Seeing a classic car is always lovely, and when it's a Porsche, it can be extra special. But when the Porsche in question has a RUF badge and is one of two supposedly ever made, it's a really amazing sight. The car in today's video is a 1987 Porsche RUF Slantnose convertible, of which only two were ever made. It's based on the Porsche 911 Slantnose of the time and is a serious collector's item, which Ammo NYC, a prestigious detailing company in New York, specializes in. This company has worked on hypercars and old American classics alike, so although the RUF Slantnose you see here hasn't gotten a proper clean in almost 10 years, you just know it's going to come out looking amazing.

As always, Larry Kosilla starts by checking the thickness of the paint in various areas to determine how safe it is to polish. Once he determines that his machines won't eat through the paint, he goes to the interior, with the paintwork to be addressed last. A deep clean is required here, and the original seats are in need of some moisturization. This gets carried out along with other cleaning methods to ensure that all the tiny bits of dirt and debris are removed from the cabin. Using soft brushes, Kosilla carefully cleans the switches and dials too, and the end result is a cabin that looks almost as good as new.

Moving on to the exterior, the entire body is washed and the convertible top is cleaned, something that Kosilla advises against unless the soft top is actually dirty. After correcting the single-stage paint as carefully as possible, the end finish is not perfect, but that's to ensure that the body looks as good as possible while retaining as much of its original paint as possible. That said, there are some areas where intensive work is required to remove overspray and to fix stone chips. To resolve the latter, Kosilla uses the needle-and-syringe method, something that takes loads of practice. Finally, the car is coated so it retains its shine and all the rubbers and plastics are dressed for that "like new" look.

These videos fail to capture the sheer length of time and the amount of effort that goes into a preservation detail like this, but the results are definitely worth all the work.
