Yesterday we picked up my stepdad's first Porsche, a 2002 2.7 986.

After giving it a quick wash, I introduced him to the Dark Arts of the Clay Bar

Will spend a few hours on it today with my meguirs polisher, will let him do the waxing.

It's been almost as long as Christ spent on the cross, is it clean yet?

Has it been driven properly yet?

:lol:

What shade of Blue is it? I can't tell if it's Iris or Midnight from the small pic.
