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 - Exterior - Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down - Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down - 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) - Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight - Einszett Glanz was used as a last step - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned Interior Detail - All interior surfaces cleaned and protected, including glass, and all vinyl/plastic surfaces. - Carpets and upholstery vacuumed. Products used: (feel free to click the link below for more info) Exterior: Adam's Car Wash P21S Total Auto Wash (engine, presoak, wheel wells, tires) Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Swissvax Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer Einszett Spray Wax Meguiars M105 Menzerna PO85RD einszett Glanz Wheels/Tires P21S Wheel Cleaner einszett Vinyl Rubber Care - Tires, wheel wells, engine Interior: einszett Interior Kit Tools: Infratech 5300 Flex 3403 Makita Metabo The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Brushes Cam Spray Pressure Wash and Foam Canon Attachment Interior Before ![]() ![]() Accumulated dust and grime on the rear seats ![]() More dust /coffee stains etc ![]() ![]() Greasy dressing on the center console ![]() ![]() ![]() Under the rear seats ![]() ![]() and more dust ![]() ![]() the mess in the door pockets ![]() ![]() Vac ![]() ![]() After vaccuming I found this apple core under the passenger side seat ![]() einszett Cockpit on the driver's side foot well ![]() ![]() Removing the greasy dressing from the interior ![]() ![]() ![]() einszett Leathercare on the seats and leather ![]() ![]() Before rear seats ![]() After rear seats ![]() After interior - sums it all up a matte finish! ![]() Exterior Before ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Imperfections on the car prior to the wash and clay ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pre-soak, wheel cleaning, wheel well cleaning, engine cleaning, top cleaning, wash, clay, masking ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Measuring the paint ![]() Exhaust tip before ![]() ![]() Exhaust tip after ![]() ![]() Before engine ![]() After engine ![]() Raggtop Protectant on the top ![]() Car wash wiped down with Menzerna Top Inspection ![]() einszett Vinyl Rubber Care on the tires and wheel wells ![]() Compound and Polishing - Before - After 50/50 Masking ![]() ![]() Before Fender ![]() ![]() ![]() After Fender ![]() ![]() ![]() Before hood shot (inspected with the Fenix TK11) ![]() As you can see tons of road rash on the front clip ![]() Before shot of the lights ![]() Polishing out the rear taillights with the Flex ![]() Before ![]() 50/50 door shot (after M105 on the left, right side untouched) ![]() ![]() 50/50 shot (left side finished with Menzerna PO85RD) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After ![]() We use the G Techniq C4 Trim Restorer on various trim on the car, the windshield cowl and the bumperettes (we first cleaned it up with Menzerna Top Inspection) ![]() Before shot of the bumperettes ![]() Clean up with Top Inspection ![]() ![]() After ![]() ![]() Before Cowl ![]() After Cowl ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cleaning up all the jambs with einszett Spray Wax ![]() einszett Glanz for the last step ![]() Glanz was applied with the PC 7424 XP with an Uber Black Pad ![]() Removal ![]() ![]() After ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Permission was granted by the owner to post photos and write up) |

Wow! what an amazing cleanup!
It makes me wonder, if his friend disrespected the inside and outside of the car to that degree (apple core...ugh!) I can only imagine the abuse the engine and transmission were put through! Car looks better than new, excellent job and what a beautiful car! |

Poor thing was abused, the apple core did me in.
![]() Awesome turnaround, that car is beautiful when clean. I bet the owner will think twice before loaning his Turbo out to "buddies" next time.

Came out great... How long was it loaned that it was so marred up? Did the buddy try to do him a favor and get it cleaned at the local chop shop?

Out of curiosity, and because I may be interested in your services in the future, roughly how much would this job cost? My car is nowhere near as bad, but I'd like to have a rough pricing baseline.
