Default Porsche Cayman Detailed

This car sits, lives, breathe beside my IS350..so need to give the same love I did for the Lexus...

2008 Porsche Cayman detailed only exterior..
For a 2008, the car has a lot of swirl marks and light to moderate scratches....
the worst thing is that both left and right side of the passenger door's has spots from OVER-USE of tire dressing...YES!! not WATER spots but OIL spots....:wall..
Owner thought it was "bling-bling" so he applied the tire dressing too much..
anyway,he didn't notice the spots until a few days when he parked under the sun...

Anyway here are the process:

Wash with ONR using 2 bucket method
#83 with 8006 Pad ,Speed 5 via g110
#80 with 8006 Pad ,Speed 5 via g110
NXT with 9006 Pad on Speed 3 via g110
NXT w/ Foam Applicator on tight edges

Total time: 8 Hours

As always..sorry for the bad quality pictures:

The "Oil" Spots on both passenger and driver's door were horrendous, it sticks to the paint that even using a quik detailer will not remove them...i wanted to clay the car, but the car was fairly new and I did not feel any rough/above surface contaminants...

Here is the driver's door:

Close-up:


After 1 pass of #83 and follow with #80...it took out the swirls and spots..pretty happy with the result:


Even the near the door handle has "Oil" spots!!! How fast is he going!!?? :think: ..:


After #83 and #80:

very very nice job!

you need to suspend the owner's tire dressing privileges...
"sir, please step away from the squirt gun."
