Porsche 911 Turbo (930) Martini Special Edition
My first detail on a Porsche....and I'm lucky enough to land this very rare Porsche 911 Turbo (930) Martini Special Edition. Many thanks to the kind and generous owner to entrust his classic Porsche with me.
I had expected to spend one or at most two days on this car when I had made arrangements with the owner to carry out the detail over the long Malaysian holiday weekend. Due to unforeseen issues with the paint and some prior commitments, this detail ended up stretching over four days with 22 hours spent on the car. It was tiring, challenging and immensely satisfying once the car was completed.
On with the extremely long story....
Did an inspection of the car with the owner when it was dropped of.
The owner highlighted some issues with the paint in some locations. There were signs of some severe orange peel which the owner suspects was hydraulic fluid which leaked out of a hydraulic car jack in his house. The owner also requested that the Martini decals be protected as they were factory originals.

The car showed signs of being regularly used. Plenty of swirls and RIDS on the paintwork. The owner has a few large dogs and they also left their mark on the car.

Accord Revisited- M80 vs D151 on soft Honda Paint
This Honda Accord was detailed before for a wedding about 2 years ago. The details of that detail (heheheh) can be seen here:

The last time it was detailed, M80 was used with an ROB and the results were fantastic.After hearing so much about D151 from my fellow Malaysian detailing fanatic, KC, I wanted to try it out myself and compare it with the M80 which worked so well before.
I was expecting this detail to be a simple one but it would turn out to be otherwise with the soft Honda paint.
