Here is a Porsche 997 I and a friend detailed this weekend. I used Zaino Z-5 Pro on this car which has some killer stealth mods...

Oh yeah...it's a 997 Carrera S with Porsche Turbo wheels that were "take-offs" from a dealer. Beautiful engine sound and nice grip on the tires which are the new Michelin Pilot Sport 2s.

That is a nice shine! A black car allows that to be shown.

I wish...it's all in the surface prep. We spent 8 hours on the 997 and 4.5 hours were polishing.

Beautiful ride. The wheels are a nice touch. I have the PS2s as well - great tires. It should come to no surprise that we spend so much money for "shoes" for our cars.

So you mean using John Lobb's to drive the car?

Sharp. I have a black car and I can never get it that nice.

A beautiful shine. But, I'll never put in that kind of effort on any car unless it's destined for Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance or something of that nature. A car is meant to be driven, and what good is all that effort if it'll all get dusty 10 minutes after you drive it off your driveway.

Less dust and grime will stick to the car, the product will also help preserve the paint and keep this car looking great for years.

BTW, great car AF and thanks for the pics. I wish you would have snapped one of the back-end, imo the best angle of the 997.

I would be more interested in further pictures of the cottage captured in the shine...

The owner paid us a lot of money for this detail which helps support my spendy audio habit.

Cars with a good sealant like Zaino resist dust quite well because the surface is so slick. Rain just rolls off as well. With a well prepped surface the shine can last up to 6 months and look almost as good as these pics.

I will see if I can get a tail shot.

The house is beautiful...very French country on the inside. This friend of ours is a very successful tech executive.
