    This fully loaded, beautifully appointed, and savagely fast Panamera Turbo S came in for the ultimate treatment. Bob and I tag-teamed this one to bring out the best in the beautiful Porsche paint. This is a good example of why new cars need thorough detailing. It was in good order, but it needed to be better.....so we got to work!

    You guys did such a great job on that car. How soon after delivery did the client bring it in after purchase. I cannot believe some of the defects that the car was delivered with or that the dealer installed! You do such a great job in the correction stage and as a serious amateur I always wonder how many step it takes to get to this level of correction and what products and machnes you use. Truly excellent work on a Beast of a car.

    Wishing you, your family and friends a Happy, Healthy Holiday Season and New Year!

    Wow! I think that thing was in pretty rough shape for how new it was...especially the dye transfer! Nice job on that BTW!


    Great work Jeff/Bob! I love seeing collaboration detail jobs like this! :thumb:

    Another team effort from Bob and Jeff! It's always cool to see two guys at the top of their games bringing an awesome car to "better-than-new" condition. And maybe I'm weird, but those upgraded door sills are :pimp:!
