    BTW, that car is a base platinum with the logo of an S e-Hybrid (acid green trim). Not an S either as the calipers are the base color and the exhaust tips are not correct.
    My guess is this car has had a bit of a rough life (maybe hit in the rear, and who knows what done to the liners).

    • @ryancplays8598

      And probably the rear hatch replaced. Reason I say that is that this is a base platinum not an S. I’m it has the badge of an e-Hybrid with the acid green outline. Plus no green calipers for S e-hybrid (or red for S), and base exhaust tips (not the 4 round like the S).
      So definitely has some history to this car.

    Love hearing your comments on the quality of the higher end cars. I have a 2006 Cayenne, and it does not have any form of carpet in the wheel wells. And after watching this video, glad it doesn't. Coincidentally, my car is at the dealer for service and they gave me a 2023 Cayenne loaner and I just checked, it doesn't have "carpet" but some type of thin felt like material. My Cayenne has black interior and I have a German Shepherd. Your recommendation for the Lily brush has made my life and car interior so much better!

  • @plus790
    @plus790 Рік тому +4

    Unless this is just snow and ice packing in those wheel wells and tearing everything up, there's really no excuse, they just used a poor vendor for those liners. Manufacturers go through periods where similar issues will often affect a number of their models--one of the most infamous was the biodegradable wiring(!) from Mercedes 20 years ago. As an owner of 2002 and 2009 Porsches with quite a few more miles than this one, I've had no issues with wheel wells. In fact, I've been amazed by the quality of the cars on the whole and the underside and corrosion resistance specifically. The notorious issues of Porsches from my era, were the stupid soft-touch interior finish that begins to flake, and the foam in the vents that degrades and spits out in bits. IMS bearings affected that 2002 era, but not the 2009.

I’ve thought about starting on some cars at home but I barely know anything about cleaning and detailing cars, other than you always clean your wheels first. I know the basics of exterior cleaning but nothing much of interior at all and what will and won’t damage your interior especially for seats.

    I have watched your videos for awhile, love the detail you do, now the one thing I hardly see is exterior details, do you not offer that?

    Hi. I've always wondered, when you're pressure washing these types of vehicles, with the salt and road grime all over them, do you use hot water? Thanks.
    Great detail! Like always.

    Beautiful job. But, no paint correction before the graphene spray?

      I think Mitch does a lot more paint decon and polishing than he shows. At least I hope he does. Then again, no doubt some of his customers don't ask for it or want to pay for the extra steps if they think their paint "isn't that bad".

    Hmm, interesting. Great video as always. For some reason I thought this vehicle brand was Italian, I never realized that it was German. Interesting. Thanks Mitch.
