Talking It's Shiny now

I finally brought my 993 to a detailer to get it all shiny again Looks as good (or better) as new. After I picked it up from the detailer, I gave it a lil exercise and drove spiritedly up some twisty mountain roads I think I can conclude that the 993's capabilities is beyond what I dare to venture!

here are some pics, enjoy

*note: now i understand why the peppers have that curved roof line that makes it seem to bulge wider at the tail light, looking side by side, I can see the resemblance

Nice! I like seeing what these cars look like after a professional detailer gets done with it. I do my own detailing on my aventurine green and it is darn close. I get the compliments anyway. Thanks for posting!

Halcyon, I think I remember that car from when it was for sale awhile back. Did you buy it from a longtime PCA member somewhere in SoCal (Thousand Oaks or Westlake Village?)

Any more pics of the interior?!

I dont think the previous owner was a PCA member. BUT, i do know that i have a PCA sticker on my car AND my car was on the cover of Santa Barbara region PCA magazine

Tomorrow I'm bringing it to my professional photographer friend so I hope there'll be some fine photos soon! I'll also try to snap a few more interior pics with a different camera lens as I couldn't get any interior shots with the narrow lens last time .

it seems loading the pics through photobucket makes it seem small on here right? think i'll just load pics directly on here next time

I am not sure where you copied the http address from, but if you get rid of the "th_" near the end of the address you are good to go. I use Photobucket and just click on the IMG at the bottom of the album photo and paste it to the thread.

Looks really nice! I recently purchased an 8oz tub of Zymol wax - leaves some shine!

I actually dont know what it is called. the option sticker says L39S MX ..... i know L39S is aventurine green, but I couldn't find what MX stands for.

Don't remember ever seeing an interior in that color with the piping. Is that custom or did it come from Porsche like that?

Very nice!

I'm wondering about that too! I just posted my option sticker on another thread, only code that come close to describing what it is says that its "draped leather" something....
