Default Finished major detail of my Blue Turquoise 993

My car just got a major going over. The whole detail and paint correction process was written up by the good folks over at Northwest Auto Salon near Seattle. They did an amazing job. I thought some of you might enjoy the write-up and some images. (By the way Rudy - I obviously didnt write this copy but I think you and Mr. Sullivan did a fine job taking care of the car. I just felt like going overboard You know how it is.)

You can read about it here: http://www.northwestautosalon.com/20...etail-at-nwas/

Some amazing car pictures posted this week. Your's is at the top of the list.

What is the tool you are using in the second to the last picture? Something to apply wheel well dressing? Rolling the fender? Thanks.

That is correct - just removing a very small crease in the fender.

Car looks fantastic, always one of my favorites. If you don't mind sharing, what is the cost for this full service detail?

Stunning color!
In other threads, some discussion about most bulletproof MY; I offered the early 95 baskethandle cars without immobilzer.
Now i'm thinking the perfect 993 would be that car in this color!

Gordo

That is fantastic! She looks too clean to drive but I hope that won't be the case. Thanks for sharing the make-over with us.
