How to Restore Black Paint Porsche 996

Рет қаралды 420,908

12 жыл бұрын

This is a buddies car that I needed to restore after many years of track days and little to no detailing/cleaning. In this longer video, I discuss the different steps and products used to restore the paint to near perfection. I also introduce a few new products for "claying" your paint, and show the differences between a rotary polisher and DA polisher. (It is a bit on the long side, but its important to understand the thought process behind paint correction prior to working on a difficult job such as a Porsche 996 in black.) Hope this is helpful. Send me emails if you have additional questions. Thanks guys. -L

The fact that he actually gave an alternative to his spray wax shows what a guy he is. Hard to come by in todays market, but don't get it twisted, any good enterpenuer doesn't need to bend over backwards to make you buy his product. Thats how its done.

what a guy. not only does he take the time to make amazing ( best I've seen by far ) but doesn't try to sell his stuff and tries to save us money. Awesome work mate and ill be only using your products from now on. I think you genuinely deserve everyone's support. Thanks again for the expert advice my cars never looked better !

What wins me over to this guy's videos is he's open about his opinions. He remains mostly neutral and even says that he's not interested in competing with the Big Guys like Sonax or Meguiars. I still do follow his advice on washing and drying cars and it helps a lot. His videos and tips are definitely worth the time/effort.

Thanks guys for your support. If you do anything in the public eye, you (meaning me) are going to get "haters". Its cool. Nothing we can do about it. Believe me, all I'm trying to do is help. Its fun to shoot videos and talk about cars. If some of my videos are more helpful than others, then I apologize...but they are free to watch and that guy is welcome to click the "stop" button anytime and go else where. Most people who dislike a video simply go on to another vid. Thx to my supporters!

You are a car restoration God. I found your $1,000,000 Ferrari Restoration on KZfaq and I didnt just learn alot of your techniques but also the Ferrari's body panels. Too bad your videos have not been around for the past 30 yrs in which I have owned over 40 cars. My favorite was a 77 Datsun 280Z. It was already in showroom condition and I got many responses from people on how nice it was but with your "magic" that car would be F'ing hot :-) Thanks for the vids and keep them coming.

Thanks. Paul is a great guy and a fantastic detailer. A good beginner polisher is the Griots DA....its a bit cheaper. The Rupes is a "better" machine if you are a pro and need to correct paint much faster. However, its 3x the price. Its worth it to me..but maybe not for a casual detailer. Hope that helps! -L

Sam, it depends on what type of scratch or "imperfection" you are trying to remove/repair. In this video I used Meguiars D300 with a Microfiber Cutting Pad. I mostly use this system when restoring paint. much safer and easier. Good question!

Hey bud, its most likely getting "stuck" on the rubbery texture of the plasti. Best bet is to use a short hair microfiber wash mitt and then use air or squeegee to remove the water. (For the record, I would NEVER recommend this on regular or normal paint. Plasti is a totally different ballgame) Hope that helps! -L
