- Detailing a Porsche 911 for the first time isn't easy. Paint correction for beginners isn't easy. This isn't a review of the Rupes Bigfoot but it's my first time using an orbital polisher. What could possibly go wrong?

Lovely 964! Machine polishing is knackering isn't it! I've tried once too, same as you i spent 2 days on it after watching videos on here. People don't mention what hard work it is, on your knees most of the time, repetitive, awkward etc , but that end result is amazing. Will have to try again on my 911, it's white so much more forgiving! Loving the vids btw, here bc of Auto Amateur mentioning you!
Definitely tiring! But the results make it worth it for sure. I imagine whir your ne more forgiving - perhaps harder to inspect results as you go? Gee whiz, I owe James a bottle of something I think!
Green over tan! Nice job done on the paint.
Hey thanks so much!
The final reveal is spectacular... liquid paint work, nice job 👍
Thanks fella! Hard to accurately show how silky it looks.
That hard yakka was worth it mate! It looks absolutely stunning! Great job and thanks for sharing! Cheers. Alan
Oh thanks for watching Alan! 👍🏼👍🏼
After washing and drying the car you need to CLAY BAR the car before buffing or polishing. You will be amazed how much it removes and makes the polishing easier.
Such a good point! I did actually clay bar it prior to polishing but didn't film that step. So yes, absolutely agree.
Well done! Looking very sharp! Greetings from a fellow Forest Green 964 on gold BBS E88 owner 👍🏻
you're clearly a person of great taste! 😂 Greetings back to you!👍🏼
Cool video Andy - great results!
Good on ya Rob! Legend!
I’ve watched Larry’s videos also, they’re excellent. Even with that good instruction, you’re brave mate. Well done - cheers.
Ah thanks David. Larry is awesome. I'm a big fan of how passionate he is. He'd probably be horrified to know I didn't use a paint depth gauge before starting!
Gorgeous 964, that green with the bronze BBS wheels just works 👍
Hey thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Really appreciate it. I certainly think the colour combo works well (but I might be a little biased!)
Great work Andy, only thing I could say is, it would have been nice to see the products you used for each stage.....👍🏻
Very fair point! I used Rupes compounds. D-A Fine polishing compound and yellow pad followed by Uno Protect with white pad 👍🏼
Nice video mate! Car looks terrific! Loved your comment about it being confidence-building.
Thanks so much Jay! it's true - my first pass was quite nerve wracking but after a while I became more and more confident. Now wouldn't hesitate to use it to fix imperfections. The Rupes is such a good bit of kit!
great presenting and excellent channel hope it grows, 964 looks great
Roger Bailey thanks for taking a look mate! Cheers.
Nice job Andy. I will have a chat about the Rupes next time we catch up. Also did you have a go at the rear lenses. I believe these also come up a treat when you give them the treatment.
I haven't actually. I've heard the same but the rear lenses are in good shape. Might give it a shot though!
Looking fresh! Great job Andy
Ah, thanks Tom!
looking great! that green is such a Chameleon colour, at times it looks much much darker. keep content coming, enjoing it! 👍
Thanks so much for the feedback Craig! Yep, Chameleon is spot on. It absorbs, flat light on cloudy days, looking almost black. When hit with direct light it transforms.
@@lastrasp it's the same with the Amazon Green too. It looks like a blend of Emerad and turquoise and sparkles in bright sunlight, in the shadows it appears to be a flat dark blue and in the night it looks pretty much black. 🙂
OMG that made me tired just watching it Andy! but looks amazing!
Hah! Well now I've got some experience with metallic green 964's I'll just swing by and do yours shall I?
OMG dude, this makes me excited and utterly anxious about doing the same job on my 991 now I took the wrap off... 2 days? Oh boy... p.s. GREAT JOB!!!
Well truth be told I had a practice run on my 991 - makes sense right? It's actually a lot of fun. Now with the polisher I've actually been confident enough to just grab it and do little fixes. Such an awesome machine!!!
Very nice! Well done
Thanks mate!
Hey great job with you content, it’s refreshing to see an new local lad having a crack....your 964 is looking and sounding 👍
Cheers! Getting stuck into it. Appreciate the feedback!
Wow, turned out amazing! Great job!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.
I wish I could give a thumbs up each time I watch your videos:)
Bloody awesome!
Thank you, thank you!
Do you have magpies or kokuburos in the yard? Sounds familiar. Gorgeous 11 you have there.
Yeah plenty of magpies and kookaburras nearby. The joys of living close to the Aussie bush! Thanks for the comment!
How’s that buff go on Bush pinstripes ? 😬 great vid as always.
I'll have to try and let you know! 😂 Cheers mate.
Looks great. Do you mind telling me which color green that is. In the middle of a restoration on my 911 and debating between forrest, moss and brewster greens. Cheers!
Hey. What a great project! How far along are you? It’s Forest Green Metallic. They’re all quite similar colours. One thing I’ll say about Forest Green is it’s a chameleon color. Changes so much depending on the light.
Thanks. Restoring a '76 Carrera. Existing color is not original and believed to be either moss green metallic or forrest green metallic. Discovered non-metallic brewster green recently and am leaning in that direction. Metal work is done, primer is done, almost ready for paint.
@@klg65 sounds brilliant. Are you on Instagram? I’ll give you a follow.
@kl_gould. Dont post much but will add pics of current project soon.
@@klg65 I'll check it out!
Grouse vid Andy
Thanks fella!! 🍻
Did you modify the front wheel liner to get the wheels to not rub when turning. Did you also fit the steering rack brace which is recommended when running 18" wheels.
I haven’t. I can get full lock unless I’m on a drive way or something else where it’s a bit steep. Tried the Rothsport steering rack brace but it won’t fit on RHD cars.
@@lastrasp good luck with the channel. I have the same wheels in storage and my 964 also needs a machine polish. I'm like you. love clearing the car but not sure how much i'll enjoy polishing it.
@@lucasmoreno5330 thanks for the support! Really appreciate it. Doing a machine polish is a bit of work for sure but immensely satisfying!
My son has a cayman check it out @kamrin jarrells on TH-cam
Hey Kevin, thanks for the heads up. Your son's Cayman looks fantastic. I'm a big fan of yellow!
@@lastrasp Thanks for checking it out. He has worked hard to get his dream car.
