Detail Addict - 1987 Porsche Cabriolet

Another Silver Package. Since it's just a silver, there were 'some' corrections, but not perfect as you can see from some of the pictures.

Wash
- Camspray Foam Gun
- Detail Addict Water Softening System
- Detail Addict Car Soap
- Detail Addict Grit Guard
- Detail Addict Wash Mitt
- Detail Addict Waffle Weave Drying MF
- Detail Addict Engine+Wheel Cleaner
- ACE TurboStick

Clay/Polish/Wax
- Porter Cable 7424XP
- Detail Addict Backing Plate
- Detail Addict CCS Pad Set
- Detail Addict Medium Grade Clay Bar
- Detail Addict Detail Spray (lube)
- Detail Addict G-2500 Polish
- Detail Addict G-3500 Polish
- Detail Addict Liquid Wax
- Detail Addict Carnauba Wax

Miscellaneous
- Detail Addict Glass Cleaner
- Detail Addict Glass Towel
- Detail Addict Rub&Shine
- Detail Addict Dressing Sponge

A bit dirty, but the car was in a pretty decent shape


can't really tell, but the top really needed some work


and and back as well...



off to work!



camspray never disappoint!




quick dry with the waffle drying MF and blow out all the water



closer look on the paint after a good wash and clay



before and after the Detail Addict G-2500 Polish. It corrected pretty goo amount but you can still see some of the deeper swirl marks/scratches. This gives you a pretty good idea what our G-2500 can do.





Finish it off with some Detail Addict G-3500, Liquid Wax, and Carnauba Wax




Detail Addict Rub & Shine!
