Porsche Cayman Correctional

[premiershine9]

Catching up from all the write-ups I haven't posted on here yet!


Hey there everybody,

Up here is a very low mileage 2006 Cayman S in Midnight blue- the car is driven hard- autox'ed/ tracked in NASA at various tracks up here in the east coast!

This Cayman is unique- I was informed that this exact model was used by Porsche for its advertising and print media, being a midnight blue/ terracotta interior combo it is a unique combination!

The focus for this project was to of course revitalize the interior and remove the heavy soiling from the leather bits and various hard plastic areas but also fully correct the exterior.

Correction was performed with PC/ FLEX/ RUPES D/A's, various foam pads, M101, Sonax PF

Opti Coat 2.0 was used for LSP, since the car is tracked regularly, the existing clear film was left on and corrected as best possible- opti of course applied on top as well.


Befores-

Interior needed quite a bit of work- you can see the dark shade of the steering wheel here- tons of imbeded dirt which would be removed
