Detailer's Domain: 1997 911 Turbo /Swissvax

[DetailersDomain]

Here is a 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo let me say that this is one of my favorite cars to do. Its got nice lines and its always a challenge. This one had about 21k on it.

Great customer to work for.

I took this car in on Monday and worked on it till Friday about 20 hours total. I just love this body style.

Full Exterior/Interior
Typical swirls and paint correction needed with Swissvax Mystery as a last step.
