Porsche 911 Carrera
I get to Detail this Stunning example of a 911 every 6 months or so to keep it in tip top shape, This would be my 3rd visit to this car. There is literally 1 single little Dent on this car... Otherwise it is near 99% perfect. A Truly magnificent kept car.

I blustery and very cold Cape Town Sunday was the order of the day for me.

I used the Polishing Pad with Menzerna Final Finish Combo.
And LSP was Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0.

RE: Porsche 911 Carrera
Great work. Judging by the state of the front right, I presume this car doesnt get out much.

Turned your polishing pads into cutting pads Bluebiggrin.

On a serious note though, when you next get to treat this old lady you should consider adding a pure polish step - something like M81, Deep Crystal Polish or the fabled M07. The single stage paints usually respond very well to a pure polish.

RE: Porsche 911 Carrera
Hi Woodie,

Yes the 2nd time i treated this car I used the Meguiars M07 show Car Glaze and applied it by hand.
That was after about 3 months after the 1st treatment I had done.

This time the car had been standing uncovered exposed to elements for about 8 months I would say.
So the paint had really lost it's shine and lustre.

hence why I decided to go with the Meguiars Yellow Polishing pad and Menzerna Final Finish Polish with a 40% cut. I also never went beyond speed 2 on the Makita and kept the pressure very light on the head of the machine.

I do realise that with a car being this old that one needs to really be gentle and careful as not to remove too much paint from the car.

I also ended up using 3 pads over the car. As soon as I could see that the pad was getting stained I would change over to a fresh pad.

This was purely a 2 step Detail... step 1 the Menzerna Final Finish and step 2 the wolfgang deep gloss sealant 3.0

Hi Audioholic,

No i dont think this car is used in ads.
The owner of the car is more overseas than here in SA.
Hi Brother looks after the car for him.

I will be doing his Scooby WRX next week I think.
