I'm a pretty big DIY detailer and buy from you guys pretty frequently. Now that I've qualified myself haha... Outstanding job! I know that took a lot of elbow grease. Your efforts paid off! I bet the smile on his face when he saw it was priceless!

Wow that looks great!
You should come do mine...lol I also have a black 996tt and my paint looked just like that. Last weekend I did a light polish and wax and it looks way better than it did but still needs a real paint correction process.
