911fanatic vs S65
This car belongs to the same client we recently did the black Porsche turbo cab for. When he dropped it off his instructions were not to go crazy as this was just his shitty weather car. :shakehead: We settled on a protection detail but as you'll see in the pics, once it was washed, it was very apparent it would need a little more loving to make it right.

Jambs, motor and trims cleaned with Exclusive APC at 3:1
Washed with Exclusive soap and Megs washmitt
Wheels cleaned with Griots HD Wheel Cleaner/ Exclusive Wheel Cleaner
Tires and inner fenders cleaned with Exclusive APC used straight
Clayed with Exclusive Fine Clay
Decontaminated with Iron X
Single stage polish carried out with PC / B&S Green / Menz Power Finish
LSP was Exclusive Sealant
Wheels sealed with BF AMS and tires dressed with Exclusive Tire Dressing
Leather cleaned and conditioned with Exclusive Leather betas
Interior glass cleaned with Exclusive glass cleaner
Exterior glass polished with Autoglym Car Glass Polish

Total time - approx 10 hours

One dirty Merc upon arrival






Heavy brake dust build up.




Car was a wee bit on the dirty side. Not surprising as it's his crappy weather car.




Lots of crud was built up in the grills in the hood.


Jambs were dirty, but not too bad.The smaller wheel woolies work great on tight jambs.


Motor looked like it had never been done.




Some swirls and a nice scratch on the rear fender. Hmmmm...... Looks like the protection detail is out the window.


Major crud build up in the trunk jamb.






Trying Griots HD wheel Cleaner. Although it does turn red, it doesn't turn the wheel blood red like Sonax.


Cleaned this rear wheel up nicely.


Another dirty wheel needing some TLC




Exclusive Wheel Cleaner soaking


Some holograms for your amusement.










Some misc damage.




Snacks!


Interior was quite dusty but not dirty






Some more holos for you!










Paint was more than a little dirty.


50/50 of drivers door. BS Yellow / Power Finish on my PC






An 07 Carrera had shown up and was patiently awaiting its turn.


Wheels looking proper.


Not exactly sure what the hack at the tire shop used to do this, but it obviously wasn't a good idea.






Pillars were quite badly marred. This is them before....


And after.


50/50 of trunklid




Exhaust tips before....


and after.


Actually had to remove the hangers to get at the top of the exhaust tip.




Looking better. Sorry for the crappy pic. Take my word for it. It's shiny. Promise.


CF engine cover polished and sealed.




Some after...enjoy.




Wheels sealed with BF AMS.


































Up next....


Thanks for looking.

I usually put the time it took right below the list of products I used. This one was 10 hours.

How'z the Griot's HD wheel cleaner measure up to the other wheel cleaners you use in terms of cleaning power, while being safe for the wheels of course. Cuz I know you got something that'll clean up anything, but that stuff is just nasty and probably not safe for the wheels on a regular basis.
All the wheel cleaners I use in the shop are safe for regular use. Having said that, the Griots worked well, although its not quite as strong as some other non acid products like Sonax or AG CWC.

We have a couple we are testing that have a strong odour. Both are high ph (12 ) but are safe on all wheels including polished aluminum with the exception of non coated anodized ( some Volk Racing ).
