992 GT3 Touring FIXING Worst New car Delivery EVER!

[@DjNikGnashers]

As an ex-valeter at a main dealership, and hobby detailer, I am absolutely blown away by the attention to detail and the over all professionalism in this work.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thank you!!!!! 👍🙂🙂

[@tylernoice8770]

This car should NOT have left the lot like that. You did an awesome job bringing it back to life. I’m sure you made the end customer even happier!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks! He was definitely happy!! It's a tough situation. The dealership can fix some of this stuff. But a lot of it we don't want them to fix. Because there method of fixing it will be wrong but probably fast. That's assuming the guy they have fix it even knows how to fix half the issues without damaging the car in the process. The customer wanted it this way so I could fix it. It wasn't unfortunate situation where the car was sitting so much that a lot of the stuff ended up being worse than it should have been because of the sitting. "COVID cars" for some reason the supplied chain was weird and these cars sat a lot and that's just been normal. But t many of the other problems Obviously happened during manufacturing and are much harder to explain.

[@Abesta83]

he does say the customer declined the pre delivery setup/inspection. No way any dealer would deliver a vehicle like this. he probably had them remove the wrap to confirm no scratches or dings and drove off. it was in a yard, then a ship then another yard for the last 30-40 days before the dealership even got it. completely normal.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@Abesta83 you are correct 👍 but it was in port for like 60-90 days or something insane.

I cannot believe how these mega dollar automobiles are handled at port before they get delivered to their dealerships. My GT Silver had delivery wrap glue even after the dealership prep. I couldn’t believe they allowed this to be delivered to me in this condition. I had to go back as asked for a better detail, they said they clayed and washed but I still do t believe it. Sad at this price point, what you get.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@De132an delivery wrap glue is really common. It can be tricky to remove especially safely

[@peterbest5938]

Unusual and very rare. Porsche usually deliver their cars in amazing condition and their paint finish is by far better than nearly everyone on the market as confirmed by paint and PPF specialists who have to do virtually zero to the paint before coating.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Lol is this a joke comment? Literally everything you just said was incorrect lolol. Look at all the Porsches I've done videos on with issues. Porsche Orlando called me yesterday saying they delivered a touring with similar issues and had to out source to a detailer because it was bad. All the local detailers here are fully aware that nearly every GT Porsche car has sanding marks and other defects.

[@peterbest5938]

@@STATUSDETAIL Sucks to an American I guess. As a % of what they sell and ship the amount you attend to is like piss in the ocean. I don’t recall anyone saying that every Porsche is perfect and of course one only gets asked to correct a car that isn’t what it should be. Rest of the world and Europe have no such issues. I can imagine if a Porsche dealership had the car before you it would not have been in such a poor state of delivery but as you say it came from the docks. It’s suspicious why would a brand like Porsche call a third party to clean a car and not PDI it themselves I’m sure they’d wanna do this in house rather than give it to some loud mouth KZbinr who is just going to try to trash them and create poor content

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@peterbest5938 do you work at Porsche or inspect new Porsches as your profession? Or just guessing with everything you just said. I have around 12 years experience around cars in a professional setting and 7 as a owner of status. Most of our Porsche details are new and the owners say they are new and perfect as you stated until we find all the issues. We make them perfect then ceramic or ppf or both over it. That's why we find the issues and fix them so we don't seal them in. Obviously when they are allowed to prep the car it is not dirty. I'm talking about defects and things they miss. I've never seen a Porsche come in "perfect" ready for ceramic. We do have high expectations tho and that's why our customers trust us to make the car perfect. I do appreciate your comment but we have two different experiences or definitions of "very rare"

[@peterbest5938]

@@STATUSDETAIL I’m a Porsche owner (991 Speedster, Carrera 4S) plus some other interesting Italian vehicles that are worse out of the factory than Porsche. Every ‘new’ car will have something that can be improved but likely not visible under the naked eye. Porsche happen to deliver cars finished way better than most. Your content presents an entirely different narrative that all most Porsches you see are terrible and require correction which is clearly not the case at all. You are just one of loads of KZbin ‘detailers’ that like to show off their efforts which is fine but don’t exaggerate by implying a particular brand always delivers its new cars in such a terrible mess. Try Bentley or Rolls even and I’m sure you’ll eventually find something to ‘correct’ but that doesn’t give you license to imply these are all terrible and isn’t it wonderful that have you to correct and make perfect.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@peterbest5938 rolls actually does a really incredible job lol. Bentley too. They are two brands that actually go out of there way to remove factory orange peel. So they spray extra clear and go back and sand the clear down multiple times. Extremely labor intensive. They have some of the nicest paint in the world....

[@nexamax]

Awesome work and presentation, once more! When these cars sit in the holding yards it is disastrous. My TLX Type-S sunroof seals were absolutely disgusting mudded up including the railing. As for the delivery wrap markings, that's due to the fact that it's applied too soon after the paint curing and de-oxygenated. Your detailing care essentially re-oxygenates the paint/clear coat and allows for these lines to disappear. Being closely in-tune with Porsche import, usually one of the inbound Customs POE is Houston and if it sat in Houston, it is possible that it got some drenched Gulf storms, which means sand within droplets. However, the Porsche Lot Techs are not always (aka: NEVER) to be trusted because they bare minimum "detailing" materials from management and cannot be trusted to provide top notch results... unfortunate but the reality. I tell my customers to refuse ANY dealership "detailing" and get over the "grand reveal" and come straight to me. Usually, I try to get cars within hours from coming off the delivery trucks (often handled by Russian truckers who are more often than none careless).

[@STATUSDETAIL]

A lot of very interesting information in that comment. I totally agree about getting over the grand reveal. To many people want the "experience" vs the reality that it needs to leave ASAP to be fixed and then have a proper reveal with us lol

What’s crazy is I was taking delivery of a black Audi Q7 and it was all scratched from the wrapper it comes in. They tried fixing it which did nothing as I’m sure they didn’t use a DA buffer, so they lost the sale and I canceled. Still Amazes me that auto makers can’t figure out how to transport black cars.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

That's unfortunate but I have heard stories like this a lot. For future reference do remember if it's just like swirl marks type scratches then just have them pay for your detail. Honestly that's a great way to get correction for free lol. If it was a legit nasty scratch or down to metal then I understand completely. Would suck to have a repainted panel.

Great job on the detail work. I can't help but think that there's an unknown back story about the cars condition. Literally every Porsche that leaves the factory for customer delivery is covered in a custom fitted, zippered cloth type cover.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks! When they sit in the port they get pretty dirty! Some of these cars are sitting in the port for 3-4 months literally just waiting. As you mentioned it's a cloth type cover. So water and dirt and all kinds of crud are going to build up. I've seen this on multiple Porsche deliveries from three different dealerships.

Yea that brake thing can be annoying lol. When I do the wash faster because I'm not filming it doesn't rust over as bad. So when you use the brakes as shown it works even better. But when I'm filming I have to go so slow and it takes even longer so the brakes rust over way worse. By the way it's a problem The point is during the normal wash they don't actually look that bad.

[@hyper_channel]

Very sad to pay that kind of money and get the car in that condition. And it doesn't end there, ask anybody who worked on or is familiar with a dealership and these cars get joy rided all the time, driven very hard without the knowledge of the owner while being "tested" after a service or repair, and the list goes on and on (this is not just Porsche ofc). Most likely if you have the money for this car you can just say whatever and turn a blind eye but still shouldn't be like that.

I am shocked to find out the shape of the paint straight from the manufacturer, especially the swirl marks below the factory PPF piece! That's unacceptable for a high-end luxury car like Porsche.

The sanding mark under ppf is definitely a wild thing to see. To be clear dealerships don't mask or hide this stuff. Honestly the sanding marks and swirls they never see or necessarily understand how big of a deal it is to some of us. Lots of cars from every manufacturer have delivery issues like this too. Porsche definitely has crazy sanding marks and other paint issues tho. It's common in my opinion. So find a good detailer lol. Glad you joined the channel!!!

