Hi,

Here we have a Porsche Boxster S booked in for a stage 1 paint enhancement plus a couple of extras. This was the car on arrival

[Image: DSC01951.jpg]

The calipers were slightly suffering with lacquer peel but this was not to be rectified on this occasion

[Image: DSC01961.jpg]

It was a rather wet day outside unlike our recent weather, so i didnt take loads of photos of the wash process, but all door, boot, fuel cap and engine bay shuts were degreased with APC and fine brushes. The tyres were also cleaned with APC and wheels with Bilberry. The car was then snow foamed and washed using Shampoo Plus using the 2 bucket method

It was then taken inside the garage to be clayed

[Image: DSC01973.jpg]

After being washed outside again it was brought back inside where paint readings were taken. The rear drivers wing clearly showing a previous repair

Using the Makita rotary, 3M polishing pad and backing plate and Menzerna 106FA i set to giving some life back to the finish

[Image: DSC02040.jpg]

Certainly not an exact science but to give you an idea how much clear was removed between the polished and unpolished sides

Continuing onto the rear wing and boot area

[Image: DSC02076.jpg]

And the passenger wing

[Image: DSC02103.jpg]

Moving round to the front of the car

[Image: DSC02116.jpg]

Once all polishing was complete the car recieved an IPA wipedown

[Image: DSC02148.jpg]

I then applied Dodo Lime Prime Lite as a glaze / pre-wax cleanser, a panel at a time

[Image: DSC02151.jpg]

The customer was after durability over looks so the first of 2 coats of Collinite 476s was applied

[Image: DSC02152.jpg]

The wheels were treated to Poorboys and tyres to Endurance Gel

Moving onto the interior, all areas were dusted down and then hoovered

[Image: DSC02158.jpg]

The leather was then cleaned with Gliptone Cleaner and wiped down!

[Image: DSC02168.jpg]

And then with Gliptone Liquid Conditioner, giving the interior a fantastic rich leather smell

[Image: DSC02172.jpg]

All rubber door, boot and engine bay seals were treated with Bumper care and plastics with 303

[Image: DSC02173.jpg]

At this point the car was taken outside to have a check over in natural light

I became concerned about the tyre pressures so checked them and found the front passenger to be very very low and around 47.5 psi in both the rears which seemed ridiculous but had recently been done when new tyres were fitted. These were all set accordingly and the customer advised on collection to keep an eye on the front incase it went very low again or just a one off.

[Image: DSC02212.jpg]

It was then time for the second layer of Collinite to be applied

[Image: DSC02214.jpg]

These were the final pictures, even with a light polish was a big improvement compared with its arrival

Another great Job Christian...

Looked as though the car had been parked under trees when at the owners home...

Quick question if I may Sat Nav Screens what is the best product to clean off figure marks?
