GP Automotive Renewal Service: Phase3/Paint Correction - asofine's 993 C4S
This all started with a thread back in October when we finished our documentary video. An avid Porschephile, asofine, began inquiring about our renewal service. One of his three 911s happened to be in SoCal and we decided to take her on as a project. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.
Typical dust and grime on seat rails. We lift up seat to clean rails
Engine cleaned using a safe citrus-based cleaner
Wheels cleaned using a safe pH-balanced Gel wheel cleaner
Wheels further cleaned using a unique polishing soap. We don't use any harsh chemicals or acids
Natural lambs wool mitt rinsed, then panel is rinsed
All glass surfaces are clayed as well as the paint
Notice how yellow the stone guard has become over the years
Parts are skillfully removed and cataloged for re-installation. This is where having a Porsche specialist is a must. Not only can parts not mysteriously go missing, but everything has to go back to pre-removal condition...just cleaner
Tools of the trade. Ultrasonic paint depth gauge lets the technician know how much paint is left on the metal. This paints a picture of current condition and health of paint, while letting technician know how much material can safely be removed to achieve the best possible paint appearance
