Thanks for you reply ...and especially, Toto, thanks for yours. I think this help clear up System One..the polish you discuss is just right for it's designed purpose. Toto, from what I am hearing you say, Tom also may be making a new product for the "perfectionist".
Not to try to be a jerk, and I know it will come across that way but some clarification is needed.
I know Cavallino well (I live where its held.) Just to clarify ...you state [
I]"However I do high end detailing dealing primarily with Ferrari's and won several platimums, silvers, and trophies at Cavallino" [/i]
I believe the owners of the cars won those events, the restorers brought the cars to the level of perfection and you made sure they weren't dirty, swirly and they shined real nice? (not to minimize that effort because there are many great detailers out there.) The overall contribution you made to any of the cars winning is negligible at best whereas the restoration etc is of paramount importance.
The scoring of the Cavallino says "Therefore, the primary focus of the judging will be on originality, authenticity and condition, with
minor emphasis on cosmetics. Deductions will be made for over-restoration; extravagance detracts from originality. Applied patina is discouraged. Spyder conversions and unauthorized rebodies are ineligible for judging.
Over-cleanliness is unnecessary; some slight road dust and wear is to be expected. Ferraris are meant to be driven.
Also clarify "

Correct.
The car in this thread is the one that one silver. It was marked down for incorrect nuts on the battery (no I'm not kidding). I personally think one of the judges was gunning for this car because this car had shown his up pretty bad at a previous show. Even the winners commented that this car was the best looking one there.
I also detailed the Gold winner."
Which platinum winners did you detail?
