[84944]

Hello folks,
I have recently entered into Porscheworld as I have decided to move out of the 'safe' world of owning and restoring domestic V8s since the '70s. Although Porsche has an unbelievable lineup of super-cars to choose from, I unfortunately fall into an economical bracket that hinders my ability to acquire one of Porsche's more sought-after models, so I have settled for a beautiful little '84 944 that is in remarkable condition (other than a down-shift and reverse vibration in the rear-end that I haven't figured out yet.) But while this 944 may be considered an underclass model designed by Porsche for the masses, it's still my little piece of automotive art, and the only thing that is disappointing about this 'soon to be' pristine 1st edition 944, is that some inexperienced cretin has machine polished a few trim parts and panel contours right down to the primer. Well, to a guy who's automotive passion falls into the category of "factory original cars" this can be a huge issue as I prefer to restore original paint if possible. This brings me to my topic as I would like to get some input from the Porsche owner as to his/her opinions or insight. I am a veteran "to the trade" Custom Automotive Polisher who has been restoring and correcting custom and factory paintwork for the better part of thirty years for Rolls/Bentley Aston, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, 2 auto auctions, a number of custom body shops and detail shops. So I'd like to ask the members of this forum if they would benefit from, or ever utilize a service that focused solely on Master "Superfinish" paint polishing, factory/original paint restoration techniques, wet-sand blocking, scuff and scratch removal and the ultimate paint protection service available. I am considering the start-up of a small shop to offer this trade service as a retail enterprise in the Toronto/GTA North area in spring '08.
