Porsche 997 C2S Detail

[detailersdomain]

Here goes another great P-car detail, exterior, interior, and engine.

The condition of the car was pretty good but the customer brought it to me after he track day at Limerock.

The exterior was definitely dirty, car was never clayed and never polished however washed frequently and waxed. (not a neglected car by any means)

Interior wasn't all to bad just a wipe down and leather feeding.

Engine no too bad but still needed some work.
