Default Detailed my new Black 993 today, boy was it swirled!

Ok, so I picked up a 993 on Friday, drove it up & around the mountains, of course it was raining most of the time.

So I washed, clayed, polished & sealed.
Normal wash, normal clay
Menz 106 green pad
1z Metalic polish & wax
1z Glanz

I believe the car was dry whipped a lot, it just had a TON of swirls. I tried to take some pics, but my good light blew a bulb.

No hologramming, took out 99% of the surface defects, there are a couple of deeper scratches, but all the swirls are gone.

The after

For all those that say black is to hard, this was far easier then my S4.
