2004 Basalt Black Cayenne S with Sportec 22's
This car has about 58k on it driven daily. Swirls, light scratches, all the goodies.

I had to polish this thing out with Menzerna SIP with a yellow edge 2k pad then follow it with Menzerna 106 with a blue pad, on top of that we had to wash it a second time because we had to get aggressive with this one.

Take a look:

13. Used Metabo with Menzerna 106 with E2k blue pad at 1500rpm to finish the paint off with a nice deep wet shine. (removed excess polish with MF Buffing towel)
14. Rinsed and washed off the car again (foam gun) and dried the car.

What a tragic waste of time, water and energy.

I'm not sure what you mean?

It looks MUCH better!

Very nice detailing job, however, a pig (re: Cayenne) is not deserving of such treatment.

P.S. Cayenne forum "humor"......

wow I was feeling pretty bad with that statement thanks for clearing it up.

It looks great! I love seeing the close up the paint with those halo-scratches and then after the polish-- fantastic improvement! I used to have a Cosmos Black M3 and that paint was hard to maintain, too.

Congrats,

pyiu: Looks sexy.

Those Sportec wheels look good on every car I've seen them on.

I like the sportecs on the cayenne and the audis but not so much the 911's.

Sportec 20's on my RS6, the Cayenne S is a customer's car

...good job cleaning Cay,...nice car.

...prev owner was a lazy pig, who drove, feeded and shted all in one place- in a driver seat...

...just dont forget after such prev owner to check/change oil/cooler and after that warm the car up properly and give it couple of FULL/good power runs at 60-90 to cleanup internally...

...dont worry too much about ltc forum addict MEMBER...just read his prev posts on this forum for the past four years...he won his olympics with his Cay long time ago...he thinks Cay is a pig, I disagree, it's a whale - KILLER whale...

Menzerna and 1Z leather, two of my faves. Good job.
p.s.
Try the FK 425 www.finishcareusa.com as a last step (inside and out). Drastically cuts down on dust and soot. Does wonders in my open cockpit, wish I knew about 425 when I had a black daily driver.

If I won the Cayenne Olympics, then where is my medal?

P.S. The Cayenne IS a pig (there is even a picture of the pink pig in the Cayenne forum IIRC), completely unworthy of wearing the Porsche crest, it's 65% VAG content and 80% VAG labor. The Panamera will be no better.

blk on blk

They damn sure do not drive or handle like anything VAG puts out.

What does a detail job like that cost?
