| Detailed - 2004 Porsche 911 - Cobalt Blue
Detailed a friend's new to him 2004 Porsche 911 in Cobalt Blue. I really enjoyed this colour as it can take on a variety of different shades. Additionally, this car has an extremely 54k on the clock. The condition of the paint and interior testified to the well preserved nature of the vehicle.

After claybarring the car the biggest issue was holograms all over the car.  IMG_2621 by K2's World, on Flickr

Took her inside and decided a single stage polish was the best way to go as the overall condition of the car was good. Used Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 on a Porter Cable.
A couple of 50/50's showing the difference.  IMG_2631 by K2's World, on Flickr  IMG_2637 by K2's World, on Flickr

The car is finished in a light grey interior. It was showing some minor wear but overall in excellent condition.  IMG_2647 by K2's World, on Flickr
Cleaned up the driver's seat. A 50/50 showing the difference on the seat bottom.  IMG_2649 by K2's World, on Flickr

Unfortunately the sun did not want to make an appearance today. So inside we go. Under the light finished shot after applying Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant topped with Optimum Car Wax.  IMG_2670 by K2's World, on Flickr

Brought her outside for some finished shots - that deep blue really starts to pop.  IMG_2669 by K2's World, on Flickr

Only peek of sun today so far to show the depth of colour.  IMG_2662 by K2's World, on Flickr
A quick shot of the whole car. Tires dressed with Adam's Super VRT for a low-gloss look.  IMG_2664 by K2's World, on Flickr
Absolutely a gem of a car in fantastic condition. I was kind of cold to Porsches through past experiences but after driving and spending a couple of days with this car, I'm smitten.
Hope I can find one in such good condition when I'm bored of the S2000 someday.
Anyways, thanks to the owner for letting me take a stab at cleaning her up.

Nice work, Roach!
Side note: I think I've seen this car around town a few times. The owner is a bit of a douche. How do you know the guy?

I heard this car was actually a corolla with a 911 body dropped onto the frame.

As I'm sure you may not want to spend that much on buying the machine/brush, I would recommend trying an OTC product like Lexol Leather cleaner first:
- Spray on to the surface and use a lot of elbow grease to scrub the surface for 30 seconds to a minute. Do small sections at a time.
- After each section take a separate dry terry cloth and wipe the surface while putting pressure on the seat. Your terry cloth should start to show some discolouration. That's the surface oil coming out of the leather.
- Once you have cleaned the seats just follow up with a leather conditioner. Try to do it at the end of a day so the conditioner can spend overnight penetrating the leather.
