Hi there

Not posted a thread myself for a while but since I got the 911 the paint was pretty swirly and marred, so a paint correction was long overdue. As such I got the guys at Autobrite to do a full paint correction, wash, polish and wax seal, took them two days, but see the results:


















Really looking forward to seeing the car in some direct sunlight as its going to look amazing. smile

The guys took some photos whilst doing the job along with 50/50's, I shall post them up once they email them over to me but as one can imagine Speed Yellow is not the easiest colour to show 50/50 and the colour hides swirls pretty well. But since those guys done it I've never known the pain to have such a deep glossy finish to it. smile

Hi there

The sun tried to come out, did not really manage it, but grabbed a few photos:

Here is rain water beading off the car, still very clean after being driven in poor weather:









I then gave the car a quick wash as was not really dirty and then topped up with some project 32. again very little sun but still car has so much depth to it and for the moments the sun does come the car is so reflective:





























One of the things that always make me smile when I am driving the 911 is this view:



Seeing those hips and dat wing, always generates a smile. smile
