Detailer's Domain: White 911 Turbo with Lusso

This was a treat one of my first customers sold his 2002 911 Turbo a couple years ago, the silver one that was posted before, he missed it so much he picked up another 2003 I believe white 996 Turbo added many mods included the 997 Seats, Techart Front Bumper, GT2 Wing, Techart wheels and more... I believe this is a Protomotive 600 kit.

Below are the tools and products used:

Exterior:
Adam's Car Wash
Uber Blue Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
The Uber Menzerna PO203S/PO85RD Kit
Menzerna Top Inspection
Lusso Oro

Wheels and Tires
Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit

Interior and Glass
Uber Interior Kit

Engine: (sorry no engine shots)
P21S Total Autowash
Black Wow (on covers and plastics)
Einszett Vinyl and Rubber Care (rubber etc)

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
Uber Drying Towels

Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun
Infratech CM5300

Sorry no wash/clay picks.

After the wash/clay we measured the paint, it was about 85-89 microns all around


We proceeded with caution as this was quite low in my findings with 996's.
We masked with 3M masking tape


Rushed for time we didn't have much of the polishing stage either the car was lightly swirled really hard to pick up with the camera.

Interior shots:
Car was vacuumed, here a picture of Dan from Concierge Auto Spa working on the interior



Leather Master treatment


Final interior shots:



After claying the door jambs, we polished them out with PO85RD, lastly we applied Lusso Oro on them take a look at the outcome


if you look hard a 50/50 split shot of the wax


Final pic of the Carbon Fiber Door Sill


Dan finishing up the wheels:


Lusso applied on the rest of the car



Removing the Lusso Oro


Removal of the 3m masking tape


Final shots inside






Final shots outside:






Enjoy.

great job Phil. Hey I have a question, so the lower the micron the worst the shape of the paint (I am assuming)? Where do you normally want it to be? And take this 911 for example, how did it get so low? Do you think years of driving, parking it outside w/out any detailing?

its different for each car ....I just know on 2001-2005 911's typically its 100-165 that's what I have seen this is the first one that I have seen so low. So in this case I would proceed with caution.

I know for fact I spoke with the last detailer that the previous owner thrashed it and the detailer had to wetsand and cut the paint, I have to be thankful that I put the paint meter on it so I had an idea.
