Thank you!!!!! 👍🙂🙂

Thanks! He was definitely happy!! It's a tough situation. The dealership can fix some of this stuff. But a lot of it we don't want them to fix. Because there method of fixing it will be wrong but probably fast. That's assuming the guy they have fix it even knows how to fix half the issues without damaging the car in the process. The customer wanted it this way so I could fix it. It wasn't unfortunate situation where the car was sitting so much that a lot of the stuff ended up being worse than it should have been because of the sitting. "COVID cars" for some reason the supplied chain was weird and these cars sat a lot and that's just been normal. But t many of the other problems Obviously happened during manufacturing and are much harder to explain.

he does say the customer declined the pre delivery setup/inspection. No way any dealer would deliver a vehicle like this. he probably had them remove the wrap to confirm no scratches or dings and drove off. it was in a yard, then a ship then another yard for the last 30-40 days before the dealership even got it. completely normal.

@@Abesta83 you are correct 👍 but it was in port for like 60-90 days or something insane.

@@Abesta83 especially not a porsche dealer.

Lol is this a joke comment? Literally everything you just said was incorrect lolol. Look at all the Porsches I've done videos on with issues. Porsche Orlando called me yesterday saying they delivered a touring with similar issues and had to out source to a detailer because it was bad. All the local detailers here are fully aware that nearly every GT Porsche car has sanding marks and other defects.

@@STATUSDETAIL Sucks to an American I guess. As a % of what they sell and ship the amount you attend to is like piss in the ocean. I don’t recall anyone saying that every Porsche is perfect and of course one only gets asked to correct a car that isn’t what it should be. Rest of the world and Europe have no such issues. I can imagine if a Porsche dealership had the car before you it would not have been in such a poor state of delivery but as you say it came from the docks. It’s suspicious why would a brand like Porsche call a third party to clean a car and not PDI it themselves I’m sure they’d wanna do this in house rather than give it to some loud mouth KZfaqr who is just going to try to trash them and create poor content

@@peterbest5938 do you work at Porsche or inspect new Porsches as your profession? Or just guessing with everything you just said. I have around 12 years experience around cars in a professional setting and 7 as a owner of status. Most of our Porsche details are new and the owners say they are new and perfect as you stated until we find all the issues. We make them perfect then ceramic or ppf or both over it. That's why we find the issues and fix them so we don't seal them in. Obviously when they are allowed to prep the car it is not dirty. I'm talking about defects and things they miss. I've never seen a Porsche come in "perfect" ready for ceramic. We do have high expectations tho and that's why our customers trust us to make the car perfect. I do appreciate your comment but we have two different experiences or definitions of "very rare"

@@STATUSDETAIL I’m a Porsche owner (991 Speedster, Carrera 4S) plus some other interesting Italian vehicles that are worse out of the factory than Porsche. Every ‘new’ car will have something that can be improved but likely not visible under the naked eye. Porsche happen to deliver cars finished way better than most. Your content presents an entirely different narrative that all most Porsches you see are terrible and require correction which is clearly not the case at all. You are just one of loads of KZfaq ‘detailers’ that like to show off their efforts which is fine but don’t exaggerate by implying a particular brand always delivers its new cars in such a terrible mess. Try Bentley or Rolls even and I’m sure you’ll eventually find something to ‘correct’ but that doesn’t give you license to imply these are all terrible and isn’t it wonderful that have you to correct and make perfect.

@@peterbest5938 rolls actually does a really incredible job lol. Bentley too. They are two brands that actually go out of there way to remove factory orange peel. So they spray extra clear and go back and sand the clear down multiple times. Extremely labor intensive. They have some of the nicest paint in the world.... Your speedster is a beautiful car but after that comment I'm not going to reply to this chain anymore. Have a wonderful day and enjoy your speedster 🙂

Thanks for watching! There are different kinds of leather ceramic. This is probably on the mild side but doesn't change the look and feel. Fabric ceramic is a thing too! Works great on soft tops and alcantara.

