This 1998 Porsche 911 in Vesuvio trim is one of only 24 in North America. Valued at over $230,000, it's the kind of car where every decision about maintenance and protection matters. The owner, Thomas, purchased this car brand new in 1998 and has held onto it ever since. When he decided it was time to give it proper protection, he came to us — because when you're dealing with a car this rare, you don't take it to just anyone. Working on air-cooled Porsches requires special care. The paint on these older 911s is different from modern clear coats. The Vesuvio purple is a limited-edition color that can't be replicated, so there's zero room for error. Our process started with a careful hand wash designed specifically for air-cooled Porsches. Then a thorough clay bar treatment to pull embedded contaminants from nearly three decades of driving. We moved into paint correction with Icon Rocklear compound, addressing scratches carefully — using polishing rather than aggressive sanding to preserve as much original paint as possible. We performed water tests to check scratch visibility, alcohol wipes to ensure perfect surface bonding, and used only white towels for prep work to avoid any color transfer onto the irreplaceable paint. After the full Icon Rocklear application, this one-of-24 Porsche now has 15+ years of permanent protection. No yellowing film. No peeling edges. Just a permanent bond protecting automotive history. After protecting thousands of vehicles, we know what it takes to preserve legends like this one. And honestly, this is why we do what we do.
