Here is another Porsche detail. Condition of the car it was in good shape, but still needed to be polished out. Customer wanted to regain its shine and gloss. I figured this would be a great car to use the Lusso Prototype Wax on. I believe we got the results the customer wanted.

Exterior only detail, take a look.

Products Used:
Exterior:
Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the Cam Spray Foam Canon
Swissvax Paint Rubber and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
Menzerna Super Intensive with the Uber Green Pad
Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Prototype Lusso
Einszett Spray Wax

Wheels and Tires
Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Brinkmann MaxFire
Metabo PE12-175
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels

Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun

Before:







Prep:

That looks just fabulous. It definitely makes me miss having a black car.

Just did similar with a friend yesterday using Griot's, though with not quite such spectacular results.

He had never done clay bar, and was blown away by the results.

Love that water beading.

Please tell me if I did the sequence right:

1. Wash with Dawn soap.
2. Clay bar.
3. Polish.
4. Paint sealant.
5. Wax.
6.
