All these youtubers popping up everywhere claiming to be detailers when actually most of them just give the cars a thoroughly good wash. THIS is detailing. Top video 👍

Persist the standard? That doesn't make sense...syntax error...lol explain...

[@final0915]

​@@timsgta maybe you can teach me some English grammar here :) I meant ''keeping the standard up, don't let it drop'', can't ''persist'' be used here?

Dump those K&N stickers on the air box in the bin too.

[@railmaster.7752]

The matte black bonnet ruins the look of the car more than the pitted original paint on the bonnet did.

[@nolanohana]

Need a new crest on the hood, mount the old one on the center console 😉

[@stevehoulihan726]

That's the most detailed detail I've ever seen. Cleaning the jack too?! That's a helluva turnaround. Personally I don't like the black lights, and I was expecting tbe bonnet to be resprayed, but I suppose that's a bit of an ask in three days, less when they realised they couldn't rescue it.

[@electricdovetv2692]

@@railmaster.7752 Agreed.

[@markwilliford7471]

The matte hood is a fail - but otherwise just amazing guys. Makes you want to detail!

That matte hood is horrible.

[@flod1036]

it looks like primed

[@bluasterisk]

It's a shame that the hood couldn't be brought back, but I'm sure it was in such a bad state that it would have stood out more than the wrap.

[@SpencerSlaughter426]

I really dig what you guys did here. The transformation on this car was one of the best I have ever seen. Most importantly of all, another sports car is back on the road with a fellow car enthusiast behind the wheel. If this happened to my project car, the amount of inspiration and motivation this would give me to keep pushing forward with it would be immense. I think this is a really good thing you guys have done here. Love the videos, keep up the good work!

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thank you, we aim to please with these

[@paulhunter123]

having owned a 924 i think the wrap solution on the bonnet was a great solution to a problem, being such a low fronted car this is the most vunrable panal on the entire car to stone chips and what not.i really like the contrast between gloss black and matt black and many cars aeroplanes have matt noses to decrease glare - its a marmite thing u dig it or u dont. great job guys in 3 days dang!

[@Hizzogarage]

I had that same car, when I was 20 till 22 ( 1998 ) Same Model, same color, same wheels. I miss it. I had 2 Trans Am (78, 79), 1 Camaro V8 (91) , Smart Roadster (790kg) since 6 years a New Edge, Mustang, since 7 years and a BMW 645 and since 1 year a Toyota Mr2 sw20 in my garage. ....but the 944 was the best car I ever have driven. Not to small, not to big, Not to light, not to heavy, best driving in curves, best Handling, best on german highways.... ( except the sound was not so great, it' s only a 4 cylinder )

Back in the 80’s I worked in a local Porsche dealer in sales and I had a lot of opportunities to drive 944’s. They were decent,honest handling sports cars. My favorite was the Turbo S. Very fast and easier to go quickly than a 911 because the 944 has a better weight bias than the 911,that big lump of a motor sitting “behind” the rear wheels in a 911 requires a different approach to cornering than a 944. I still love the 911 but as a daily driver a 944 is a great sports car.

That is one beautiful 944 Porsche.
