Here's another fun project we finished up. This was a 993 purchased from Crevier Classic Car Collection. Some of the nicest cars in the US are stored on display there. Client purchased this 993 and wanted us to take her back to the day she was first built; or as close as possible. Grab some pop corn...enjoy!!

At some point in this 993's life, someone cut the stone guard edge
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9799-900.jpg)
Swirls and buffer marks from improper technique were quite apparent
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9800-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9801-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9804-900.jpg)
The top was no longer protected.
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9805-900.jpg)
We begin a multi-step reconditioning of the cabrio top by first cleaning with a mild cleaner and a little elbow grease
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9806-900.jpg)
Wheels removed to gain full access to inside of barrel
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9826-900.jpg)
Old cosmoline over spray is pretty common on 993s
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9828-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9830-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9838-900.jpg)
Wheels cleaned and polished without use of acids or harsh chemical. Only citrus cleaner and a unique polishing soap were used. Wheels were then polished and sealed
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9839-900.jpg)
Old stone guard removed. This process alone took about six man hours to complete
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9841-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9847-900.jpg)
Client wanted OEM stone guard from Porsche. Unfortunately, the OEM version was flawed at the edges. We ended up making a custom piece for both sides
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9866-900.jpg)
Someone had crazy glued emblem back on at some point
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9808-900.jpg)
After light sanding and polishing, this area was ready for new emblem
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9818-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9822-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9809-900.jpg)
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9813-900.jpg)
Final step to reconditioning top. 303 Fabric Guard is applied and allowed to cure
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9823-900.jpg)
When done properly, top should bead water, resist soiling, and protect against UV rays and discoloration
![](http://www.glisteningperfection.com/WebForumPics/CE993Cab/IMG_9869-900.jpg)

Thank you for taking the time to view this. We feel that these modern classics are nearing a point in their life where service like this is part of the ownership experience and further enhances the appreciation for the owner and the vehicle. As you can hopefully see, the scope of work requires tremendous amount of experience and knowledge of these vehicles, but more importantly, an overwhelming degree of passion. We hope you share this with other fellow enthusiasts and keep the passion moving.

We actually offer a mobile service and do come to LA. Also, we have a loaner car should you drop off at our studio. We have a lot of clients from LA and San Diego that simply drop off, drive loaner car while we service their vehicle, then pick up a few days later. PM me if you're interested.

I am interested in the mobile detailing. Can you explain more about how that would work and pricing?
Thanks

Very simple. We simply figure out what service your vehicle requires, figure out logistics, and depending on where you're located, there would be a 10-30% distance charge. Best thing to do is give us a call.
