Thumbs up GP Automotive Renewal Service: Phase3/Paint Correction - asofine's 993 C4S

This all started with a thread back in October when we finished our documentary video. An avid Porschephile, asofine, began inquiring about our renewal service. One of his three 911s happened to be in SoCal and we decided to take her on as a project. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.













Typical dust and grime on seat rails. We lift up seat to clean rails





Engine cleaned using a safe citrus-based cleaner





Wheels cleaned using a safe pH-balanced Gel wheel cleaner







Wheels further cleaned using a unique polishing soap. We don't use any harsh chemicals or acids









Natural lambs wool mitt rinsed, then panel is rinsed











All glass surfaces are clayed as well as the paint











Notice how yellow the stone guard has become over the years

















Parts are skillfully removed and cataloged for re-installation. This is where having a Porsche specialist is a must. Not only can parts not mysteriously go missing, but everything has to go back to pre-removal condition...just cleaner







Tools of the trade. Ultrasonic paint depth gauge lets the technician know how much paint is left on the metal. This paints a picture of current condition and health of paint, while letting technician know how much material can safely be removed to achieve the best possible paint appearance

















Paint cleanser is then applied after correction. This pre-preps the paint surface for carnauba wax

Enjoying a bit of time in Vancouver at the moment though I should nonetheless be sleeping b/c I've got a tee time at 8:00! The car is great! She's been hibernating in SoCal for a little while but I'll let you know when I'm back down there. Stay well, Moe!

To the rest of the forum, I could sit and wax poetic about Moe and his work, but it's probably safe to assume that the photos speak for themselves!!