Thanks for watching! Take a look around the channel! If you enjoyed this video I have a lot more like it but even more crazy hyper cars!

I definitely go into more detail in my other videos about correction. Especially in the barn find video! But I specialize in correction and chat about it often on the channel. The r8 video talks about it basically the entire time! I use currently carpro reflect and ultracut with lake country hdo pads. All sold on statusdetailstore.com This was about a 5-6 day detail. I believe it was over 5k but under 6k

@@STATUSDETAIL THANK YOU. ill check out the other videos. i appreciate the response

@@driz866 welcome to Status 🙂👍👍

Thanks! When they sit in the port they get pretty dirty! Some of these cars are sitting in the port for 3-4 months literally just waiting. As you mentioned it's a cloth type cover. So water and dirt and all kinds of crud are going to build up. I've seen this on multiple Porsche deliveries from three different dealerships.

Some of the damage was done in the factory which is very surprising!

@@cliveneilands1449 definitely! But to my eyes it's not surprising haha.

Thanks!

Will do! New video on Sunday and if your new to the channel check out the vsrj find video or hyper cars details!

The sanding mark under ppf is definitely a wild thing to see. To be clear dealerships don't mask or hide this stuff. Honestly the sanding marks and swirls they never see or necessarily understand how big of a deal it is to some of us. Lots of cars from every manufacturer have delivery issues like this too. Porsche definitely has crazy sanding marks and other paint issues tho. It's common in my opinion. So find a good detailer lol. Glad you joined the channel!!!

Not sure what car you are referring too? But gyeon leather cleaner has been my solution for leather. It does a incredible job! For really dirty leather be sure to use a large brush and for really really old dirty leather use the leatherque system! I show both in my countach leather video Checkout statusdetailstore.com for the products!

@@STATUSDETAIL Thanks! I wasn't referring to any particular car - just that you don't usually do too many vehicles with completely hammered leather, from what I've seen. I'll check out the the video and link you mentioned above. You really do impressive work! I'm not a pro detailer - just an enthusiast who does mine and a few friends' vehicles on the side. Always looking to learn! 👍

@@marklittleton1309 I've definitely cleaned up some pretty bad leather. I think you will enjoy the countach vid! I don't do much with kids cars. Those are another level haha. Glad you found status Mark! This channel is basically made for you. The enthusiast!

Yep this is pretty common. Take a look around the comments here lol.... People think that I'm lying and that this has like three owners because Porsche would never deliver anything short of perfection.....

@@STATUSDETAIL I’d be interested to know if they’ve ever owned one from new.. The detailer I used in October had a brand new Carrera and Turbo in the shop around the same time as doing mine.. Both had noticeable paint defects, so it’s common.

@@lukebartram1966 I think most of them have never owned any new car. Just keyboard warriors lol. I have yet to see a "perfect" new Porsche based on my standards. If it was my car there would be work to be done on every car. But a lot of people wouldn't be bothered or notice a lot of this stuff. Obviously this car was pretty bad Tho. Worse than what Im usually seeing

Thank you!! If you enjoyed this one then checkout the other videos like the 993 barn find or hyper car detailing vids!

Hello John Great question. We typically wrap all edge's that can be reasonably wrapped.so the hood for example is fully wrapped. But on the Touring for example where the bumper and fenders meet you would have a PPF edge that's unwrapped. Hypothetically you can remove the bumper and wrap that edge fully. The issue with this is the film will now rub against itself with subtle driving vibrations and end up pushing it self out of that jam and eventually look really horrible. The back of the fender by the door can often be tucked behind into the fender/door jam as well. This attention to detail adds surprisingly lots of labor. Because you need to come back multiple times to ensure it's sticking on the back side of panel. Typically it's heated a few times to ensure durability. So be prepared for a longer overall install process and typically slightly more expensive job. In most cases I'd say either way is equally durable as long as it's done with precision and care. But I'd never recommend the tuck like the fender bumper example.

