Elite Detailer Porsche 964 Detail
Hi guys,
I hope you dont mind if I post some pics of some cars I have worked on in the past. I will post a good variety of different models.
I know it's not a RS Turbo/Cossie but I hope you dont mind. I do have a an exclusive PF competiton comming up where one of you lucky guys will will win a FREE detail but I will put that up on another thread.
This particular car is a white 911 (964) Carrera 2 and is 18 years old.
It's never been worked on before. The paint was dull, oxidised and flat, it was washed regularly and garaged so this was a big bonus although the paint could definatley benefit with abit of work.
I spent two full days on this getting it back to as it should. I removed approx 1 micron of paint and took about 400 paint readings. In one particular place the paint was extremely thin, so thin that if I hadn't have ran my paint tests, it would have been likely that the paintwork would have been damaged during paint correction which would have resulted in a respray.
In this particular area of the vehicle, it was likely that it had been damaged in the past and had been mopped aggressively.
Here are a few pictures.
After the wash, notice it looks clean but very flat.
I removed the rear plate and I really wanted to get this car extra extra clean - its 18 years old remember and its likely that the grime has been there since day 1.
After the claying session, vehicle was re washed and brought into the garage. Where I taped it up and did a full on paint inspection. After this I took some pictures of the scratches.
Bonnet:
Nearside wing, take note of how flat and dull it looks:
Another of the wing showing scratches:
Door :
After a day and a half of corrective work, the car came out for another wash. After drying the vehicle I took a quick picture of the bonnet.
After which the detailing began.
A few afters,
The bonnet, no more swirls/scratches:
Door, no more swirls/scratches:
Number plate surround, clayed and paint corrected and also waxed:
Badge was deep cleaned, spent about an hour cleaning this.
A few more afters. The paint looks much more brighter, sharper and deeper.
Most of the products used on this car are available from www.elitedetailer.com
Thank you for looking.
Regards
EliteDetailer

imo it has totally transformed the car.and tbh if he was to sell up he would get a fair bit of a higher price i think.

two buckets with grit guards and wash mitts,to avoid the swirls returning etc is the best start.
a clay session once every 6 months
and regular waxing to keep the look up to scratch etc.
its easier to keep the car clean once its been done properly
the hard work has alreaady been done 
tbh mate its down to maintaining that look.with the correct way to clean and the right products.
