Client pickup this car used from a local Porsche dealer. Only 3500 miles after sitting on the dealers lot for a few months.

Rinsed off w/ PW at safe distance.
Dried with quality WW MFs.
Air movers positioned to help facilitate drying of fabric top.
Covered areas around fabric top.
Applied Raggtopp protectant in 2 directions 15 mins apart.
Z6 wipedown of all painted areas and areas (glass/trim) around fabric top.
Applied 2x of ZFX'd Z5pro followed by Z8 to paint and glass.
Wheels got ZAIO.
Tires got Z-16.
Tips got blue magic metal polish.

Polishing comments:
I tried M205 w/ Green CCS at speed 6 on the PC as a one step polish, it did pretty well on the soft clear, but would not get out 100% of the RIDS.

Car was an exterior detail, but I still gave the car a quick vac and cleaned all the inside glass.

I too would love a black car, but I don't even want to deal with the time involved to keep it right.
