Porsche Cayenne seriously neglected!!

Thought this would be interesting for some people too see. Some cars can't always be made perfect but can be improved massively. With these kind of jobs safety for the clearcoat is also a big priority. As you will see in some of the pictures some of the heavier marks are left with this in mind. This car had also been painted on various panels so needed some care, for this reason also some of the 50/50's weren't pushed right up too the tape line but then rectified after removal of the tape. Also worth detacking the tape when working on something which is older or has had paintwork, just run the masking tap across your shirt or trousers so it's less sticky.

So the before's:






















After the wash it looked much better but was still riddled in tar:










Into the garage,the car was clayed and then paint depth readings were taken. After this a test panel was done to settle on a polish and pad combination:

 

Then it was wiped down,coated,interior done etc onto the finished pictures:

 

Thanks for looking,hope this gives more of an example of a heavily used car and what can be achieved still.

 

I think of this all the time mate but it never seems to be a reality, plus don't want to capture my ugly mug on camera

 

Thanks mate, been out in yours lately? R has gone

 

Thanks mate, not every car can be made 100% but this was very bad, most detailers just don't show these kind of pictures.

 

Thanks Lee loving your build thread by the way.

 

Product called Britemax Ironmax, great wheel cleaner and it turns red/purple when it hits iron deposits. Ironx is similar but smells much worse and doesn't actually clean just removes iron.

 

Yeah works well for bodywork too especially on the rear of the megane.
