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

Total Hours Worked: 19 Hours.

 

WOW, that is beautiful. Hats off to you sir.

 

nice job.... 19 hours is crazy

 

Very nice work

 

great job.. car looks super clean now...

btw does anyone know of any good detail shops around Philadelphia?

 

Great work.

 

God i love black when it is polished

 

What did the owner wash his car with....a Brillo Pad?

Nice work Nick, looking forward to bringing you my G real soon.

 

A very fine job sir.....my hat's off to you.

 

Thank you ! My hat is off to you for taking the time to view the pics

19 hours is not too bad. When you start seeing the difference you just end up pushing forward

Thanks !

Thanks. I don't know of anyone in the Philadephia but I'll ask around for you.

Thanks.

As hard as black is to detail. It is definitely the most rewarding.

The car was also used as a winter car. The wheels on there are winter 18's.

I'll see you soon jsingh. Keep your G ready for me

Thanks Knoxville

Thanks for looking everyone

 

Looks like he was using sandpaper on the thing. How much does 19 hours cost?

 

Amazing work.

The clear must be have been quite hard to use PG on an orange pad?

 

I want to know what the client thought about the before and after.

 

It was a winter car and the previous owner probably used a brush to take off the snow. I don't like to discuss cost especially when it's against the rules to discuss business . If you want more info just pm me please.

Thanks. From what I know of Porsche paint they are generally soft. I was a little surprised when the white pad with SIP was not doing much. I eventually had to kick it up to PG. Btw I was not using an orange pad. I was using yellow. For some reason the yellow with Sonus feels softer compared to LCC Orange.

The client definitely liked the end result.

 

How could you treat a car that way. Great work! I wouldn't have the patience to do such a thing
