



The 996 was medium swirled but heavy holograms were present, a dealership bonus after one maintenance :furious:

The hood also with swirls and holograms, it has to be a PRO to make something like this :wall

The interior was clean but needed some work on the plastics and leather.

My setup :



- Washed and clayed

- LC Orange pad with IP and PC x 2

- LC Black pad with PO85RD

_ Pwc Blue

- Nattys blue



During the polishing as you can see, 2 passes of orange pad with IP , cleaned almost 100% the swirls and 100% the holograms, i just love

Menzerna :)

The car is owned by a Professional Race driver, and as you can see the 996 gets the full treatment from the owner ( last trackday at Estoril Race



Track )

The interior was conditioned with PB Natural look, metalic parts polished with 1z PP and waxed with OCW.

In the end i was allowed to take a drive, and taste what 420 hp can do for a man like me :D



Akele abraço
 
Nice work, the before and after of the rear really shows what you were able to accomplish. Even in the night shots, the paint looks very wet. :)
 
Must've been really butchered for swirls and holograms to show so obviously on silver metallic.

Great job on getting it to the way it should be.
 
You just had to go ahead and post pics of my car, didn't you?? LOL. Awesome detail on an awesome car. Great job!
 
awesome work ! awesome car and awesome country of Portugal ! Oh how i miss the Estoril circuit in F1 and the days of pedro lamy.. Go Tiago Monteiro !! Go !
