Default Detailer's Domain: Rare 993 Turbo/Crystal Rock

I had the pleasure on working on another 993 Turbo, this time it was a super rare color I believe the owner from Rennlist said 2xx of these were sold in the world or was it North America, I'll have to check on that again..

The color: Amaranith Violet

Not for everyone but ultra rare!

Paint was corrected and of course the last step was Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Below are the tools and products used:

Adam's Car Wash
Swissvax Paint Rubber (Yellow) and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna PO85RD -
Menzerna Top Inspection
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Crystal Rock

Wheels and Tires

Swissvax Pneu
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Boar’s Hair Wheel Brush
Foam applicator pads
Swissvax Quick Finish

Glass inside and out:
Lusso Glass Polish
Uber Glass MF Towels

Black Wow on the bottom trim and the inside of the side vents

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
Lake Country CCS Pads 5.5 inch
Lake Country Wool Pads
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
Uber Drying Towels

Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun

Before shots:





Before wheels:




Before shot of the wheel well:


Pre soaking wheels with P21S Wheel Cleaner and P21S TAW on the tires and wheel wells


Ace Powerstick in action


Before shot of the bumperettes


Cleaning them up with P21S TAW and a Swissvax Wheel Brush before we apply Black Wow


Cleaning up trim pieces from wax build up


The wash with the Cam Spray Pressure Washer and Foam Canon



Claying with the old Swissvax Paint Rubber


50/50 shots of the paint correction after Menzerna SIP and Menzerna PO85RD




Wheels all done up tires dressed with Swissvax Pneu and wheel well dressed with Adam's Undercarriage Spray


Bumperettes dressed with Black Wow


Some shots inside the garage:




Final shots outside:















I hope you enjoyed this one.

Another one: Is the P21S doing the hard work on brake dust removal, or was it more the soap and scrubbing? In other words, is the P21S really saving you that much work?

Sponge is on his site, but he didn't list it this time:
Uber Yellow Wash Sponge

P21S works great. it definitely saves time...
