I don't know what to say but my customer recently bought this beautiful 993 C4S and its in great mechanical shape, interior is in excellent shape, and the body is in great shape for an 11 year old car. However the paint is another story. The paint felt like sandpaper and was filled with tons of fillers, swirls, light scratches, tons of imperfections.
I had the car before the New Year and it will be delivered later today.....Take a look.

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!
