Alright I have to say when I got the call from my customer on this one I was very excited []

The Porsche Carrera GT! Red on Black! 5000 miles in pretty good shape, it needed a very thorough claying, and had some swirls and light scratches that needed to be polished out, and off course the Swissvax Treatment! The interior was cleaned up and the engine was wiped down.

Time: about 8 hours (2 in the crew)

Wow looks great man, nicely done.

I would have loved to rub all over a CGT -_- Be honest, did you get a chance to take it out?

[ScheerSpeed]

i am envious phil...

The owner is super nice but after he said Porsche did a warranty repair on his clutch I said forget it....(if it did not go thru warranty it would have been $30k out of pocket!)

My sister is dating a guy with that same porsche. Funny story actually. She told me he drove a porsche but i simply brushed it off (plenty of porsches here in Miami), until I saw him pull away from my home in that thing. NUTS.

Great detail...

[purplewidow]

wow red doesn't do that car justice.. but after it looked so wet and glossy!!! perfection buddy!!!

[lizak187]

such a sweet car...what is the current market value on this bad boy 350k?

[Deda]

[robbie211]

beautiful car and a very nice detail!

[musc]

Awesome detail for an awesome car!

[Maxtor]

Beautiful work on a stunning car.

However, I sat in one at the Toronto Auto Show a couple years ago and it was very tiny inside... I am 6'4" and could never drive that car.

Have to save up for the Bentley instead...

that's why this car isn't your typical daily driver


great work!

[pikkashoe]

I cant imagine driving that car with the shifter being up so high must be comfortable.
Anyone else? Its at the same height as the steering wheel???

[m2kev]

Great work man, I would be afraid to work on such a car, mainly because I suck at detailing at the moment haha

[Sam12345]

aww CGT so sexy

[OEKlM]

nice job once again.... gotta love the smiles u and dan got.. like u guys got a chubby hehe


btw do you always tape the crevices?

[Detailers Domain]

thanks yes sometime we tape the jambs up so the dust sits on the tape and not in the jambs

[SpecC]

amazing job phil and dan!

[PaulBailey@ltbmw]

great job!
looks sick!

[remmib]

Great job on a sick car.

[agentf1]

Wow, I am jelous also. That is my dream Porsche. I am surprised you did not break out the CR for a car of that stature but that said it did look awesome with the Concorso on it. I have to agree with whoever said red does not do that car justice but it still looks awesome. I really like the interior with the red stitching, it reminds me of my Z06. Unfortunately thats wheer the similarities end.

Did you get a chance to drive it at all? I would be happy sitting in it with the motor running.

Great Job Phil.
