This last weekend, while I was waiting for the engine to be replace in my Porsche 911/997, a friend of mine allowed me to detail her Porsche Boxster (987).
From this photo using a Brinkman light, you can see the surface defects:
The first thing was to wash the car, I started with the wheels and then did the rest of the car.
I use the 5 bucket method to wash the car. The normal two buckets plus a separate bucket for the wheels and two buckets for the MF towels. The Meguiar's MFs get a separate bucket and are never in contact with the lesser grade MFs. The Meguiar's MFs are the only MFs that come in contact with the paint.
The car was then clayed using G1016 Smooth Surface™ Clay Kit.
Afterwards, the car was taped.
After the car was clayed, then Meguiar's #83 DACP with a W8006 pad on a DA was applied. By this time, it was 9:30PM and I had already put in 10 hours and I ran out of my Meguiar's MFs so I called it a night. Here is the hood reflection after #83 was applied.
The next morning with newly washed and dried MFs, I then applied Meguiar's #80 followed by two coats of Meguiar's #26 Hi Tech wax.
Here is the finished results:
