I agree with the Dry Ice detailing. Check out some detailing videos where they do that to Porches. The before and after is amazing, Not sure what that costs and what detailing places have that equipment.
We are car guys, there won't ever be a time where we just never do anything to them- Moderation and Confidence is key though! Keep grinding homie :) Also, Ezekiel is a diamond.
That gunk on the underside. If it is wax based underseal / rust protection, it is a real pain to get off, especially if it has been there for a long time. I tried steam. No luck even with a degreaser. A friend tried ice blasting. That worked to some extent, but was expensive and only addressed the areas to which you had a clear line of sight. What worked for me was an intensive tar remover, rubbing where possible and several passes with a hot water pressure washer. A friend had access to industrial grade chemicals used to degrease commercial equipment. Those seemed to work as well, but may not be easily available or good for your health if used without appropriate protection.
Looks confirmed to be the cosmoline stuff Porsche puts on these cars from the factory. Might just leave it alone at this point if it's from the factory, or mess with the dry ice + tar remover method in the future, who knows!

Thats all there is to it, just "drive" it. Dont even consume so much as a single sentence of input from others on it, be it text, type or in person. just get in the car, turn the radio off and drive.

Just saw this comment but I 100% agree with you. I've been fighting the "just one more thing" paradox my whole life with cars. I'm doing it again to a small scale with this 993, but from the plan I have mapped out, I can assure you it's far less deep of a rabbit hole than many other cars!! The 993 is TRULY one of the few cars that doesn't need much, even though I know it's relative. For example, with other cars like the Exige, I HAD to upgrade things or else it sucked.
well done guys, well done. Love me some Widebody 993s, especially 2s so much more fun than a 4s. Keep sharing, and if you have some time, check out the video I made of my 993. ruclips.net/video/1YP3hUW3Yhw/видео.html cheers
CM Autohaus is the man! Love how he’s very detailed in his work
All your builds has been incredibly tasteful and clean. Underrated car channel, keep up the good work.
FYeahSpec
Corner balanced a car on the eponymously named Corner Balanced channel to make it more balanced in the corners.
nice
dude sick 80's techno vibes 4:10
Just came across your channel. What a super cool car. Looks great. Love the stance and seats. You need to have that thing dry ice detailed.
Dry ice blasting should take the coating off the underside.
Philipp Henke That might work, but does not get around the corners or into the nooks and crannies into which there is no line of sight.

I'm really digging this car. Think it's much more exciting than the Lotus. Keep the content flowing.

Beautiful car. Congrats, and good luck on dialing it in!
TY
No turbo in the glovebox? I am out ...
;)

I respect that man's work habits greatly
Yeah buddy! I’ve gotta go camera shopping but can’t wait to check this out when I get back. I’m sure it’s excellent!
How has this not had more views...?
Looking better already!
You always deliver.
Already looks even better

That gwen stefani edit was gold
haha
🤙Dude that's a pretty good movie!
Where did you purchase your center caps?
really hope this car will be your magnum opus
look up cryodetail that tunersmall offers, I'm sure someone on the west coast does the same thing.
Wow that looks perfect, all of the images on their website are of 911 under carriages, Lol
Smh...no flame thrower kit?! And you’re right, MSI studs are the best around, haven’t been able to find anything better yet.
downside is they're a bit pricy
I've a 1996 993 C2 iris blue metallic, 66,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny, varioram, LSD. No CEL, no oil leaks. I'm never selling it.
Great video. Very informative
Looks like the underside was sprayed with cosmoline. You need heat + greaser + elbow grease to remove.
Have you considered Dry Ice blasting? I miss the Lotus, but the Porsche is coming out amazing !!!
ruclips.net/video/v4QMIxhMKdw/видео.html
Degreaser and steamer to remove grime on the bottom.
What do you think of MK3 supras? I just bought my second one last month!
love the content
how does this compare to your rx7?
Hey I noticed you have Montana license plates on your lotus and Porsche, maybe you could make a vlog about it explaining why you have Montana plates.
its better for corner balancing
@@NeoAndersonReloaded yes, more balanced corners
Cali laws I’m guessing
Nice!!!

Steam/heated pressure washer. Will get it off.
things I build In my experience that does not work on a proper wax based underseal / rust protector at least if the stuff is old.
beaut
