Another Wash & Wax plus Basic Interior in the books for this Macan S. The more I see these (inside and out) the more I like them.
1996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet
David brought his 993 Cabriolet by for a Basic Wash while he was in town. He had brought the car in for a Basic Detail back in June, when I polished up the car, removed old stone guard PPF, and installed new OEM stone guard PPF. Knowing that this is one of only 2,152 1996 Cabriolets brought to the US and Canada, David knows that maintenance is paramount!
The detail back in June included finishing the car with Optimum Car Wax, which has UV protection, and lasts for about five months. This car doesn’t have a modern clear coat on it like newer cars so during this Basic Wash, I did put another application of Wax on just as a boost.
Porsche 911 Carrera
Porsche. Love them or hate them, there is no in between. I love them and always will. I had a brief employment at a small VW, Audi, and Porsche shop and I learned a ton in that short time about Porsche. Having driven several, it made me appreciate them even more. I have known David for a few years and his '86 Carrera. It is hard not to take notice of his car because it appears to be a 911 Turbo. This Carrera had a Turbo rear clip installed back in the early 90s and I love the look of it (what's not to love?!).
David wanted to get some swirls and minor scratches taken out of the paint and refreshed as much as possible with a Full Detail. This paint was a definite challenge for me as some of it was very hard paint and some was very soft. I wasn't able to get the paint back to 100%, but I got it very, very close. Once all compounded and polished, the entire car was waxed with Optimum Car Wax and then sealed with Opti-Seal. This will give about 6 months of protection from harmful UV rays and make cleaning much easier. The tires were dressed with Opti-Bond tire gel, also giving UV protection to the rubber.
Once cleaned, I took the car for some photos and boy was I happy with the outcome of the detail and the photos. I cannot wait to see this car back in the future.
