Porsche Boxster Full Correction Detail

Post by PaulN » Wed Apr 15, 2009 1:08 pm

Hi All,

Thought this might be of interest,

After my first long winded but rewarding correction on our Jet Black Z4 i decided the next car i correct will be over a weekend and not over months!
I started afterwork on good Friday with just the idea of giving the Boxster a good clean and maybe test out the 2 polishes I was sent some time ago.....

Wash Stage:

• Washed with Sonus Mitt and CG Maxi Suds
• Dust off roof with Shoe brush.
• Rinsed with filtered water from the 11L Resin Vessel and dried with CG Miracle Dryer (i know old habits die hard)
• Washed Arches and Wheel inners and outers using various brushes
• No Claying this session as recently clayed and still ok

Interior Clean:

• Vacummed Carpets and Mat
• Wiped over Dash and Door cards with damp cloth
• Cleaned and fed leather seats with LTT Ultra Foam Cleaner and LTT Ultra Protect

Correction Stage:

• Masked up boot and tested sample polishes.

Conclusions: Both polishes dried out pretty fast but didn’t dust at all...
Correction wasn’t very good and if i had to guess which had less oils in it would be sample A only because the
Mirco fibre squeeked a little more when removing the polish.

Back to the Task in Hand:

• After a little trial the paint corrected nicely with Megs G220, Sonus SFX-2 White Pad and Menzerna 3.02 Intensive Polish following up with the Red Finishing Pad and 85RD Final Finish where required.

Friday:
