Default Elite Detailer Brown Porsche 997 Carrera S Detail

Hi all,

I did this little beauty a few months ago now and it consisited of a New Car Detail

It's the first brown 997 I have worked on and I dont think there are many guys who were brave enough to go for this colour.

In my opinion its a beautiful colour and looks the nuts.

The vehicle's bodywork was washed and dried with the following items:

Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash

Ultra Safe Drying Towel

Lambswool Wash Mitt

Wheels cleaned with:

R222 High Performance Wheel Gel Cleaner

Meguiars Deep Pile Microfibre Wash Mitt

Boars Hair Wheel Brush

The wheels were sealed with:

Zaino Z2 Pro



Tyres conditioned with:

Zaino Z-16 Tyre Gloss



Vehicle clayed with:

Zaino Z-18 Clay System

Here are the pictures of the car after paint correction and the full detail.

Please excuse the rusty discs.





















Work Time 10 hours.

Thank you for taking the time to look...

Regards
EliteDetailer

Good to see you took that in the manner it was intended, makes a welcome change

But still, excuses excuses!!!

Do Porsche actually market that as brown or do they call it sunburnt vagina or something?

Such a beautiful car, such a beautiful colour, i'm in love with it!

Excellent work! kudos to you. BTW what do you think of a Macadamia Porsche with a terracotta interior? Do you think it would go well?

Thanks

Fadi

Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on a Macadamia 911 with a Terracotta interior? Porsche seem to use it on all their marketing material and on the website (on the Carrera S) I'm not a fan of sand beige even though it goes well with the Macadamia.

There's one of these kicking around in Aberdeen; looks ace in the flesh, very different yet very cool. For the interior, I'd go with Sand Beige; Terracotta is not light enough and would not go well in my humble opinion.

I agree the sand beige goes well, its just that i'm not a fan of the colour. What about natural brown.
Have you had a look at the Carrera S on the porsche website? They use a Macadamia with terracotta interior.

I personally love the colour, looks like a car of 'class' rather than just another porka. My boss has a cream coloured one; that definitely isn't cool lol
