Default Smoke detailed- Carrera 4

2001 Carrera 4. Car was in very good shape, a few very fine swirls; Car was used mainly as a DD. This Porsche was detailed to sell, owner needs the garage space to make room for Godzilla coming in summer.

After the Z7/ foam gun followed by 2BM



Wheels were done first

P21s gel let dwell for 20minutes
Clayed inners
AG tar remover
3M adhesive remover
EZ brush
Swissvax brush
Lambswool brush

Wells
Megs Safe Degreaser
Megs APC+



I really began to appreciate how great the EZ brush is;








Next I pulled the car in to the garage for claying next to his 92 NSX and 91 M5, both stunning cars.

Clayed w/Sonus fine green
Adams QD for lube
PB S&W wipedown



After a rinse I moved onto the soft top.
Raggtopp cleaner and the SV soft brush



Raggtopp brought back a deep clean finish




Flex 3401 (using the side handle for the first time, much better control IMO)

106ff w/ a LC white pad
3M Ultrafina w/ LC black finishing pad.

(little water in the lens)


UF breaking down…



50/50, Top side unfinished w/ only 106ff and bottom side has both 106ff and Ultrafina



Carpets befores
303 cleaner cut 10:1
303 spot remover



After



Leather was cleaned with Z9 w/swissvax leather brush,
Conditioned with Z10
Hard plastics done 1Z c0ckpit premium
Shuts cleaned with Megs APC+ and polished w/ Z-AIO
Lower plastic panels- 1Z plastik reinger(sp) and a magic eraser.
Tires dressed w/ CG waterproof wet dresing
All flat black ext trim- Black WOW

Afters; roof was put on later and recieved same polishing treatment

LSP: 2x Z2pro ZFX'd cured 25mins between
Z8 final wipdown


Wheels and glass topped w/ ZCS
