Default 95' 993 Cabriolet Full Paint Correction and Coating @ Shine Auto

Our customer brought his recently purchased, 95' Porsche 993 Cabriolet, into our facility wanting us to bring it back to its highest level of conditions. We thoroughly assessed the vehicles current state and recommended a full paint correction. Along with the full paint correction, he decided to add a few additional services as well. We added a CQuartz Finest paint coating, replaced the rear wheel impact areas with fresh XPEL Ultimate film and conditioned his leather interior. Let us show you how we turned this tarnished 993 into a brilliant masterpiece!

This is how the vehicle arrived at our facility.













We quickly began the prepping and disassembly process!





Now that the 993 has been disassembled, we can begin the polishing process. Check out these crazy 50/50 images during the polishing process.











We have completed the polishing process. Now it's time to reassemble the badges, headlights, taillights and spoiler. The front and rear badges had severe wax build up throughout its years of being cleaned. We spruced up the front badge and completely replaced the rear badge to give it that fresh showroom floor look.









The final product! We added a coat of CQuartz Finest ceramic paint coating to protect and keep this brilliant SHINE we have brought out of this gorgeous 993. Also, we got rid of the hideous rear impact guard residue that was left over from the factory film and replaced it with some fresh XPEL Ultimate film which also covered a larger area. Check out the final images!

Great work! Nothing shines like a properly corrected (black esp.) dark paint.

Thank you very much! Black cars are the hardest to work on but have the best outcomes.

Nice work. My question is what proper 993 owner would ever let their car get to that point ? My brother just bought a basalt black in the same condition. So I guess there are at least 2 owners out there

Our customer recently purchased this 993 in the condition it was in. He wanted to invest in getting it back to its best condition as possible so that's why he stopped by our shop.

This is why I'll never put any car I care about through a tunnel wash.

Have the same car same color just different year. Can we talk about cost? Starting price?

I think it's more like trusting someone who doesn't know what they are doing with a polisher. You can tell someone tried to polish that car and created those haze like swirl marks.
