Default Cleaned the Cayenne today.... but the day went downhill

Well,

But it came out great, Polished and Carnuba wax.. Look great.
Crappy iPhone pic but it really looks awesome in person...

Sorry to see that Marc. Almost tempted to post a photo of what I did to my 993 last year to make you feel better.

My P!g is in serious need of wax too.

That'll teach you to wash a P!g (sorry, I couldn't resist )

Seriously though, very sad to see your accident. Hopefully it can easily be repaired.

Nice job on the Cayenne.

Sorry to see the "Ooops" on your 911

Hope it won't cost too much, or take too much to get her back to 100%.

Bugger on the 996. Hopefully, the fender and hood haven't sustained any damage.
Black is.....special. I'm on my 3rd black vehicle and after each purchase, I swore I wouldn't buy another. I guess I possess sadistic traits....

The P!G looks great after applying a little lipstick

On the other hand... Condolences Marc on your 996

Ouch! P!g looks great, the 996 will again soon, I'm sure. Good luck with the repair.

Looks good, Marc, buy why carnuba on a black car? That won't protect for very long.

Washed my beast using a brushless car wash yesterday. No, it doesn't replace a hand wash but when your vehicle is black it's an easy but temporary compromise.

good job on the p!g.

and for the 996 - nothing a little duct tape won't fix, you even have a matching color
