High performance "Momobile", this vehicle is a few months old but was in need of serious cleaning and paint corrective steps to clear up factory defects along with issues missed in the new car delivery.

At first the job was to be a 80% correction with a interior cleaning, however the client who I have done his 997 Turbo authorized a full correction as I assured him if the car was brought back with timely intervals the vehicle could stay like this always.

As the vehicle came in.

Embedded contaminates in the factory emblems which would require steaming to correct later in the job.

Deep marring in the finish.

Corrected.

Rare for Porsche sand scratches in the finish near the mirror support, usually only encounter sand scratches on 997 Turbo/GT3RS rear and front bumpers.

Corrected.

Hard to capture the defects on the white finish in pictures, this was one of the better shots.

The black trim and "B" pillars needed attention.

In pictures the camera may not pick up the marring on the white finish.....the tailights tell the real story.

Sticky tar and road film required aggressive measures.

After the paint correction was accomplished I turned my attention to the interior.

Dead pedal area carpet was slightly dirty....steamcleaning fixed the area.

Finished interior pics, the 2011 Cayenne is a improvement that was evident right away in the fit and finish department.

what machine/combos did you use on the paint? a few of us were commenting in a different thread how hard the clear was on metallic Cayennes-was that such the case on this gloss white?
 
Your comment about the fit and finish for 2011 brings back memories of one I cleaned not to long ago. It was a 2007 or so and what stood out to me is that they borrowed a windshield wiper steering wheel stalk from a Volkswagen Jetta...

I'm pretty sure he uses a Vapor Clean, can't wait to pick one up.

That's right...Vapor clean TR6 over 5.5 years old now and going strong, however a more powerful unit is on my "To buy list" after I get a DeFelsko 200 series paint depth meter.
 
Now this is what I like seeing. It's been a while since ive seen a good write up like this. thanks for posting.

While there are so many pics here that show the impeccable work, this one simple shot says it all. I really have to start putting on diapers before opening Auto Concierge threads.



Thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing forward.
