Porsche Garage Overhaul - ready for a 911
#31
The garage is beautiful. Did you have the concrete floor polished and sealed, or apply a grey epoxy floor paint ? I like the polished concrete with a clear seal, and have been using this process in office and warehouse construction . A 911 or 930 will look perfect next to your Panamera !

The Blackfire products I use for a full detail (after claying once every 9 months or so) are:
Step 1 - SRC Compound. (scratch/swirl removal if required)
Step 2 - Gloss Enhancing Polish
Step 3 - Wet Diamond Sealer ( this stuff is the most amazing product of all. Easy application and removal. Magnificent results)
Step 4 - Midnight Sun Wax (both the paste and spray versions are excellent)
About every 2 to 3 months I'll do a quicker detail starting at step 3.
Step 4 every Month after washing. And after a regular weekly was I'll use the Midnight Sun detail spray.
The products are designed to give Black paint an amazing deep liquid glow rather than a synthetic shiny look ( difficult to explain but easy to see)
Scratch Resistant Compound:
See example below when I removed the dealer swirls. Compounded area on left of tape, untouched area on right.
The hood afterwards:
Here is a pic outside in full sunlight. Zero swirls:

Beautiful garage, and nice Panamera! Get yourself an '80-'89 SC or Carrera, the newer the better. They're great investments that are bulletproof, easy to work on, fun to drive, and let's face it, they look way cooler than the water pumpers.

Your garage is just amazing! What a transformation. And that has to be the best car cleaning job I have ever seen. I have to get some of the same products you use.. You really turned detailing into an art form.

When I was younger I used to service my own car and that is something I'd like to start getting back into one of these days. So that will be the next project; moving some automotive tools into the garage. Got to find the right tool chest to roll under the white worktop without messing with the design...
