Other products were used during this process.

Start.
To note: This Porsche 996 is new to this client.
It appears to have been stored for many years without proper leather or rubber protection.
The clearcoat shows heavy pre-detailer polish marring but wasn't too bad on the deep swirl level.
The front has a clear half bra.


Light to moderate surface marring is visible.


Original condition of the leather.
It appears that this interior has not been detailed in approx. 6 years other than vacuuming.

Door rubber showing signs of lack of conditioning product.

In Texas they seem to put licensing stickers so far down the glass it is extremely difficult to remove completely.
This is the before photo. All of the sticker and 95% of the glue residue were removed in subsequent photos.

Clearcoat swirl examples following:








After all polishing is completed.
Still need to remove product.

After 6 hours of Leatherique conditioning. Once Leatherique has sat for an extended period,
we use
another Leatherique product to remove the lifted dirt and the tackiness of the remaining conditioner.
You will have a very supple and non-oily surface when completed.

Minor sunburst effect from incomplete removal of polish.
After this photo this Porsche was hand finished with a second polish and the remaining
3 coats of sealant/wax were also hand applied.




Two shots with different camera settings.



Last coat of carnuaba.

Completed detail.









Leather the way it's supposed to be.
Starting condition below: Present condition above:

6 hours of Leatherique on the interior leather. After the first hour I needed to reapply
a considerable amount of product because it was being pulled into the leather so quickly.
The blacked out powder coated rims are a superior touch to this sleeper.
A high degree of polish on the clearcoat, exclusive leather reconditioning procedures
and superior protection on all surfaces
Isn't this what you want for your vehicle?
