Philip, I moved the thread to the 997GT3 forum. If for some reason you want it back to the 6GT section please let me know.

I bet we can get a bunch of "before" cars together in an A/C wharehouse here in South FL for these guys to come warm up in the upcoming winter months if the price is right..

Default Detail Recommendation.....scratcges

Philip - thanks for listing the products used to clean this beautiful GT3. I also have an '07 GT3 purchased 4 months ago. I recently noticed some very fine scratches in the windshield glass - when I move my finger over the surface I can *barely* feel them. I've tried standard car wax along with some glass polishers to no avail. I'm convinced there is a more aggressive solution - similar to the process used to remove deep paint scratches by taking depth off the protective finish. What do you recommend? Thank you!

+1 I'm in!

I've bought products from Phil before and he knows his stuff. I do a pretty darn good job at detailing but would love to have a pro like Phil detail my car this winter after I've done a hand full of track days.

Phil's work is outstanding as always.

To the S. Florida crew, if you can't arrange a trip down for Phil you're lucky enough to have some of the best Autopian detailers in the country right in your back yard.
