Thread: 08 Porsche Cayenne GTS Correction

L4P member Ken.V and his wife just picked this vehicle up to replace their Mini Cooper, vehicle had some dealer installed issues and some deep RIDS on a few places in the finish.

The majority of my time on the onset of the correction was removing the over spray from a shoddy wheel repair to all four wheels(unlike Luis @ LM CARTOUCH UP). I would spend over two hours during the wash phase just cleaning the wheels and another one and a half washing and claying the vehicle.

Wheel cleaning



Evidence of over spray in the clay



When the wheels were sprayed the guy did not mask very well......



50/50 of clear removed from the tire



Hard water etching



Corrected



Rubber trim was UV damaged and dry



One of the areas Ken wanted to correct most was this rear deck trim



50/50 pic after compounding



Fully corrected



Marring on lower bumper(front)



After compounding



After fine polishing, only 95% correction as the plastic bumper is not measurable with my paint depth gauge



Hood fully polished before LSP(Menzerna Power Lock/ Collinite 915



Applying sealant

The metal trim in the rear compartment was dull and had an oily purplish film



50/50 pic, corrected side on the right



Finished down





Another area of concern was the nav screen, which also had a purple oily film(dealer installed no doubt)



45 minutes later.....



After two coats of MENZERNA Power Lock/one coat of 915 as this car will be spending alot of time outside









LED shots







Outside pics, exhaust tips nice and clean

Terrific Job Bob!
As most of you know, Bob has been detailing high-end vehicles for a long time and is the best at what he does! I discovered his abilities first hand when he did my 08 Carrera 4S about 3 months ago. (08 Porsche 997 C4S New Car Prep) Not only is he an excellent detailer, but Bob is also very professional and just a great guy to talk cars with. This time I opted to leave the vehicle with him at his shop as I knew he had his work cut out for him. There were areas of the car that required Bob's magic and he came through making my Cayenne look brand new again! The car looks great Bob, thanks again for another fantastic job!

sick work. i liked the 50/50 shot of the rear decklid trim...kinda looks like mine now. what did you use to clean that nav screen? and how did you take the clear coat off the tires?

Damn Nice Job Bob Cat! Does this mean I can bring my cayenne turbo in now?!?!?!?

When did you trade in the S for a Turbo............... don't tell me it's BLACK

Great job. My only issue would be driving the car after it looks so good. You almost want to put her in the garage and throw away the keys. Great work.

Lookin Fresh yo!

Another great detail Bob!
