Hello! Been looking for an answer to what I thought was a fairly simple issue but have turned up absolutely no results anywhere. Recently I noticed that the black edge guides of my soft top have some paint chips. I suspect they're from a recent car wash and not from regular use, as I haven't...

After a lot of on-line research, trial and error using an ABS test piece, I have documented the following to remove the Soft-touch coating and repaint the Porsche ABS plastic. It worked well for me, but the process does take time. The Soft touch is easily removed using DOT 3 brake fluid...

I bought an unloved 987 cayman nearly a year ago and have been slowly nursing it back to health. I am now getting round to the tail lights which I had at first written off as condensation however after looking closer at them to tackle the problem I have realised that in fact it is the inside...

I have an 07 CS with a Basalt Black Metallic paint job. I noticed a few small chips just below my driver side door. I think the landscaping crew at my office got too close with the weed wacker and shot some pebbles into my car grrrrrr. I was going to get the touch up paint at suncoast, but i...

I’m painting my 987 center console to match the outer car body. Would like to also paint the faceplate of the climate controls and the faceplate of the CDR-24 to match but concerned that removing the faceplates would release contact pads and springs on the rocker switches I may never get back...

I've got to pull the drivers side out to replace my trunk switch anyway, so I'm considering buffing and refinishing the sills using one of...

Over the weekend my MTB fell on my cayman GTS and scratched it. Its small but I am torn of ways how to have it fixed. Is this something worth covering up with a touch up paint or should I take it to the dealers body shop at Pfaff. Would appreciate suggestions from anyone . Any reputable auto...

Any recommendations for a good self car wash facility in NJ to use during the Winter? I'd rather not take it to a hand car wash place. And its too cold to do on my driveway. Mainly interested in getting the undercarriage cleaned. I can use waterless wash (Chemical guys eco) for the paint...

Felt the need to take on the "paint the calipers" project, so after removing all four calipers and multiple cleanings to stop the brake fluid seep I tried the G2 brush paint epoxy. Warning for the perfectionist!! I applied the epoxy paint and during the third coat I could see this wasn't going...

I need some advice here. I was traveling down I-85 last month and a dump truck had some gravel blow out from under his tarp which peppered my car. I went from the standard chips on the bottom of the hood to a sandblasted bumper, hood, both front fenders and both rear quarter panels. I...
