Late to this thread, but congratulations!
I wanted a Porsche since I was maybe 8, my uncle had a 356 and when he came to visit I would spend most of my time crawling around his car. Steve McQueen lived up the street and would always stop and say hi, another guy who put the Porsche bug in me. Came within a hair of buying a 356 from a friend in 1966, but didn't at the last minute. Finally got my first 911 in 1993 a year after I dumped my ex, still remember that day / evening like it was yesterday, drove it from the dealer to my girlfriends place (now wife, together 25 years), and probably screamed YEEHAW more than a hundred times on the way!. Waited 40 years after passing on the 356 to finally get a 356 (about 10 years ago).
For detailers, forget the dealers. You need to network and find some true independent pros near you. My top choice in SoCal would be Glistening Perfection (Moe Mistry), and have been thinking about seeing them for the super detail my car needs, although they are a fairly long hike from me. If anyone knows a top detailer around Pasadena / Glendale / Burbank, please let me know.
So get that beast on the road, top down, and start screaming YEEHAW!
