Presidential Detailing: 2009 Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet
This car I scheduled immediately after finishing the 94 Turbo 3.6, as he is friends with the owner. After seeing the turn around on the Turbo, he had to have his done! The car however was half covered in clear bra, so I did not have to work as hard as I did on the other which was a treat! The entire nose of the car from the doors forward was covered in clear bra as well as the lights, mirrors and windshield frame. The car is also a convertible, so I did not have to polish out a roof either! The car is practically brand new, gets washed weekly but only driven on the weekends. The owner used a car cover for the majority of the time he owned it, and it was starting to wear down on the finish, especially on the rear quarters.
NOTE: Please forgive me on some of the photographs, my camera is about half broken so it doesn't take the most consistent shots anymore. If anyone has a Nikon D3000, let me know how you like it!

After a thorough was and clay, I pulled the car inside under the spotlamps. It was in worse shape than I had thought.

I then turned my attention to the wing/trunk area, which took the most time of any part of the car due to its nature of small spaces and tight angles. I carefully taped off anything that could be hit or burnt by the polisher and kept a very close eye on everything I was doing.
