Hey,

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Things have been a little hectic the past week.

Anyways so the past couple of days I spent my time at the Porsche dealership on a trade in that was in horrendous condition. It was my first detail at that dealership and the people there were great. Although it was disappointing that someone would treat a car, any car the way the previous owner treated this beauty.

While I was there I realised I may have to trade to a pick up truck. So my G35X maybe headed out the door. Great for business but I would hate to see her go.

Back to business.

During the inspection stage the roof and rear hatch had particularly low paint reading and was hit with the PC DA with a much less aggresive combination.

Please excuse some of the untouched wheel wells. The car was washed and sat in the bay. I did a quick ONR on the paintwork and went at it.

Whoops one last thing. I was only to address the paintwork at the request of the client.

Anyways enough of my babbling.

Enjoy,
Nick

I wouldnt sell your G, just pickup some used work pickup...

And thats awesome work. I take it the guy liked the car wash?

 

Awesome work!! Looks like you are a very worthy competitor to Kevin in the GTA!

 

I haven't even seen a 996's paint in that bad of condition, let alone a 997. Looks like he's been washing it with 600 grit paper.

Good work!

 

Great job

 

Financially speaking having two vehicles wouldn't make financial sense. I was looking at the tacoma, tundra or F150 since they have amazing rebates on the F150's.

From the feedback I received the client loved the outcome

Wow thanks for the amazing compliment Kevin does amazing work and it is definitely an honour to be even mentioned in the same sentence as him . I have tons to learn and will continue to learn.

Thanks for the compliment. I asked the client if they've seen anything worse apparently that was not the worse. So hopefully they'll give me that challenge as well

Thanks

 

looks good!

 

Dang. I want a detail like this, but i can't find anyone in the Nashville area with these skills. Good work
