Smoke Detailed - A Porsche nonetheless...

Its no GT2 but it came out clean at least

This was a complete interior and exterior detail, no polishing or correction work was done on this one. For such a small car it sure did take a while to complete but in the end as always it was worth the time and effort put in and the owner was very appreciative.

Started at around 9am and finished at 5pm

I started with the interior



After


Finishing up the passenger side







I polished and wax the door shuts



I bagged all of the owners personal belongings and packed them neatly back in the center console



After the interior was finished I moved onto the wash, starting with the wheels.

As you can see there was a good amount of brake dust

The after



After the wheels were cleaned I proceeded to apply wheel wax and let it cure for about 15minutes and then buffed off. This was probably the last time I will use wheelwax as its a paint to apply and buff off. I may just use some old Zaino Z2pro I have left and top it with Z-CS for the added protection and durability.


Next up wash the was process. I began with a thorough pressure wash of the rag top and then it was scrubbed clean with Raggtopp cleaner and protectant.



After the wash, clay and application of Gloss Finish...

Carpets behind the seats were cleaned with a light spray of Folex and a stiff brush and then vacuumed clean. The floormat carpets up front were pre treated with Folex then lightly extracted with a Bissell little green machine
(proheat model) usings Megs APC+ as the heated solution, then brushed again and vacuumed.
