Client picked up this 997 C4S Cabriolet and was very displeased with the the "detail" the dealership did to it. There was no reason for a low mile car to look so poorly. After picking it up from the owner in San Francisco I began the work on it. Total time was over 30 hours. Initial pictures The dealer said they polished out all the swirls and that the paint was perfect. I think they need their eyes checked. There was compound residue in nearly every single body panel gap, courtesy of the dealer's reckless work After washing, decon, clay, and getting it on the lift prepped for correction Beginning to look better after proper compounding Deep scratches on the rear bumper. Much time was required to remove all of these After a lot of work.... Hard water etching Better Paint on the area behind the roof was extremely thin. Only light correction could be performed safely here After several hours of careful work on the engine cover, each slat perfected Tips before. Remember, the dealership signed off on this car as "fully detailed". I think not. These were not the optional black exhaust tips.....not at all. All finished, at 1:30am and ready to take back to client in SF. He was out of the state at the time, so he didn't mind the late drop off. Wheels dialed in after full removal Delivered back to San Francisco, tucked away safely in owner's garage. Thanks for checking it out
Love that color! I can't imagine the anger and disappointment the owner must have felt after what the dealership told him. Great job.
you did a great job, both with the car and capturing the damage in pictures. I hope your client can get some of the well spent $ back from the stealership that did this damage. For a job like this, do you charge hourly or by the job? 30 + hours is a lot of time, did you expect it to take that long when you first saw it? No doubt the work is great,just wondering what the final bill was ?
