Default Does your TT need a Spring Bath? Here is your solution

Well, here I sit waiting for my 993.......................

And low and behold I remembered I have one from years ago. So I dig thru the boxes and sure enough I found it.

The paint was dusty and in need of TLC. So I took it outside to clean her up.

Bad Owner letting it get this dirty:




Well break out the cleaning products and see what can be done!



Fire up your power washer to clean off the nasty chunks


Reconsider the use of ones power washer


Ahhhhhh thats better



Dry with your ol trusty Mircofiber


Use your air blower to get the water out of the cracks


Once again reconsider the use of your air blower


Clay bar to remove surface contamination


Apply wax one section at a time


Remember to get the wax out of thos hood edges


Time to apply the tire dressing



Move into the sun to admire your rewards

Tim,

That is very cool, sick, and funny, all at the same time. Its great that you already had that model car... no wonder you have been searching for an arena red TT! Do you also have that poster in your avatar? I have one one of those (in my garage). You'll need the "Kills bugs Fast" and "like your own amusement park" print ads from 1996 as well.
You must be going nuts!

Cool. A good detail improves resale by about 20% on those babies!

Nicely detailed, love the "metal-flake" paint.
It obviously was an "order to sample", candy apple red.

MK,

I have a couple of those models... its a very nice Arena Red... not paint to sample. While all 993 colors are beautiful, its nice to have a color that has a nice model (and posters) to match. Gotta love Arena Red!

Yeah, I don't think the 9.5 and 12 inch wheels are going to fit......just a hunch.
