1997 Porsche 911 Mars Red Correction

This car is a consignment. It was repainted at some point and this painter was also less than critical of what should leave the paint booth.

Single Stage paint that didn't look oxidized in the normal sense. Instead it looked like it had some white residue all over it. Definately looked dull though

I was asked if there was a way to get the paint shiny.


I devided the whole car in half by taping it in the middle for a change.

Process:

"Awesome" apc wipedown
HD UNO rotary on hood yellow lc pad 2100rpm
HD UNO flex 3401 yellow lc pad
HD UNO on UNO orange pad
HD UNO red ccs pad
HD UNO on 3" orange pad by hand & flex 3401
HD POXY gray 3M pad


Before













After polishing











Hood before



Hood after





50/50











All polishing is done!











After HD POXY

Wow, stunning change. The aged paint made the car look like it was from the 70s.

I have a red 1993 325i with single stage paint that I detail. It actually looks exactly like this (white looking film) every time before I do a correction. Always cleans up nicely though. Great job!
