Default 7 Hour Detail OCD

The guy was slow but was great. He said my paint was great no issues since I live in So Cal and keep in garage and only 25,000 miles bought Jan 2010.

Love your color. If I saw that color in my area earlier this year, I would have bought it.

Yeah my first Porsche was a 1970 914-6 in Porsche Racing Green so was lucky to find this one new from a Porsche dealer in 2010 for $27,000 off sticker (Bad Economy). Luck of the Irish!

Wow, your car is beautiful and meticulously detailed. However, just a warning before the forum judges see this, one of your wheel’s Porsche crest’s point isn’t pointing at the air valve. I don’t put any stock in these things, but this can be a harsh crowd here.

Looks really nice. I'm curious if he did any paint correction in that 7 hours? Perhaps a quick iron out and clay bar followed by a finishing polish?

I have the opposite problem as you do living in SoCal. Any of my outdoor cars including the 911 are difficult to keep clean and pristine. I live very near the ocean and all of the morning dew picks up and concentrates the junk from the air and it settles on the paint as a very difficult to remove, brown water spot. I'm not talking about the pollen, that stuff comes off instantly. I end up having to gently nanoskin a few spots each week and sometimes a very gentle polish if I mar the paint a little.

I think I have to get a larger garage as keeping an outdoor car in the 95%+ range is becoming too time consuming. Or just give up and settle on having nice paint instead of flawless.

7 hours is an average job. It takes me 7-10 to do a dark car.

I spent about 6-8 hours detailing my car, sound like an average time for full detail with wash, clay, clean, Polish and wax or sealant.
