Very nice Phil. Looks like a new paint job and more!
I recently polished my black 993, using Mcguires products w/ an orbital. I waxed her with P21S and was very happy with that wax.
I still think it needs a little more aggresive polishing next time. Perhaps I should give the Menzerna a try?

Question: What tool did you use to detail in and around the "Carrera" insignia? I wish I could remove it for cleaning but it doesn't seem possible.

Also, did you use an orbital or rotary?

Thanks for any input and inspiration.

Thanks guys I appreciate it and yes I was wondering the same thing about who prepped the car!

Bluejam,
I used 4 inch pads yellow and white with the Metabo rotary using Menzerna SIP followed by Menzerna PO85RD.

Phil,

Wifey and I have been pricing real estate down south for a possible move, so I figure if I'm in the area it may work out well! Once again, amazing job on the 993!
