Detailing (2009 Porsche Cayman) What we have here is a 2009 Porsche Cayman dressed white on black with about 30k miles. The owner picked this car up about 3 months ago and been waiting patiently for a detail. He traveled all the way from New York to have my friend and I detail it.
The car was in generally good shape minus some washing after a flogging. Your typical RIDS in the paint and sand blasting. The challenging part was working on a white car and seeing the defects! But thankfully Porsche paint loves to correct.
After 20man hours the outcome is a 9.5/10, front clip does need some paint, there is some heavy blasting around the radiator intakes in the rear quarters, and the 3m side pieces could use replacement, besides those few items we were beyond pleased with the results, car looks soaking wet when there isn’t a drop of water to be seen.
I posted processed the pics to show some of the damage in the paint and of course for finals the sun was in hiding. But I think you will see the change!
Lots of pics and I hope you enjoy!!!
