New Porsche 911 CS Correction.

I got a call from my customer telling me he just got a new 911 CS and asked me to take a look at it, I guess to my surprise I got a pretty swirled/hologram imperfect new 911! It always surprises me that dealers selling cars can do this, I feel its the dealers' job to present a perfectly prepped new car to a customer in fact they should do this for pre-owned cars as well.

Enough ranting, here is the write up.

What was done -

- Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner 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
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheel Wells were cleaned and dressed
- Tires dressed

- 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Last Step - Menzerna Power Lock

Nice work! Wish you were here, I'd turn you loose on my Basalt TT.

One of my long time pet peeves is the utter carelessness many [EDIT: I meant dealers, not detailers!] exhibit, with minimum wage monkeys washing (and maybe waxing, if at all) our high end cars, as well as just moving them around. It's the weak link at many Porsche and other high-end dealers.

Fortunately, my dealer got smart more recently, and delivered the car and had me bring it back a few days later so their careful detailer could detail it correctly, rather than the minimum wage monkeys.

Philip at Detailer Domain is they guy! I wish you were more local to me. I am pretty good at detailing but you are definitly better than I am. Also I want to let others know that when you call Philip to buy products he will be honest withyou and steer you into the correct products.

thats insane, how all new cars should come.. im glad my dealer paid to have my car detailed when i picked it up.. only pet peeve was the detailer left the wing up which is a pet peeve of mine on a 911.. lol

One fundamental flaw in your workmanship. DRIVE the car for a little bit after you blow out the rotors (only for the iron rotor cars) so that you can grind that rust off them. THEN clean the wheels. Otherwise, the first time that car goes out on the street that rust will wind up on the wheels.

Nice work. The car looks fantastic. Was the car bleeding on one of the wheels?
