OCDetailing Detailed: Trashed Black 2005 Porsche Carrera S

nikku · 04-29-2009, 04:51 PM

Hey,

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Things have been a little hectic the past week.

Anyways so the past couple of days I spent my time at the Porsche dealership on a trade in that was in horrendous condition. It was my first detail at that dealership and the people there were great. Although it was disappointing that someone would treat a car, any car the way the previous owner treated this beauty.

During the inspection stage the roof and rear hatch had particularly low paint reading and was hit with the PC DA with a much less aggresive combination.

Please excuse some of the untouched wheel wells. The car was washed and sat in the bay. I did a quick ONR on the paintwork and went at it.

Whoops one last thing. I was only to address the paintwork at the request of the client.

Anyways enough of my babbling.

Enjoy,
Nick

I love detailing a beat up black car, because it just looks so great when it is done. Nice job.

signes · 04-29-2009, 11:45 PM

Wow is right. WTF did the owner do his car? I can't believe its that bad for being such a relatively new car. Really nice work.
