my black beauty after a bath
 
I did some little mods like smoked side markers, boxster S gauges, aluminum ring bezels and carbon fiber look interior. I got to wash my car and zaino'd it with my porter! The look was well worth it!

I just got the interior done in carbon fiber. It was an absolute steal. I can refer you to my carbon fiber guy, just PM me and I'll give you more info.

Mirror....mirror
 
What do you used to get this blcak..deeppp deep.?

phrankandbeanz 10-07-2005 11:44 AM

There is a process and it does take time for it to be flawless.

After a careful washing process, I prep my paint with Zaino's Z1 with my Porter Polish. Then I use either Zaino's Z2 or Z5 depending on the condition of my paint. I apply it with my Porter Polish with a semi hard pad to remove the swirls. Wipe down with a microfiber towel and you will end up with that mirror like finish.

estimated time to complate from wash to wax is about 3 hours.

black is so gorgeous when it shines!
love it!
you should paint your calipers red with porsche decals and put chrome indicator bulbs then your box would be the Max!
lov it.
BTW where did you buy your aluminum ring bezels? like them also!

I did the BOXSTER S instrument upgrade. My instrument cluster went dead, so I piad a little extra for the dealer to get me the Boxster S cluster instead of the normal Boxster cluster. All was cover under warranty except the difference of the cluster.
