Polished the Porsche today
 
4 Attachment(s)
Since it was cooler and raining today, I decided to give the Porsche paint a little TLC. Wash, clay, polish 1, (3M Perfect-It II), polish 2 (Wolfgang Pre-Sealant Enhancer), and finally polymer protectant (Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant). Here are a few early evening pics.

Sweet, looks great.

How many hours of labor?

Awsome...

Do you use a PC?

Yes, I use a Porter Cable Dual Action polisher. I bought various velcro backed pads on Autogeek.net. I also have a 10" rotary buffer, which I use to remove the final sealant coat.

Tim -- very nice. I love your car.

I just noticed your red calipers -- are those OEM red calipers or painted? Did you DIY or have them installed? Thanks.

superb

Thanks to all for the kind words!

Porsche_Guy - the red calipers were a DIY that cost about $30. Here is a link to the thread I started covering the DIY process. As you will see, the thread kept growing, which means a few folks found the topic interesting.

Dell, I actually took these with my daughter's camera and the pics were very clear (clearer than with "my" camera). However, I had to re-size them to about 40% of the original pic size and the quality/sharpness was greatly diminished.

likely story :)
