RGK Detailing Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Evening folk's This rather stunning 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS was booked in for an Enhancement detail just over 6 weeks ago for a very good regular customer of mine, before I go on its worth mentioning that the paintwork does need more time spent to remove many of the RDS (Random deeper scratches) in the finish, the aim was to get the car looking the best I could in a day so the owner could proudly show it off at a rally that weekend. No before or wash stage pic's were taken as in traditional Scottish tradition it was chucking it down with rain outside! so I just got cracking on with the job before moving the car into the owners garage, the car had been restored just over 12 years ago and only used in dry weather was already fairly clean, the usual safe washing process was used using two buckets and a plush wash mitt, with all the finer intricate details being cleaned using AS G101 and soft detailing brushes, the wheels only had light brake dust on them, so were cleaned using and older wash mitt, soft detailing brushes and Meguiars Gold class shampoo, the full car was then clayed, rinsed and dried ready for inspection and polishing. after drying it was clear that the paintwork was sporting a number of scratches and swirl marks. few paint depth readings taken, this was consistent throughout the whole car. Megs 205 and 3M polishing pad was used with the rotary and refined with a 3M blue finishing pad, to remove the swirls and improve the gloss of the finish, the paintwork was fairly hard so required two or more sets on some panels to make a noticeable difference. Bonnet before after two sets of polishing. still some RDS remaining but still a massive improvement! O/S rear wing before after Roof before. after after all machine polishing was completed the paintwork was treated to two coats of Dodo Juice Purple haze pro, windows cleaned inside and out using Auto Finesse Crystal, all trim dressed with Autoglym bumper gel, wheels sealed with FK1000p, tyres dressed with AS Highstyle, all metal trim polished with Autoglym metal polish, interior was given a thorough vacuum and dust down and the exterior a final wipedown with Zaino Z8 ...and the finished product Thanks for looking Richard http://www.rgkdetailing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
