Porsche Boxster S
I thought id share a job i did about a month ago for anyone whos interested.
A long time friend of mine rang me and asked me what i could do with his Boxster S. The car hadn't been touched for a very long time which was apparent on inspection. The paint was very dry and the wheels and lower parts of the car were peppered with tar and traffic film.
Pictures don't do it justice, This paint was horrendously dull.
I started by spraying the lower parts of the car, Wheels and arches with semi strong AS TFR mix, Left to dwell while i agitated the wheels then jet washed.
Then i attacked the tar with tardis, agitated, Left to dwell then jet washed again.
Next i Shampooed the car with AG shampoo and dried. The car came up surprisingly well.
I then finished up by hand polishing the car with AS platinum polish, Glass cleaned with AS clear glass and tyres dressed with highstyle.
Im not a massive Boxster fan but i fell in love with this car and cant wait until next time.

You should take more detailed photos Kitlad!
That's the only way to see results. Also a fair photo comparison would help, instead of shadow vs light

I was literally moving the car around chasing the sun to keep warm..
And the customer didn't want it waxed, As much as I tried to persuade him..
