Default Detailer's Domain: 993 Turbo - Detail

Probably my all time favorite Porsche, I really enjoy doing 993's. They are challenging yet extremely rewarding! This car was in mint condition 9,000 miles! It just needed some polishing and jeweling. As a last step we used Menzerna topped with Swissvax Divine

A thorough interior cleaning to finish it off.

Here is what was done on the car:

Exterior

- Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Claying
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Tires dressed with Swissvax Pneu
- 2 Step Paint correction
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Paint sealed with Menzerna
- Swissvax Divine
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

Interior Detail


- All interior surfaces cleaned and prepared, including glass, and all
vinyl/plastic surfaces.
- Carpets and upholstery vacuumed.
-Leather surfaces are carefully cleaned, prepared and fed using the Leather Master

Product List:
Exterior:
Lusso AutoBathe
Uber Yellow Wash Sponge
Swissvax Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
Einszett Spray Wax
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish

Great work, as usual, Phil! Such a fabulous color when it's clean.

That car's a true time capsule, what with the batphone and SUV height!

I'd bet on about 30-35 man hours. Let's see what Phil says.

Very nice work! Nice deep blue color.

One question though; The rear seats seem to b the leather version, but I think the rear parcel shelf is vinyl, right? The door cards (except the handles and bin cover) are also vinyl, AFAIK. Do you use the same product for vinyl or is there another product for vinyl included in the kit?
