Hello everybody. I had the pleasure of detailing a 1999 Porsche that was beyond neglected. When in contact with this client he said he bought the car new and it was his garage queen for years. He mentioned that he moved and for the past five years the car sat outside in the New Jersey weather for about five years. He said that his life was getting busy and he began to let the car go. Then it snowballed with neglect from there. My goal with this car was to return it to the garage queen status again. Although it feels great to have a nice clean ride. As detailers we have the opportunity to add value to a car. This car is a prime example of both. The total time spent on this car was well over 40 man hours of complete reconditioning. I tried to focus on every little detail of this vehicle. Now lets see how this car came to me. Oh and for the record I learned this week not all exotics are babied!
Here is how this car came to me.
Those are just to show the how dirty this car was. I really can’t describe the amounts of tar and fallout on the paint. There was years of Residual dirt everywhere. So I First started with a complete dismantle of all wheels and tires , plates, plate brackets, bumper protectors and a few other things! When I removed the Plates you could see rust falling from the Bracket and the screws. It was pretty bad! Here are some pics of the process.
Take notice in this Picture of the rust I mentioned earlier in the write up.
Here you can see wear the rust stained the paint. Some was dust and some was embedded in the clear coat surface!
These are the Bumper protectors I was telling you about. I found removing these were important. It allowed me to get to every part of the rear bumper during this reconditioning .
Next I pulled all wheels and tires off and I was left with this.
