Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Full Detail.

[Artem Archakov]

This 996 had lots of swirls, but was tidy in all other ways.There was a bunch of random hairs in the carpets so i had to work up a sweat with the vacuum and a brush to get it out. also it was ~38*C ~100*F outside, so lots of water was drunk. I loved working with this color!


Enjoy!

ATD makes a few varieties. I'd say skip on their LED models and get a flourescent. $101 shipped from tooltopia. This is the one I have and I like it...
