Invisible Touch Detailing: Black Porsche GT3RS

Postby InvisibleTouchDetailing » Sun Nov 22, 2009 5:14 pm

This w'end i spent 14 hours working on a stunning piece of Porsche history, a beautiful, black GT3RS..

Lack of 'during' pics this time as i just wanted to crack on :)

First off the wheels were jetwashed then left to soak in bilberry. Then aggitated with brushes. Actually this was done 3 times. Due to the car being used a lot on tracks the brake dust was baked on, there was also a lot of tar and rubber on the inside of the rims so i clayed these. The owner removed graphics from the doors and rear wings from a previous trackday so they could be corrected underneath. The car had not been washed here.

After being washed using the 2 bucket method, it was clayed with gloss it mild clay and last touch. It was then washed again.

It was then taken inside and taped up ready for machine polishing. Was a lovely garage to work in, even the floor was a piece of Porsche history :)

It was machine polished with a Makita rotary using menzerna 85RD and 106FA with 3M polishing and finishing pads and spot pads for the tighther areas.
It was then wiped down with menzerna top inspection.
Dodo juice lime prime lite was then applied by hand and was followed up with 2 coats of victoria concourse wax.
The engine bay was wiped down and all rubbers and plastics were treated with 303 aerospace protectant.
External platics as well as door and window seals were treated with autoglym bumper care.
The wheels were treated with poorboys wheel sealant and 2 applications of meguiars endurance tyre gel.

Lastly the car was teated with zaino Z8 grand finale.

This picture was last night after 1 application of wax and no z8

Here are the final pics, i'll have some professional pictures taken today, later next week which i'll post up.

Looks like the profile of another porker!

Awesome bit of metal....how you can restrain yourself from putting it backwards through a country hedge is beyond me..

I would need very 'damage' hefty insurance if I had a business like that!!
