my black beauty after a bath

I did some little mods like smoked side markers, boxster S gauges, aluminum ring bezels and carbon fiber look interior. I got to wash my car and zaino'd it with my porter! The look was well worth it!

I just got the interior done in carbon fiber. It was an absolute steal. I can refer you to my carbon fiber guy, just PM me and I'll give you more info.

There is a process and it does take time for it to be flawless.

After a careful washing process, I prep my paint with Zaino's Z1 with my Porter Polish. Then I use either Zaino's Z2 or Z5 depending on the condition of my paint. I apply it with my Porter Polish with a semi hard pad to remove the swirls. Wipe down with a microfiber towel and you will end up with that mirror like finish.

estimated time to complate from wash to wax is about 3 hours.

I did the BOXSTER S instrument upgrade. My instrument cluster went dead, so I piad a little extra for the dealer to get me the Boxster S cluster instead of the normal Boxster cluster. All was cover under warranty except the difference of the cluster.
