This is an 07 Midnight Blue Metallic Porsche Carrera S. This is one of the richer, more complex colors I've ever worked with. Upon first seeing the car, I noticed the extremely dull paint alongside moderate swirling on every single panel. After polishing, the paint burst to life, revealing a deep metallic blue with hints of lavender.

Wow!

 

Good job!

Jason

 

I'll be calling in the next month or so. My car needs your services. Very nice work.

 

Great job guys!

 

I never got why detailers tape of a section of a panel, don't you risk to either miss a small section being taped off twice or either being polished twice. :confusedface:

 

Great job!!! Beautiful

 

What products did you use? Did you use a rotary, PC, or Flex? Which pads and polishes?
CATTMAN

 

After getting a new 997.2, how long should you wait before detailing it? Does the paint have to "cure"?
I have heard of cars being detailed, similar to what you do, at the dealer before delivery.

 

Thank you for the very kind words everyone!

Sounds good, looking forward to hearing from you!

I do it to show the contrast between the original paint and what I'm capable of doing with a polisher. I don't run any risks mainly because I tape very accurately whenever I polish.

Rotary, orange and white pads, and all Menzerna polishes like SIP.

It's safe to clay bar the car when the car is delivered, but I would wait three months or so with any new car before polishing the paint. If you polish too soon, you'll burn right through the clear coat.

 

And here are some shots of the car the next morning - unfortunately, it was overcast, but I gotta tell you Eric's work is out of this world.

Thanks again, Eric!

 

Really impressive! Thanks for sharing.

 

Looks like a R8. We'll need before and after photos of that too.

 

Nice job Eric, my car still looks great as well!