Glad to hear it!!

Yea that brake thing can be annoying lol. When I do the wash faster because I'm not filming it doesn't rust over as bad. So when you use the brakes as shown it works even better. But when I'm filming I have to go so slow and it takes even longer so the brakes rust over way worse. By the way it's a problem The point is during the normal wash they don't actually look that bad.

We have you covered! Go drive it and enjoy it. I'll get you back to this 👍👍

Especially my hypercar detailing ones. They are filmed in a similar style. Or the barn find 993 video. That's just a tremendous story in general.

Thank! Check out the gt4rs video tomorrow!! I think it might be even better than this one! If they are literally bee and never used you want to spray a lot of gyeon prep on. Wipe that off and use a ceramic of your choice. Gtechniq and Gyeon both make wheel specific coatings. You can also do crystal serum light and exo or try mohs evo

@@STATUSDETAIL Thanks Evan for your advice once again. I have Gyeon Rim for them. Would I be correct in saying, just Gyeon prep and then coat them? I just wondered if I would need to use an iron remover first in case of any contamination from the original machining process. Do you think that a light machine polish would enhance the appearance, or am being extreme! Look forward to watching your next master class here in Scotland!

@@flyman3386 you can do all of it and it will only help. But typically a new wheel is pretty clean. But you can do as many pre coating steps as you like. If they are used or even a little used then you would do decon. Clay. Polish prep.

@@STATUSDETAIL Thanks Evan, very much appreciated for your time and advice! Keep us educated!

@@flyman3386 my pleasure 🙂

Thanks for watching!

Thanks 🙂👍

Thank you! Are you asking how much would a follow up wash/detail cost to get the car back to perfect like 6 months after this was completed? That would fall into our $350 maintenance detail. Then we often custom Tailor this if necessary.

His comment above stated that this was a 5 day detail at a cost of $5K. Maintenance would be much less.

You could learn to do all of it! Most of it you could learn pretty quickly. Other aspects take time.

Cleaned with gyeon Leather Prepped with gyeon prep Protected with gtechniq L1 leather gaurd 👍👍👍 Enjoy that GTS!

Thanks for subscribing!! I'm not sure I understand the question. Spray soaping vs two buckets! No matter the wash process you do you would rinse and pre foam then rinse then foam again and use two bucket method with wash pad OR use multiple microfiber. Hope that helps.

@@STATUSDETAIL - I think he means foam cannon vs 2 bucket wash method.

@@andygranite8076 well even if you use two buckets you should be using a foam Cannon. And if your using microfibers only like in my new videos you should still be foaming. I do not recommend two buckets with no pre foam.

Anytime you polish a car you are removing clearcoat. How much you remove is going to be determined by the process and the person doing that process. What you are referencing is typically when an unskilled body shop person uses a rotary buffing with hard hitting compound in one spot for too long and they burn through the clear and you get a dull spot. A brand new car with a good process and some common sense It's incredibly difficult to burn through clear coat. What we did to this car left more than enough paint for years and years and years. But if an inexperienced person polishes this car or compounds this car and with the wrong products every year as part of a maintenance for example to make it more shiny than yes of course it's very possible that they burn through the clear coat in a matter of years. You just need to know the limitations of paint and you need to know when to not try and correct something or to stop chasing something that you're actively trying to fix. The use of paint depth gauges is also very helpful but those don't always tell you thr full picture. They tell you the depth of clear. Paint. Base coat primer. It'll also read things like Bondo and can be easy to spot a painted panel but that's a different story. The point is a paint depth guage doesn't read clear coat it reads everything. It's up to detailer to decipher how much of that number is clear coat and how much you have to work with. In my personal opinion on a brand new car a paint depth gauge doesn't tell you much because you know it's brand new paint and you know there's a decent amount no matter what I do it's going to read total depth. It's more helpful when your detailing a 25-year-old car and now we can kind of guesstimate how many times the car's been polished or compounded and then take a fraction of that number and say that much is clear.

