This week on the ElevenAfterNine Podcast my professional detailer answers the Porsche car care questions you email me most — paint correction, ceramic coating, PPF, proper washing, claying, tire shine, and why Porsche headlights are a restoration nightmare.
I sat down with Kris from Northeast Detailing in Hooksett, NH — the guy who's cared for my own cars for years, from Bertie (my 1972 911T) to a 100k-mile daily — to get straight, no-hype answers on how to actually protect and care for your Porsche's paint.
If you've ever wondered whether a new Porsche off the lot needs paint correction, how many buckets you really need to wash it, whether that \"waterless wash\" at the car show is scratching your paint, or why most shops refuse to film your headlights with PPF — check this out and leave comments below!
