Great job guys! I'll agree with everyone here, Slate Grey is stunning. I've never seen a 993 that colour. The wheels work really well with that colour too. Classy.
BTW, how about some shots of the the two cars together. I think they make a nice pair.

I always thought it was slate from the pic, but never looked up his paint code.
Back to the OP - Slate looks hot on his car or any other and a bang up job in detailing it!!

help me with the wet sand process...do you simply keep the sandpaper wet as you sand with a P-C? I noticed two things:
1) the sanding didn't seem to go right up to body panel edges nor did it look like you sanded the bumpers?
2) why put the tail up on blocks? Less bending over?
thanks mate.

Looks great, I love that color.
But, IMHO, it wasn't bad enough to wet sand. A good medium polish would have removed all the swirl marks & removed less paint.

John-- She looked slick when I saw her in the rain, but YOWZA - practically glows in the dark now. You & Mike make quite the 993 team. I need friends like y'all. I've always liked your wheels, & they continue to compliment slate great.
I can't see any line on your rock guards. Wow.
Personally, I think you're a little humble, saying you're 'not a photographer.' You may not have gone to extreme lengths regarding backgrounds, etc., but better-looking 'casual' shots are rare. Well done.
Again: great job -- to both of you!