Thanks!!

I'm not a fan. Doesn't do much for inside of rotors throwing crap all over barrel. Or the back of the rotors. It only stops it on the front of rotors.

I definitely have this video in the works! If you check out my channel and look at the Lamborghini countach video you will see basically all the steps. The leatherque process is not needed on a new car. But the steps that come before that you could do on your car for sure. But like I said I do have a video coming on interior cleaning. I always show it in my videos but I've never done like a step-by-step video. They actually filmed the video already that's awaiting editing on interior cleaning but that's more of like a light fast dusting cleaning type situation. I also want to make a video that's a more in-depth leather cleaning video

@@STATUSDETAIL sweet. Thanks!

@@FreshlySnipes 👍👍🙂

I'm truly not sure what I used. I switch a lot lol I use reset. Bathe. Gsf. Foam and lift. Sometimes I use a professional line Maguires that I use really heavy like hardly diltue it. I have never really liked gtech for maintenance. I think they changed some stuff recently. So I might need to try again. Thank you for watching! Gt4rs video coming this Sunday!!

@@STATUSDETAIL thanks for the response, and I can’t wait for the new video! Keep hammering dude 🤙🏻

Thanks for watching! 🙂

Usually a dash and vinyl plastics won't be to dirty. I use gyeon prep or gyeon leather. Gentle spray into a towel and wipe.

@@STATUSDETAIL thank you so much for the quick answer. Keep up the excellent work 👍👍

@@dryhonyalves my pleasure and thank you!

Yikes I'm not sure that can be fixed. I tnr we tried to fix something like that I suppose a strong compound or metal polish could fix it. Maybe see if anyone has tried this on KZfaq or forums. Wish I could be of more help!

Agreed!

😃😃😃

I can't speak to any chemical guys products. But prep can be sprayed one or two e into a clean microfiber towel and wipes in all interior surfaces. It's great on touch screens and piano black trim.

Thanks. I try to go above and beyond!! That's a great question. first I'll use my blow dryer to blow everything out. Let everything settle for a minute. Then Typically I use gyeon prep. It's a alcohol based product that is kind of like washing your hands before surgery. Gets everything clean and safe for the real work to be done. The real work being PPF or ceramic. If I have to compound a lot and make a crazy dust mess I'll often foam and rinse and blow dry then use prep.

@@STATUSDETAIL awesome, thanks for the reply! Very jealous of all the cars you work on! This video was the first of yours came across and I Just watched the Huarya video and wow! I’ve seen one up close in person at Pagani Newport Beach and those cars are literal works of art like you stated.

@@jmanlevan agreed! When you detail one for days you just keep seeing more incredible details! Glad you found the channel!

That's unfortunate but I have heard stories like this a lot. For future reference do remember if it's just like swirl marks type scratches then just have them pay for your detail. Honestly that's a great way to get correction for free lol. If it was a legit nasty scratch or down to metal then I understand completely. Would suck to have a repainted panel.

Usually the cars look better. But they usually do have sanding marks and swirl marks. This was just extra dirty in top of that.

The GT3 Touring is currently very rare and a speculation itm. I don´t know who had this car before and treated it in this way, but it was not Porsche or a regular Porsche dealer. This is what you get when you don´t by your car directly at Porsche.

@@Rick2010100 you are incorrect.this is a new car with one owner from a Porsche dealership.

If you watch the video, he mentions the owner wanted nothing done by the manufacturer. He wanted to do everything himself. Hence the cartel like crap because he denied the manufacturer's offer

@@surfingawaveoflife thanks for watching and listening lol

Interesting! I know a few companies make stuff you can spray on the rotors. A few seconds up the street and back has been my solution when a car is staying in the shop a few days.

Definitely agree!

For ppf? That could definitely work. Maybe a little extreme. But could work. Basically what a paint booth is. But even dust gets in fresh paint lol.
