I don't know what to say but my customer recently bought this beautiful 993 C4S and its in great mechanical shape, interior is in excellent shape, and the body is in great shape for an 11 year old car. However the paint is another story. The paint felt like sandpaper and was filled with tons of fillers, swirls, light scratches, tons of imperfections.

I had the car before the New Year and it will be delivered later today.....Take a look.

that is prob the best example of what detailing can do...

that car looked like it needed a new paint job!!
and for a small fraction of the cost and hassle you made it new again.

fantastic wacko bro!!

What *really* boggles the mind is how anyone could let such a fine automobile fall into such a state.

Amazing job Phil. I'm sure the owner was thrilled with the results.
