Porsche correction

I don't know if this is a 996 or 997 I'm still trying to learn them all HAHAHA.

They called me for a full correction, some of the panels weren't that bad but others were wrecked. The wing being carbon fiber took a lot work.



First washed the car with Dawn, I then foamed the car down with DP extreme foam soap, and clayed with Megs white.



Once the car was dried I taped it up and inspected the work.

Did some testing and some panels(hood, roof, and wing) required 105/pfw on the rotary. While the rest of the car I used 105/orange on the flex. I finished down with white pad/flex/SIP and then once again with flex/green pad/Menz final polish.

Wing after, like I said earlier this took a lot of passes. I think it was 4 passes with the wool and 105 and some pressure. Very stubborn!

Here are some afters. I took the car back outside for another foam wash, I let the foam sit on the paint for a few minutes and then washed the car. No beading, no nothing. I rather do this than an IPA spray. This has worked for me for a while now and in some instinces I have found left over holograms so this tells me washing this way works to remove left over oils. The Porsche was waxed with SV Concorso

2007 Yeah I was never really a Porsche fan myself but that was before I have worked on them a lot at this shop and after the owner gave me a ride in his HEAVILY modified 996 pushing over 1000 to the tires. Talk about being terrified! It was the most amazing ride I have ever had, but seeing what those cars can do....plus it was a daily driver, a/c works, passes inspection, everything. Just amazing little cars.

Thanks Scott, I wish I had my SLR for the pictures, they came out a little blurry but yeah, I like the last shot as well.
 
Cool man thanks Rogue, its hard for me to tell with those cars. Some times they'll tell me to go in the shop and give them a quote on the 996 or 997 or 993 and I look in the shop and see Porsches everywhere....I can't tell whats what so they have to point it out. LOL

996's have one peice head lights, easiest way to tell them apart. This does look like a 996 twin turbo with aero mods.



997's look like 996's but have the headlight and blinker serperate.



993's look like 997's but look smaller, also the last of the aircooled 911s, and most will say, the best looking model (and I would be one of them).



All things aside, this a bada$$ ride done right, nice job!
