This was a referral from a great customer of ours. Love that fact that he referred another great Porsche guy to us. Thanks Bill for letting us work on such a great car!

Bill took great care of the car, no need for any major overhaul, just some very light scratches in the usual spots and some extra care inside and out. We took care of them with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and of finished with Swissvax Crystal Rock.

we will have a shop set up in Norwood NJ in about 1-2 weeks if you want drive down and play with the waxes and sealants we have and you can see for yourself first hand.

I feel the carnauabas give a wetter look over sealants. Sealants definitely last longer.

What do you charge for a detail like that? I've got a black 997S that probably needs a bit more TLC than what you've got above. Would appreciate a PM letting me - thanks.
