On a black car well worth the investment, every x amount of years depending on your usage. I'm on the camp of doing it myself too but yes it's extremely time consuming and your attention to detail/patience must be there.

Curious on the products used too!

Snowbird - I use to be a fan of natural wax too, but honestly some of the polymers out there are very impressive you'd be hard pressed to see a difference. Menzerna is my go to right now.

 

Great work as always by Zach. He's the only guy in Illinois I would feel safe sending our clients to and knowing they will get a great job done.

 

gorgeous. great work

 

I had never had paint correction on my 95 but spent the $1K and a weeks worth to let the pros do it. Worth every $

 

Thanks for joining in and giving information on the products used as well as the pictures Zach.

 

Has your car been repainted? A factory finish would never be this soft. One of my repainted black cars (not a Porsche) had this issue. I personally found no matter how careful I was, swirls were 100% inevitable. The only way around it was to clear bra the entire car right after the paint correction. I hope you don't experience the same thing I did.

 

Looks great, what did you use to dry your car with, steel wool?

 

Why are so many people drying their cars with anything other than a blower? I got mine at Griot's and never physically touch the car anymore when drying. RO water and a blower. And clear wrap front half. Done.

 

We got together and tried the popular waxes and synths side by each on our hoods and found Duracore Top Coat to be the easiest to apply - put it on glass, rubber, etc. - and provided the best shine. Best thing is no white edges to clean up.

 

I just finished my Arctic silver car with Sonax Polymer. It was very easy to use and looks great.

 

If you find someone that knows how to wet sand, you can probably get those pit marks and remaining surface scratches out of the paint.

It looks great though, night and day difference.

 

Is it normal for the ceramic coating applicator to scratch the paint? I plan to Opticoat my 964 once I paint correct it and I haven't heard about Porsche paint being so soft that applying the ceramic layer will be an issue

 

Have always washed and waxed my own cars for 45+ years but after my younger son took his (my "old" ) GT3 and California cabriolet for paint correction and ceramic pro coating, I took my recently restored 914 and new 981 Spyder for the treatment in Scottsdale by Detail Boss. It is amazing ! And with my new Master Blaster it will be a joy to wash them too!

Now my older son wants these guys to do the 993 which is in IA- that presents a problem...

I guess old dogs can learn new tricks...

 

I don't guess anybody knows where I can get that kind of paint correction done in the Birmingham, Alabama area...or Atlanta for that matter?

 

I absolutely know where you can get paint correction that meets your wants and needs. Me.

Even though my shop is now mostly known among new car owners as a great place for clear bra, coatings and other new car protection services, I got my start in paint correction and detailing. As a matter of fact, we are working on restoring the paint(and much more) on a low mileage e24 M6 right now. If you would like more information on that, check out our Instagram acct. as it is the featured project going on. I estimate that the project will consume 100+ hours in total.

For an unedited look at what we are capable on, on even some of the softest black paint, check out this video:


We also offer a pick up service with our enclosed trailer for those wanting to keep miles off their rides.
