Wash and Wax: Porsche GT3RS

Porsche GT3RS that says it all. One of our best customers picked up his new GT3RS today.
He wanted us to work on it before he went overseas unfortunately we could go full tilt on it, so we did a quick wash and wax with Swissvax Divine.

Products used:

Gilmour Foam Gun
Uber Yellow Wash Sponge
Adam's Car Wash
Uber Waffle Weave Drying Towel
2 Buckets/Grit Guard/Dolly
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Uber Glass MF Towels
Swissvax Divine
Uber Yellow All Purpose Towels

Not best shots as it was about to rain....

Washing


Tommy on the wheels





Rinse

Nice looking car.

I small recommendation .. Hide your customer's vehicle plates when you are posting photos of their cars. IT will help you avoid potential issues, including legal ones.

My recommendation on the easiest way to do it: Have some vanity plates made that advertise your business. then you can slap them on every car prior to taking pictures, and you won't have to worry about editing the photos afterwards, and you will get some additional advertising time when the pictures are linked by others.

Why does everyone worry about showing a license plate?

OP: Nice job. Where are you located?

Forgive me if it's just me - and I can drool over that car all day long - but "detailing" a brand new car just doesn't challenge me much. Sure it looks great, but it looked great when it rolled in the door too.

Thanks guys!

You would be surprised what this car is in for when the owner gets back, we will probably be doing a 14 hour exterior paint correction on the car.

This car needs claying/polishing/the works.

2stroked, you should see what Ferrari lets out the door. I'm sure it's not just Ferrari and I'm sure much of it comes from transportation.

You can't link to pics on your hard drive - you have to actually upload them to an album here or to a photo hosting site like Photobucket.

Because with the plate I can get an address, possibly a VIN and maybe a key.
