1985 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet
Black/Black

29,636 miles
Original owner, vehicle is all original


Owner stated that his vehicle needs some attention. Statement of the year! I don’t believe this poor Porsche has ever been touched properly in its entire life. Surface was swirls city! Full of swirls, squirrels, scratches, hazing, and just dull/lifeless paint. Let’s breathe some life back into it!



The ‘details’:

Gary Dean shampoo. (finally used up the last of the gallon I had)
Medium clay mitt.
Adam’s Tire and Rubber cleaner.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
303 ‘vert top cleaner.
Master blaster to dry.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG.
Flex 3401.
Flex pixie.
Rupes iBrid.
Griot’s Fast Correcting Cream.
Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
Optimum panel wipe.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
GYEON Tire.
Auto Finesse Glass cleaner.
McKee’s37 Fast interior cleaner.
Metro vacuum.

Remarkable work...that thing REALLY needed your TLC.

I LOVE mid 80's 911s...and the Cabriolet reminds me of the car chase scene in Against All Odds...('cept I think THAT one was Red...and the Ferrari, driven by James Woods was black)

Nice re-paint!

LOL. Crazy detailing work done there, Scott. Serious question. Have you ever had a job you had to turn down because the paint was just beyond repair?

That's some great work!! To bad you weren't closer. I am having some trouble with black vehicles. So I have been looking to get mine professionally corrected. It's kicking my butt!!

That 5th and 6th picture looks like the paint is gone. After a job like that is there a "maintenance" to keep it from getting that bad?

Scott, what does something like that cost? Y’all can message me if you want. I’m in Punta Gorda, but really don’t need anything. Just curious.
