    Hello everyone! Just purchased a 1973 911 which hasn't been detailed / waxed in the last decade. It has the original paint which I would like to save (minor cracking present). Any leads for someone who can help would be greatly appreciated. TIA David

    Just wondering if it's a 911S? OR perhaps a Carrera RS??? At any rate, I always go with Freddy at International Detail in West LA.
    2264 Barry Ave
    Los Angeles, CA 90064
    (310) 312-8989

    Also if you need a great mechanic, I like Marc at Redline Service:
    3387 Livonia Ave
    Los Angeles, CA 90034
    (310) 280-0700

    I have a 73 Firebird T/A with original paint that's cracking, unfortunately once at that point not a whole lot can be done.

    Jason at Xcaliber detail is someone I trust, he's worked on many of my toys, including few seventies era enamel/ urethane painted cars, I highly recommend him.

    nothing can be done about the cracking...except for a repaint, but the paint can be brought back to life with a little finessing! heavy correction wouldnt be the answer, but a couple rounds of medium to light polishing would turn the look of the car around!
