Detailer's Domain: 911 Turbo X50 Cab, what a mess

Look what happens when you loan out your 911 Turbo Cab (X50)

I get a call from Marc Faraj at Town Motors Porsche and he tells me he did something bad.....

I asked him what can be so bad?

He said: I loaned out my 911 Turbo Cab to a buddy.
I said: How bad he says you'll see......

When I received the car it was early morning the sun wasn't out yet, the next day when I was able to pull it out I couldn't believe my eyes! The car was shot!

What was done -

- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Tires dressed with einszett Vinyl Rubber Care
- 2 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)

That car was a pig sty. Great job as usual. By the way...I hate those fake quad exhaust tips Porsche used. I mean seriously, fake tips on a sports car of that price/reputation?

How can someone do that to a car? A Porsche no less? I'm hyperventilating looking at it. But once again, Phil to the rescue

Is it time for my spring detail yet?

I can't believe his buddy is responsible for all of that, unless it was a long term loaner...Just saying.

Clearly this was not an overnight or weekend "borrow the car"..looks like a few dozen automated car washes to get the finish to look like that....

Great job Phil, wish you were down here so yo could do my rides!