Do you generally wrap edges so they are hidden, where you can? I've been told it can wear more and pull away faster vs going close to the edge and want to know your thoughts? I think it looks much more clean where edges are hidden. Thanks, great car!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Hello John Great question. We typically wrap all edge's that can be reasonably wrapped.so the hood for example is fully wrapped. But on the Touring for example where the bumper and fenders meet you would have a PPF edge that's unwrapped. Hypothetically you can remove the bumper and wrap that edge fully. The issue with this is the film will now rub against itself with subtle driving vibrations and end up pushing it self out of that jam and eventually look really horrible. The back of the fender by the door can often be tucked behind into the fender/door jam as well. This attention to detail adds surprisingly lots of labor. Because you need to come back multiple times to ensure it's sticking on the back side of panel. Typically it's heated a few times to ensure durability. So be prepared for a longer overall install process and typically slightly more expensive job. In most cases I'd say either way is equally durable as long as it's done with precision and care. But I'd never recommend the tuck like the fender bumper example.

Im pretty sure I literally explained this in the video... But still commented about it? Gyeon quick detailer is very mild. As in not strong and works as a great drying aid. Just because we're about to paint correction doesn't mean we should be careless when drying especially in a black car. It just so happy that this car was hammered and probably wouldn't have mattered how I'd ride it but we didn't know that It was that bad during that wash process so we were still being careful. I knew the car was going to need around a compounding and that's going to cut through any wax residue that was in Gyeon quick detailer on about 2 seconds. It would be a different story if I was putting ceramic base sealants on a car because that could be a little more hassle but we did not use that

I didn’t hear it mentioned on this video, but which foam was used on this one? I know you use CarPro Lift and Gyeon Foam some, but what are your thoughts on the GTechnique Foam? Is it as good as the other 2? Thanks, Love your content!

I'm truly not sure what I used. I switch a lot lol I use reset. Bathe. Gsf. Foam and lift. Sometimes I use a professional line Maguires that I use really heavy like hardly diltue it.

Actually there is some rust left on the breaks, is there any solution for that?

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Not sure what you mean? Typically on steal brakes you will see some rust on areas the pads don't touch. That's common. Technically you could like sand it off but it's just going to rust when it rains or gets washed. Our concern is having that stuff come off on the drive home. So we get it off preemptively.

Usually the cars look better. But they usually do have sanding marks and swirl marks. This was just extra dirty in top of that.

Can you please do a video on interior leather cleaning? I bought a new 2022 G80 M3 a few months ago and I didn’t want someone else to mess with the interior. I’d like to clean it. Thanks!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

I definitely have this video in the works! If you check out my channel and look at the Lamborghini countach video you will see basically all the steps. The leatherque process is not needed on a new car. But the steps that come before that you could do on your car for sure. But like I said I do have a video coming on interior cleaning. I always show it in my videos but I've never done like a step-by-step video. They actually filmed the video already that's awaiting editing on interior cleaning but that's more of like a light fast dusting cleaning type situation. I also want to make a video that's a more in-depth leather cleaning video

[@bludika]

how do you even get sanding marks on a car that's basically brand new? do they sand the base coat of the paint at the factory prior to the clear coat?

[@STATUSDETAIL]

That's a great question I'll have to talk about this in future videos because I guess I kind of assume people know this but it is kind of complicated I suppose. Basically after the painting process there are dust nibs in the clear coat. This is literally one a speck of dust floats into wet clear coat and then it drys this way. It makes a weird little fisheye kind of appearance and the only way to remove this short of literally repainting that panel is to sand the dust out of the clear. Now after you do that you have to compound the sanding mark. So when I say sanding mark I actually mean the leftover remnants of one. Because they did technically compound and try and fix it. The problem is they're not completely removing the original marks. And that's what I'm showing you and most of my videos so I'm the one actually finishing off that sanding mark and making it so it doesn't look like it ever had anything. I hope that helps!

