Subtle yet Extraordinary
“Air1”
We spared no effort on this project, and with confidence, we can say that this car looks as good as new. Considering the limited production run (345) of the 993 Turbo S, it's understandable for collectors and investors alike to trust us with this task. Even Michael Jordan recognized the specialness of a Turbo S, often arriving at the Chicago Bulls with his red 'AIR1'.
Inside Out

Upon arrival, there was little left to shine on this 993. The car had seen a tough life, and the marks of time were evident. After removing all contaminants from the paint, it became clear that multiple parts of the car needed repainting to achieve a flawless result. For instance, at some point in the past, clear coat had been applied without removing the paint protection film from the rear wheels.
The undercarriage and mechanical components of the car showed clear signs of track use. We often encounter this, as back then, the value wasn't astronomically high. To clean the engine, underbody, suspension, braking system, and all other technical aspects, we chose steam cleaning. This method is gentler than ice blasting and is our preference, especially for older cars.
Of course, we re-waxed the mechanics with original, undiluted wax. This isn't a simple aerosol application; it's done using a special spray gun and compressed air. This ensures that everything is perfectly protected for the decades to come.
We treated the interior with the same care and precision. The seat belts were cleaned, the carpet, headliner, leather, all nooks and crannies, and even the screws and bolts showing signs of rust were restored to original. The digital display had lost a few pixels, which we also rectified.
