2006 Porsche Carrera S, Operation Save me!

[NastyGT500]

2006 Porsche Carrera S (997.1)
Lapis Blue Metallic/Gray top/Gray gut
85,236 miles
3.8 liter flat 6/381 HP

Client sold their old air cooled cabrio and wanted to replace it with something a little more modern.
Car is in fine mechanical condition and the paint was horrible…full of swirls, water spots, hazy/dull/oxidized paint, the usual for a ‘not really’ taken care of vehicle.
Paint correction/ceramic coating to be completed and she will be on her way!

The ‘details’:
Adam’s shampoo, wheel cleaner, tire/rubber, glass cleaner.
McKee’s37 iron remover.
Medium clay alternative mitt.
McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
Master Blaster and PFM to dry.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG’s.
303 fabric cleaner & protectant on the top.
Flex machines.
LC pads.
Griot’s FCC and Perfecting creams.
Optimum panel wipe for final wipe down.
CQ SIC.
GYEON tire.
Metro vacuum.
McKee’s37 quick interior detailer.

Done!

Thank you for looking.

I bet the owner was happy. Turned out great.

Spectacular, Scott. I'd love to have seen the owner's face and reaction when he picked up his resurrected Porsche.

 

[Lambeau]

Well done.
The deep blue, silver rims, and vert top give that car a seldom seen look in that body style. I love it.

Meh, it's a tiptronic, it's isn't worthy. Just kidding it looks like a different color. Owner must be over the moon.

NICE "Resurrection" as ALWAYS!

I have to agree with @Lambeau ...uniquely "monochromatic look" with that color spec... CERTAINLY, in a GOOD way after your work on it.

Thanks everyone!!! Appreciate the comments. It turned out nicely!!
Yeah, I know, it's a 'Tip', but she's a bit older and just got rid of her manual air cooled and wanted an 'auto' so it was easier for her to drive!

Thanks again!
