Hello and welcome to the first of our 2014 write ups. Please feel free to post a comment as we will be picking someone to give a free bottle of our Perfection Spray Sealant.

I just had to do a wee photo gallery for such an awesome car and an awesome colour that literally exploded in the sunlight!! ENJOY!!!!!!

The car in question is a stunning 1998 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo finished in Ocean Blue. This car was originally sold to Thailand we found out when doing some background research so it's come a long way to be detailed by OCD-ni!! The car has been repainted before the present owner bought it and was booked in for an enhancement detail, wheel refurbishment and some leather repairs, on common wear spots on these cars. Once corrected the front end was to be covered with PPF to protect it from stone chips. On arrival a nasty chip on the wing mirror had been picked up the day before delivery, so this was removed and sent away to be repainted. On arrival, the first thing was to address the leather repairs which as always are carried out by our leather specialist Dynamix who is one of the foremost leather specialists in the UK. Once this was completed, the car was fully washed and decontaminated before being brought in to have the wheels removed. Products used:
• Orchard Autocare Cotton Candy Snow Foam.
• Orchard Autocare Tar Cleanse.
• Orchard Autocare Iron Cleanse.
• Orchard Autocare Bramley Bubble Bath Shampoo. (2 bucket method wash).
• Zaino Clay.
• Orchard Wheel Cleanse.














Once inside the wheels were removed fully cleaned and weights were fully removed before being sent for powder coat by Canavan's Autocentre.

In general the paint was in good condition with just some general swirl marks a few buffer trails and the odd random mark. The focus was to achieve as flawless a finish prior to the PPF being applied by Andrew from Smart Skin. The correction was a 2 stage process using Meguiars Microfibre correction system by DA then literally we refined the life out of it by rotary with Meguiars 205 and a finishing compound I made myself. In total about 20 hours correction time and then a following 20 + hours simply refining and finishing getting a near glass like finish. Once that was completed it was given the once over with Orchard Autocare Luminos to remove all polishing oils, fillers etc ensuring a perfect finish.














The PPF was installed over a morning and once left to cure the entire car was coated in 4 coats of Speed Seal then Perfection. All plastics were dressed with Glitz. The Wheel arches were cleaned but as per the owners wishes were left as they were to retain the originality of a car that is used. Calipers were cleaned with a cotton bud and treated with 4 coats of Speed Seal.

The Engine bay again as per owners request to keep the car looking like it is not totally new the engine bay was wiped down and surfaced dressed with perfection leaving a natural "original" finish. Again not all grease was removed to keep originality.

Once the wheels returned the tyres were dressed with Orchard Autocare Glitz and the wheels were treated front and back with 4 coats of Speed Seal to give plenty of protection.

The interior was fully cleaned plastics were cleaned and protected with Orchard Autocare Interior Wizard and leather treated with Dynamix own products.

Now for the afters. And many thanks for reading…
