Had this one planned for a month or so. It appears the paint on the 991 cars isn't any harder than the black paint on the previous gen vehicles. This poor fellow special ordered the car, dealer washed it after he told them not to...first batch of swirls installed. After that, he was told by a "mobile detailer" that he knew what he was doing and not to worry......second batch of swirls installed. The gentleman traveled over 2 hours to have me properly remove the defects, and Opti Coat the car. This 911 has been washed a total of two times and looks like it does in the before photos, pretty horrific! I only had one full day to get this job done so I was super pressed for time, though I made sure to get at least one 50/50 and post correction shot. Total time was a little over 13 hours.
