This is a detail of a 2006 Porsche Carrera 4S convertible that I had the opportunity to detail yesterday. As most of you know the weather here in the Northeast is not conducive to detailing but when this client asked that I work on this car how could I resist. It truly is a work of art with at the 3.8 liter engine putting out 355 HP.

I had alot to deal with besides the cold. The client was having a ton of landscaping and they were tearing up the ground with compressed air, blowing leaves and stuff all over the place, and planting trees. All and all I was able to work around it. I was really rushing to get the car outside before it got dark. I had to pull the car out before I was completely done just to get these shots. Please excuse some of the areas that may have not been wiped down completely. I was able to spend about an hour after the photos and the depature of the landscapers to finish up the small details.

The client is taking delivery of a new white Audi R8 on Friday so hopefully Saturday I will be giving it some TLC.

wow, great work. Black cars are so hard to keep looking good.

 

I wish that I lived closer to you. I've got an 08 997 TT Cab that I'd love to be detailed like that black cab. Nice job. I live in Allentown.

 

work looks awsome, i really like they way black comes out when it is done right.

 

nice work Pat

 

You missed a spot under the dash in the passenger side!

JK - looks awesome!

 

Trust me between rushing to get some pics before it got dark and dodging the landscapers I had to spend about another 1 1/2 hours going over the car once I got it back inside the garage. All in all it was a fun car to work on.
