Detailer's Domain: 997 C2S / Paint correction
This was a detail that came from a Rennlist member, after months of going back and forth we finally got the schedule figured out and I finally got to meet this mint condition C2S (minus the paint of course, ) so after 2 years of ownership it had seen washes and waxes and was never polished, due to time constraints and no one in the customer's area to take care of it. When I got the car I found that the paint was dull and had tons of wash marks.
So a 2 step polish was done with Menzerna PO203 with an Uber Orange and Green pad followed by Menzerna PO85RD, I finished the car with Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Hmm, i have a few Porsches in the queue for a detail, this seems like a great combination, and I need supplies...
BTW, outstanding job! The last picture is a "must" picture for a Porsche IMO, it shows one of the most appealing curves of the car and shows interesting reflections! I love it!
