Default The Twanksta Detailed: 1998 Porsche 911

A buddy of mine from high school saw my previous detail threads and wanted to get his dads Porsche cleaned up. It is garage kept and in Pristine condition besides a few rock chips and the horible swirling and light scratches in the clearcoat. I jumped on the oppurtunity to detail the Porsche because I have always loved them since I was little. I also heard F-Minus mention how much fun they are to work on and I have to agree very fun to work the curves on this thing! After seeing the Porsche he then let me polish the wife's Lexus IS300, so look for my other thread also! Enjoy!

Exterior:
Optimum Car Wash
Meguairs Instant Detail Spray
Adams Clay Bar
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Adam's Undercarriage Spray
Menzerna IP
Menzerna 106FF
Menzera PO85RD
Lusso Oro

Tools:

Dual Work Lamps
Dewalt Hi Speed Rotary
LC CCS Orange Pad
LC CCS White Pad
LC CCS Blue Pad
Tons of Microfiber Towels
DD "Uber" Red Drying Towel
DD "Uber" Wool Mitt
Grit Guards
3m Masking Tape

Here are the pics. Sorry there are so many! This thing just loves getting its picture taken

I would have taken it dirty, but it looks so much nicer cleaned up. I have a soft spot for Porsches. Great work.

Easily the sexiest style of 911 yet built. The 993 with a GT2 wing or that big whale tail just look fabulous.
