Hey guys, this one belongs to Williams' mate who fitted my trendlines in my v6 last summer! So, its only fair I finally cracked on with his Porsche of which he's owned for a year now.

So he dropped her off to me on the friday night so I can crack on early saturday morning. This took me around 17 hours in total but I could have done with twice that to be fully happy with the results tbh, but I could only do what I could in the time given.

Products used were :

Autosmart Actimouss (quarter of an inch) & btbm shampoo foam mix
Autofinesse Citrus power
Autosmart g101
Autosmart smartwheels
Autofinesse Oblitarate
Autofinesse clay bar
Dodo Juice born slippy
Dodo Juice btbm & Quartz mitt
Karcher k3 ... love it!
Autofinesse drying towels (bloody bargain at 2 for a tenner! :thumb: )
Rupes rotary
Gloss It backing plates
Megs 105 & 3m yellow on touger area's
Megs 205 & 3m blue
Z6 wipe down
Blackhole Glaze applied via hand
Z6 wipe down
My very own 'Superdupa Hybrid mash up' wax :argie::argie::argie:
Z6 wipe down
Z8 to finish
Perl on the tyres
Dodo juice glass cleaner
Windows polished with megs
Autosol on the zorsts & lip of the alloys
Dodo Juice Lime prime on the wheels

Little bit of attention needed here

She was then washed & clayed, the usual decon stuff. No need for iron x as she was pretty clean tbh. Still amazes what you achieve by a good clean/claying session though!

After a wash & clay! :eek:

Now, the polishing. It was quite tough old paint tbh, I got 90% correction colpeted but like I said I'd have loved more time. Still, for 12 years old she still has it. Its those hips & the spoiler that did it for me
:eek:

Not bad, still needed a little more work on refining. So one last pic & I rolled her back in.

Cheers boys :)

Lol Shaun, did he order the wash kit yet?

I happen to work here, probably the only reason that keeps me at my job !

Just off over to his for a brew and some toast... Wind his Mrs up, and to tease their 2 dogs... So I'll ask him. :approve:

Lovely stuff Dawn. Great colour to work on and the 996s i've done in the past the paint was über soft!
