Hi all Boxster members.

As a retired ex car detailer I thought it may be a good idea to share advice and any tips here.
Having just ceramic coated my wifes wheels ready for winter which can be seen on the Boxster fb page.

So feel free to share your tips I look forward to hearing from you.

Also happy to give free advice.

Regards Cliff
 
I would be interested to hear what members are using to keep the 'dreaded' external black plastic on there cars looking good.
I've tried quite a few products none of which seem to last long.
 
I use polytrol
www.owatroldirect.co.uk

Polytrol | Colour restorer for faded surfaces | Owatrol Direct

Restore the colour of faded surfaces - great for car bumpers, boat gelcoats, tarnished metals, faded stone, tiles, paint, plastics and fibreglass (GRP).

Think I have used it a couple of times in 6 years - some say once a year.

Gtechniq g4 is also reckoned to be good. Not used that myself as yet (my trial size tin of polytrol is still very nearly full )
 
Hi Cliff
Any tips on the top of door cards peeling? Online videos seem to suggest using a 3M glue that's not available in the UK to re-glue them. Do you know if it's a tricky one to do as a DIY job or any organisations near/ in London that might do a good job?
Thanks!

Hi Tim.
Sorry to hear about your peeling door cards, you don't mention if vinyl or leather? If vinyl might be good opportunity to upgrade to leather.


Personally I would go to a professional outfit for a much better finish.


Take a look at a company in Enfield called B Trim

Regards Cliff
 
I was thinking pro would likely be best. They’re vinyl, and I’m actually looking at upgrading the whole car to a 718 😆
Thank you Cliff, they look great

On a separate note, any tips for paint shop too? I have a scratch on the front wing
Cheers!
 
Top Tip Might be time to carry out before winter sets in.

Might be time to clean and restore those soft tops.
I always Prefered reproofing with Fabsil Gold
