Another 911...

Another bad case of a previous detailing job, but even worse than the last one I corrected. Finish looked and felt like they used #85 and wool for hours.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to 100% as I didn't want to polish too much, not knowing what was previously done on the soft paint, so here's what I did and the photos...

Wash: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got wheel brightener 4:1
Dry: Cali blade and meg's water magnet
Clayed with Meg's Smooth Surface clay

Polish:
Menzerna SIP | Meg's 7006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | Makita rotary @ 1500 RPM
Menzerna 106ff | Meg's 8006 pad | PC random orbital @ speed 5
Klasse SG on top

Meg's Hyper Dressing on all exterior trim and wheel wells 2:1
Meg's NXT on tires
KSG on wheels
Mother's on exhaust tips

Interior:
Vacuumed everything
Meg's hyper dressing on all interior plastic/trim/vynil 2:1
Lexol on leather

Stoner IG on glass inside & out

Took a little over 9 hours

Photos: (first couple after shots were taken after SIP/7006 so some hazing and holograms were still present) I'm hoping to get a few whole car photos out in the sun tomorrow when the owner picks it up as snow is melting here and everything is wet.

OMG. Those before pics are horrible!

Great turnaround on something so abused!

That wasn't a wool pad they used, it was steel wool. Damn, that was terrible. Nice job restoring it.

It's just paint.. I've been using it for a long time now... on my old BMW it seemed to keep brake dust from clinging to the wheels and made them easier to clean