[@bludika]

I recently shipped a car that a relative wanted UK to USA. The cars have a pretty hard time of it, to be fair the shipping part of the cost was reasonable, and they handle industrial quantities of cars

[@STATUSDETAIL]

That's interesting. Not sure what you mean hard time of it

[@stanbest3743]

@@STATUSDETAIL hi amazing detail on that GT2 .Re the one I shipped. Cars that were not approved for the US market become eligible after 25 years. I spent 6 months looking for one that was 2 owners from new and garaged all its life. It had some small areas of surface rust on the subframes, which had an apology of a paint job from new. It passed an MoT pre purchase.The ship then made about 4 port calls that I hadn't expected resulting in the shipping date slipping a month. The car stood outside all that time and it didn't stop raining. I am sure all the brake discs will need replacing and what would have been a one hour job including getting the car up on the lift will be a project to rectify the subframes. It's embarrassing!

Hey Status ... 🙂 3:23 - 3:38 What Foam product are you using after the tar process and for the claying of the paint? Thank-You 👍 🙂

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@rcrbrewster7840 This is an older video but typically I use something like Gyeon foam. Or carpro lift. Or gtechniq citrus foam. You can use bathe. Reset or g wash too. Sometimes il combine like g wash and citrus foam. Or reset and lift for example

[@rcrbrewster7840]

@STATUSDETAIL Excellent ! As always, thank you Status for your reply and knowledge. Amazing stuff 👍👍👍

[@johncross2787]

You mentioned you had to buff the wheel arch several times, would that not have long term implications for the clearcoat in that area? I often see cars where the clearcoat has broken down on a panel which had been over buffed by a panel shop probably trying to put more shine on a panel adjacent to one freshly painted.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Anytime you polish a car you are removing clearcoat. How much you remove is going to be determined by the process and the person doing that process. What you are referencing is typically when an unskilled body shop person uses a rotary buffing with hard hitting compound in one spot for too long and they burn through the clear and you get a dull spot. A brand new car with a good process and some common sense It's incredibly difficult to burn through clear coat. What we did to this car left more than enough paint for years and years and years. But if an inexperienced person polishes this car or compounds this car and with the wrong products every year as part of a maintenance for example to make it more shiny than yes of course it's very possible that they burn through the clear coat in a matter of years. You just need to know the limitations of paint and you need to know when to not try and correct something or to stop chasing something that you're actively trying to fix. The use of paint depth gauges is also very helpful but those don't always tell you thr full picture. They tell you the depth of clear. Paint. Base coat primer. It'll also read things like Bondo and can be easy to spot a painted panel but that's a different story. The point is a paint depth guage doesn't read clear coat it reads everything. It's up to detailer to decipher how much of that number is clear coat and how much you have to work with. In my personal opinion on a brand new car a paint depth gauge doesn't tell you much because you know it's brand new paint and you know there's a decent amount no matter what I do it's going to read total depth. It's more helpful when your detailing a 25-year-old car and now we can kind of guesstimate how many times the car's been polished or compounded and then take a fraction of that number and say that much is clear.

This week end I am cleaning the leather seats and doors of my wife’s BMW with the Gyeon leather strong with the brush and coat, for the rest of the interior (plastic, vinyl, etc…can I use Gyeon prep? I dont have the interior quick detailing right now. I also have the Chemical guy Ceramic Hydro interior detailing product but they suggest to use another detergent to clean the bigger grime and dirt before using the hydro interior ceramic detailer. Would the Prep be a good choice, or just soap and water?

Art comes in many forms but you certainly create art in your own unique way! Can you give some advice on ceramic coating my new wheels? I have brand new untouched Mercedes S Class wheels and I am going to ceramic coat them before they go on the car. What steps should I take with the preparation? I. E. Should I use iron remover, machine polish them etc first? I have ceramic coated wheels before but never brand new. You advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thank! Check out the gt4rs video tomorrow!! I think it might be even better than this one! If they are literally bee and never used you want to spray a lot of gyeon prep on. Wipe that off and use a ceramic of your choice. Gtechniq and Gyeon both make wheel specific coatings. You can also do crystal serum light and exo or try mohs evo

[@flyman3386]

@@STATUSDETAIL Thanks Evan for your advice once again. I have Gyeon Rim for them. Would I be correct in saying, just Gyeon prep and then coat them?

@@flyman3386 you can do all of it and it will only help. But typically a new wheel is pretty clean. But you can do as many pre coating steps as you like. If they are used or even a little used then you would do decon. Clay. Polish prep.
