What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Started to remove some of the scratches in my paint using a dual action polisher, microfiber pad and D300 compound. However, I completely underestimated how time consuming this process is, it will probably take another 2-3 days to finish, working on it for a few hours every night. I have been blogging about my detail process if you want to follow along.

Thats how I did mine too initially. Spread out over a couple days. It seems like a massive job at first but you'll get the hang of it. Don't be afraid to crank the polisher up to full speed. You'll get better correction with fewer passes. Its pretty difficult to really mess up your paint with a free spinning DA, even at full speed.

Replaced my 'aged' seal grey center caps.


At some point, I'll try to refinish my old caps. I've already stripped the clear (well, used to be clear) covering off of one badge and located the reactive polymer clear coat.

Low on the project priority list however.

I was was pretty nervous when I started, but it is not actually that hard. I am incredibly happy with the results so far, the most time consuming part is cleaning the microfiber pad after every section.

I had one of my Brake lights go out.

In defiance, I replaced every friggin rear light bulb! Cost me 28 bucks with Amazon Prime. When I did the replacement, I found one of my sidelights was not even there!
