Invisible Touch Detailing Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, Here we have Amir's recently acquired Porsche 996 Turbo, with a few extras of course The car is now producing a monsterous 650hp at the wheels! The car came to Invisible Touch to recieve a stage 1 paintwork enhancement with 2 applications of protection and a caliper refresh. This was the car on arrival... Firstly the car was jetwashed and then many areas cleaned with APC and fine brushes were washing alone would not reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many readings were taken per panel, the higher numbers showing clear evidence of previous paintwork The paintwork was then inspected under halogen and LED lighting Polished with the Makita rotary, 3M polishing pad and backing plate using Meguiars 205 as the primary polish, with a small amount of #83 to give a little more bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Proceeding around the Porsche Onto the beautiful carbon spolier Once all polishing was complete, i turned to the calipers. As quite often seen with these, the lacquer was beginning to peel. Several options were available to this from rubbing them down to remove the peel thus creating a good key and then hand finishing, to completely stripping them and powder coating. If the latter was chosen it would obviously make perfect sense to also use a rebuild kit in the process. As they were functioning fine, the first option was chosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 New Porsche decals were also applied Although soon to be replaced, whilst the wheels were off they were given a good clean inside and out. Being on the ramp and having a good view underneath, it would have been criminal not to give the stunning exhaust system a really good polish. Sadly i forgot to take finished pics of it! The paintwork was fully wiped down with IPA to remove polishing oils allowing the finishing products to bond better, increasing their durability. After discussing options, it was chosen to firstly apply 1 layer of Collinite. This was buffed off and left over night to fully cure The following day i applied another layer of Swissvax Best Of Show Glass was polished, plastics and tyres dressed. The interior was hoovered and dusted. These were the final pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
