Best investment next to owning the 997!
Once my car arrives, Armorglove is going to arrive and "glove" the car the same as I had on my Lexus SC430.
Does make quite a difference in protection!

OK, maybe you guys don't know this product, but they ARE very good for polishing German paint with a PC.

In regards to AutoButler.....it's pure crap!
It's just a polymer sealant and perhaps a Scotchgard treatment on the carpets. A polymer sealant lasts between 10 and 12 months and then they do a "booster" every 3 or 6 months. So what's the difference if you apply a polymer sealant and re-apply it every 3 months?
You save yourself the money....that's what.
In regards to black cars.....they are a love/hate relationship!
Nothing looks as beautiful and brilliant as a freshly detailed black car, especially a Porsche....then two hours later it gets all jacked up
As already noted the bumper areas are painted with a flex agent (ever notice stress fractures in these areas after they have been hit?) so polishing them can be tricky. If they are an eyesore then try using a glaze, like Meguiars #7, to hide or mask them.
Clear coats are a very thin film or layer of polyurethane.....or plastic and they will have scratches in them. They key is to reduce introducing more while washing, drying, polishing and waxing.
Try washing with a deep sea sponge, use a high lubricating wash (high suds content does not always = lubrication or cleaning ability), dry with waffle weave microfiber.
