02 Porsche Carrera Correctional - premiershine9 - 03-08-2013

Hey all-

Haven't had time to document my work recently, will document more once April and May roll around before I relocate.

Up here is a Carrera with significant defects- marring, heavy swirling and the drivers door which was burned and unfinished from a body shop- you'll see the pics.

Correctional was performed over two days and took around 15 hours to complete.

Equipment used:
- FLEX DA
- RUPES 21
- PC 7424
- various pads- yellow/ green foam and Surbuf R
- M105, Menz SIP, Sonax PF

LSP applied- two coats of Menzerna PL

Interior was given a Full Basic treatment- interior carpet and mats exracted, leather conditioned with Leatherique overnight and all the hard plastic cleaned and degreased.

^^^^ I literally never get time to take care of my own car- the Passat is due for a major claying/ one stepper and finally a thick coating application like opti coat or another ceramic coating.

You should've seen the front end- this was from coming back up from WV and the MM Ski trip

Can't tell you how many clients I have booked/ backed up- i'll throw you on the list though man! Taking care of friends first of course!

You are still planning on moving down to Raleigh / Durham right? If so I will make a day trip up there for your service at some point this year Smile

My paint isn't that bad, but it is close.

Do you have experiencing buffing / waxing around areas that have been hit with Plastidip? I am worried about it ripping off during the process

Yes, whether or not that will be in May or later in the year will depend upon finding an internship there

Unfortunately, I haven't had experience with plasti dip- generally, as I do with any graphics/ clear film material, I simply mask off the outer most edge- would you say the coating would be harmed if I were to apply tape to it? For reference I am using 3M green. I can do some research as well.

Re: 02 Porsche Carrera Correctional - WRXtranceformed - 03-13-2013

I don't think tape will hurt it. I can always touch it up if it gets pulled off!
