Got my 997 Professionally Detailed
After years of abuse and 4 owners I thought it was time to have a professional perform a full detail & paint correction on my 997. Here are the results.
I think it came out pretty well considering it has over 75k miles and counting.

Wow, that looks fantastic as in like new. Did you have lots of chips on the nose and hood to get a respray. I assume the interior looks just as nice.
What does a pro detail like that run $$?

While not cheap, I consider it money well spent since the car was filthy and in need of a good polish. It still has a number of rock chips that will be corrected with a re-spray once I hit 100k+ miles.

I wish we had some before pics and more after pics. I could look at before/after pro detail pics all day!
edit - did you have them remove the stone guards or were they taken off before? Do you plan on replacing them?

I have new stone guards which I'll be putting on shortly after I apply some touch up paint to existing rock chips.

I paid around $600 for a wash, stage 1 paint correction, interior detail, and engine bay detail. Here are pictures of the interior and engine bay.

It took him a little more than 2 days to knock it out. Although he pushed to finish it before the storm, otherwise I would have left it longer. There's no point in rushing a good detailer.
