Re: 5 days, 1 Ferrari, 150 pictures, La Bella Firma by Bella Macchina

It took a most of the day to remove the defects and polish with Menzerna 106fa using a Lake Country White CCS 6.5 inch pad on a rotary. The second day consisted of finishing the polishing step, and then jeweling the paint with Menzerna PO85rd using gray Lake Country Foam pads. The following before and after pictures where taken in various stages, sometimes after M105 and sometimes after polishing over the second and third day.

I realize not all of the pictures depict the ultimate result achieved (I'll let the sun shots speak for themselves later in the thread) but they give a good base line of the work accomplished).

The engine intake scoops have a tough radius to polish with a machine. Meguiars M105, a lot of elbow grease, and a Lake Country Orange finger foam pad removed 95 percent or so of the scratching. This was followed with Menzerna 106fa on a gray foam pad, again worked in with a lot of passion.




The plastic reflectors and tail lights where rubbed out with M105 by hand, finished with Meguiars PlastiX
