This was one done more than 6 months ago and although this write up is a pretty short one as I didn't really take many "during" pictures it's such a fantastic colour I thought I'd post it anyways :thumb:

The car is on our Loyalty Scheme and having had a few Protection Details carried out on it over the winter months it was now time for some paint correction.

A few pics of the car after we'd collected it:






It was then prepped in the usual manner...


























Paint Defects:






The paint was corrected with Wolf's WP-4N and LC Light Cut Pads on the DA then followed up with Wolf's WP-1N and a LC HT Finishing Pad.

The same process was applied to the tail lights:

Before:



After:





The car was then rinsed off outside:



Followed by a thorough blow dry session with the Black Baron:




The following products were applied to the car:

*Paintwork - Wolf's Body Wrap
*Wheels - Swissvax Autobahn
*Tyres - Swissvax Pneu
*Tailpipes - Blackfire Fine Cut followed by Meguiars NXT
*Exterior trim - Wolf's Trim Coat
*Glass - Nanolex Ultra Glass Sealant
*Arches - Aerospace 303



Here are the finished shots, as I said a rather short write up but I think the afters make up for it, I'll have mine in this colour please!










































And here's some more Porsche's we've done over the last wee while


993 C4 in for a Protection Detail:









997 Cabriolet - 4 Day Correction Detail:









Another 997 Turbo, this time in for a Protection Detail:










928 GTS - 4 Day Correction Detail:









993 Techart Turbo - 5 Day Correction Detail:











And finally, brand spanking new 997 Turbo S in solid black but still needed a 3 Day Correction Detail!











Hopefully that's been a decent fix for all you Porsche junkies

Thanks for looking.

Yup. The 993 turbo is my favourite Porsche ever.

Okay, maybe joint favourite with the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 LE

Its just turned 27,000 miles I think.
Its one of only 11 X50 models too, so 450 bhp from the factory.

I just love the centre lock wheels on the Turbo S.

I assume it must be a huge locking wheel nut though...
