Detailer's Domain: Porsche 911 CS - New Car Paint Correction

New Porsche 911 CS Correction. I got a call from my customer telling me he just got a new 911 CS and asked me to take a look at it, I guess to my surprise I got a pretty swirled/hologram imperfect new 911! It always surprises me that dealers selling cars can do this, I feel its the dealers' job to present a perfectly prepped new car to a customer in fact they should do this for pre-owned cars as well. Enough ranting, here is the write up. What was done - Exterior - Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down - Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Clayed - Dried - Paint inspected and measured - Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed - Tires dressed - Masking - 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue) - Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight - Last Step - Menzerna Power Lock - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Engine Cleaned up and dressed Products used: (feel free to click the link below for more info) Exterior: Lusso Auto Bathe P21S Total Auto Wash Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Uber Clay Bar kit with Optimum No Rinse Einszett Spray Wax Meguiars M105 Menzerna Super Intensive Polish Menzerna PO85RD Menzerna Power Lock Wheels/Tires Sonax Wheel Cleaner Swissvax Pneu Glass Adam's Glass Cleaner Adam's Glass Sealant Tools: Infratech 5300 Fenix TK11 Brinkmann Fenix TK40 Flex 3403 Makita Metabo The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Brushes Cam Spray Pressure Wash and Foam Canon Attachment Before The paint imperfections!

Wow. I really like how that engine compartment turned out. Is Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care something you spray on and wipe or is there more to it. Great job! -Moto

correct you spray on then let it dry then wipe off excess

Thanks! I'll have to order some at some point.

Great Job and thanks for all the pictures!!! Bxstr

Which product was used on the exhaust tips?

Sure thing Optimum Metal Polish

WOW, I completely agree. I would not accept delivery of a new porsche in that condition. the swirlying and paint damage is horrible. makes you wonder if they used sandpaper to wash the car. great job on it and great write up.

with all the glaze that a dealer puts on a car before delivery is alot, once the car's in the rain or washed all the fillers will wash away and hence you get what you see in the before shots. unless you bring a bottle of 50/50 iso alcohol you will never know.
