WOW Dave. You did a great job on a georgeous car.

You do the best write-ups (your detailing work isn't too bad either);)

One question though. I noticed you used CC CW + Dawn. Why mix he two. Wont the CW strip the LSP on it's own?

The CG citrus wash (not the citrus + gloss one) is great and pretty slick but you need quite a bit to fully strip LSP, so I pour in part of that in and a good bit of dawn to ensure im stripping off at least most of the LSP, plus its more economical. At $10 for 8oz I wont use 2-3oz per wash! I buy dawn in the big bottle for cheap :clap:

Excellent writeup David! That thing is just gorgeous. Phenominal work.

That last shot is really something special.

Oh, what is that backing plate you're using with the 3" pads?

That is the detailersdomain 3", good for low profile areas

I didnt spend 20hrs polishing, the finish did not need heavy correction. From start to finish is was 20hrs.

Beautiful!!!:clap: What did you use to clean and condition the alcantara?

Leather masters product for protection. Cleaning consisted of simply a thorough vacuum.
 
You know I'm a fan David, great work once again.

The correction and pictures are a work of art.

Keep up the good work so I can keep learning from you :thumbup:
 
The 997.2 GT3 is nothing short of amazing.

You did an great job on this one! Thanks for the time you took to write this up and share your work.
 
I love this shot! I can see this hanging in a nice black semi-gloss frame. (Sorry, that's the Martha Stewart in me coming out)

I was wondering if you could please offer some tail light polishing tips? I'm always impressed with the way yours come out. I just recently sanded some and compounded them with M105/PWF/Flex 3401 and they didn't come out nearly as nice as yours do.

^^ I never use wool on tails, for this car it was M105 on a yellow DD cuting pad, 1500rpm down to 1200 followed by 106FA on a green polishing pad same RPM.

I like to use a small foam, small BP and just work the area with slow passes, they clean up easier than the paint.
