These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning y'all. Well, I finally did it. After researching (primarily on this board), I decided to go with at 99 996 that I found in Pittsburgh (I live near Dallas). The car only has about 18000 miles, black with black full leather interior as well as the aluminum package etc.. Now, before you ask about pics, here's my story. I needed to go to Pittsburgh last week on a business trip, so I decided to buy the car and drive it back to Dallas. The transaction was quite easy. The seller was ordering a new car and the dealer did all the paperwork as a courtesy, transfered the car to me at the price I negotiated with the seller and off I went. Yes I know, pics... I'm getting to that. Since it's a 1400 mile drive from Pittsburgh to Dallas, I had a good chance to get to know how everything works and get a good feel for the car. Consequently, I now have 1400 miles of road goo, bug guts and dust to clean off... that's at lie, I already washed it once, but it's not perfect yet. So, in exchange for pics, I need the name of the best auto detailer in the Dallas/Fort Worth area - sound fair? I promise, I won't harm your pics if you give me what I want. All kidding aside, this is a fantastic forum and I plan to become a full card carrying member... once I get the car detailed and post pics.

POST 2Original post

Sorry I can't help with information about the detailer as I don't live in the area. Just remain calm and don't do anything irrational with the pics. I'm sure we can work things out. Perhaps you have a family member or close friend you'd like to talk to? Congratulations!! I've had mine for three weeks and enjoy it as much now as the day I bought it.

POST 3Original post

Sorry, no info here as we will not negotiate with hostage takers. BTW why not ask about the correct products to use and do it yourself. No one else touches my car and it is a great way to look real close and get to know your car. It also helps you decide where to spend that Mod Money!!! welcome to the forum--you'll love the car!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm trying to remain calm so no pics get hurt I agree with the idea of doing it myselft..... but not yet. I'm seeking professional help for the first detail job. The car is black, so I don't want to risk swirling the paint or some other mistake in my first week

POST 5Original post

Unless the detailer is good, he/she (politically correct dual gender reference, BTW) could do more damage than you would. I'll make you a counter offer. You release the pics, and we'll make sure you learn how to detail your own car. We'll give you info on a polisher, proper cleaning, washing, and polishing products and techniques. As well as letting you know which paint sealants/protectants work well. Just make sure you don't do anthing rash with the pics, if they are damaged in any way or intentianally hurt, you will pay!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah.. a good ol' Texas standoff, pics or help, pics or help. Who's gonna blink first

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks I'm looking forward to getting my new toy on the road for another trip - but not 1400 miles in one day.

POST 9Original post

Jim, I live near you in Keller. For detailing I used Scott at www.scottwax.com . He'll come to you. I didnt use him for my 993 but he did a great job on my black lexus.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks John. What color is your 993 cab? I don't recall seeing it around town?

POST 11Original post

Hey Jim, welcome. I haven't used these guys, but have been told they do a fantastic job with Zaino. I'm looking to call them here soon myself. http://www.zainomobiledetail.com/intro.shtml Good luck in your search and let me know who you end up with, will ya?

POST 12Original post

FREE THE PICS!! FREE THE PICS!! FREE THE PICS!! FREE THE PICS!! FREE THE PICS!! -Darren Supporter of the "FREE THE PICS!!" coalition.

POST 13Original post

Jim, My cab is white. Easy to clean. No need for a detail guy. Unfortunately I rarely drive it. I'll keep an eye out for your 996.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Neighbor. I might give them a try. By the look of their website they look top notch. Hopefully the wait is not too long. I'll let you know.

POST 15Original post

I'm in Keller too. There is a Zaino mobile detailer over towards plano. Haven't tried the other one recommended earlier in this thread. http://www.zainomobiledetail.com/intro.shtml My car is black also and looks purdy shiney. If you buy the beer, I can help you detail it. I have a porter cable polisher and lots of wax. You can stop by if ya like. Matter of fact, seems like all us Southlake/keller guys need to get together! bob

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The pics have not been harmed - they will be free soon. There may be a bonus - how about before and after shots??? All will be well by the weekend!!! - I just can't wait!

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Bob - good to hear from another citizen of the Keller/Southlake bubble - a get-together sounds great. I'm glad to see there are a few Porscheaholics around - Thanks for the offer of help. I've already made an appointment to get it done this week. Once I get more comfortable with the DIY idea, we should do it. We can do beer without the detail work as well. Thanks again.

POST 18Original post

Glad you have a detailer set! I'm looking forward to the pics... or better yet, in person There has to be 30 Porsches up this way. I see them all the time on Southlake Blvd. when you're ready, we'll get together. Beer's on me
