This was one of the last details we did at our first premises in Ottery before we closed there.

Please note: we are now based in Lansdowne which is 5-10 minutes away from this location. Checkout our contact page for details.

Aptly it was a Porsche Carrera in black no less! my favourite car!

This poor baby had been badly detailed just prior by another detailer. There were still heavy swirls, scratches, paint chips, and bad orange peel from a paint repair that ended with me wet sanding the driver’s side of the car to “blend” in the paintwork.

The result was of course stunning and flawless…

This was the first Porsche we did for this client and as of 2022, we’ve done 3 other Porsches and 2 other brands of cars for him!

If you want any work done on your car dont hesitate to contact us!

Pre-Inspection

Before we start any paint correction especially involving sanding we thoroughly inspect a car for its faults and assess how far it can be corrected.

We want to of course not cause unnecessary damage.

The white marks you see on the Porsche’s paint are from a grease pencil. It does not scratch the paint at all. It’s to flag issues on the paint and notes for my staff.

This was inspired by the marks that a tailor might make when creating a pattern on materials for a suit.

Fun fact: both my grandfathers were tailors and now I’m a detailer 😛
