Don, great job. It was time well spent. Your car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

Andy, the rims look great. I plan to do a thorough job on mine when I take them off to paint the calipers this summer.

I actually did this one by hand. The Polish was very easy to work with, and my paint was mostly swirl free. The main reason was that it was the first time I tried this product, so I wanted to take my time. The sealant is applied by just misting some onto a microfiber sponge and wiping a thin layer on the car - took less than 10 minutes!

Thanks Jay, I hope someday I can spend my time on a 997S cab in the future! Georgous car!


Galeriehughie and Mark - Thanks for the compliments

I know for a fact Guards Red looks so much better in person - it's very hard to capture the pure redness in pics!

You know Andy, I totally can vouch for that. My Boxster is GR, and often when I have it out, some stranger will walk up and pay the car a compliment, while rarely if ever get a compliment for the 996. In addition, I think there's some mojo working with guards red and a beige interior. Perhaps we can thank Ferrari for making that color combo a classic.

Guards Red has alot of orange content in it.

DFC, Looking Good!

Thanks guys, much appreciated! It does tend to have an orange hue in the pics - especially in sunlight.

Very sweet looking cab. The first thing that pop out to me was the color. I thought it was very unique but Porsche DR breathtaking.

I had to grabbed my sunglasses to look at my screen! You're car is sooo shiny!

Looking Good! CDodkin definitely sold me on Ultima, I have it sitting here PPP & PGP,. I haven't had the guts to do the 911 yet but have spot tested both products on white Audi and black Benz, very nice stuff.

Man is that RED! Looks great - I use the Groits products on all the cars, what a difference that makes.

rleeq and Carrera Mike - Thanks for the compliments!

htny - the Ultima worked great, minimal effort. Put the sealant on very lightly/thin, I had a few dried blotchy areas that I had to go back over where I applied it too heavy. I did a second coat the following morning.

pissedpuppy - try it yourself, it's relaxing, the right products also make a huge difference in time and results.

99C2 - I typically use all Griots products, tried the Ultima for polish and sealant. It worked great with minimal effort. I used to live in the Chicago area, and my mechanic lived in Cary. I am actually job searching in Chicago, maybe I'll be back...

thanks for the pic's never get bored looking at these things.

if it was Toyota's i was looking at, you would have to conclude i had a boring life - but these are 911's.

the clear side makers look good - should paint the bumperettes.

DFC

Thanks Cpa4S. I was initially on the fence about the clear markers, actually I didn't mind the pumpkins, until I saw another red 996 with the clears in person - that changed my mind. I have been considering the painted bumperettes, but I have a few other things to take care of first...
