Default Gleaming Kleen: Porsche 996 Turbo

This was booked in over 2 days and just returned from a few days at "Spa" race circuit and has over 600BHP and a few other Mods

First up was to clean the wheels with P21S wheel gel and various brushes.


Tyres and wheel arches cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser


Vehicle was then soaked with a citrus degreaser including door shut



vehicle was washed with megs shampoo plus and a ***** sponge and then vehicle was sprayed with AS Tardis to help with the claying


Vehicle was then clayed with Sonus green and last Touch as lube



Paint reading were taken with the bonnet showing a reading that showed it had been resprayed with rest of vehicle averaging 100-110microns apart from roof which showed 70 a average of 70 microns


Some of the defects








the true extent of the defects cleary shown with the halogen lights










I decided to hit the bonnet first which was done with 3m Fast Cut Plus on a cutting Pad and took 2-3 hits


Once i finished the bonnet I started to work on the front wings and work my way down the car using menz 3.02 amd a 3m black waffle pad and this is when the problems begin. The "sticky paint syndrome started at this point and the polish instantly started gumming up and the paint grabbing the pad so I gave up with taking correction shots. This really tried my patience and made it into a long day and several times I had to stop to calm down. I tried everything i had but found adding Ultra Fina and loads of last touch helped a little but still fought all the way with it and had to change my techinque

50/50's

After




After this I refined the finish using Ultrfina on a 3m blue pad and gave the vehicle a rinse before giving it a wipe down with IPA. 3 coats of zaino Z2 was applied to paintwork and wheels and then a final wipe down with Z8

Tyres were treated with 2 coats of z16 and wheels also recieved a coat of zaino cs


Afters





































As always thanks for looking

Great work and beautiful car. I have seen several people post that they clean the door shuts the way you showed and I was wondering after agitation what method do you use to get the soapy solution off? Do you wipe with a damp MF or do you do something different. I really like the idea of cleaning this way and wondered what the whole process was.
