BMW 650 / Ferrari 360
Once again, I had the help of "Sal329". There's no way I could have gotten both of these done today without him.
BMW process: ONR wash (car and wheels). QID wipedown of the interior, and a vacuum. I have done this car before, so it just needed a some spot buffing, and another coat of wax. We used 1Z High Glanz. Tires got Hyper dressing 2:1 and the exhaust and wheels got Duragloss 510. It was raining today, so we did some work outside, but most of the work was in the garage. After pictures only:
Ferrari 360. The customer drives it - the way a fine machine should be driven. Car was dirty, but the paint was in good shape. We QEW washed the car and wheels. The interior was vacuumed, and leather seats, headliner and dash were thoroughly cleaned. The engine compartment was wiped down with ONR/Water. The trunk area was vacuumed, and the tool case was also cleaned. It was polished with 106ff, the PC a 5.5" with a white LC pad. It was topped with Souveran. In the spring we'll probably go back and do a full correction. Hyerdressing 2:1 on the tires, and 303 on the rear under valence.

Excellent work on both cars! That Ferrari was pretty dirty.

Re: BMW 650 / Ferrari 360
Awesome work. Nice to see a car like a 360 driven. That is why they put an engine and tires on it!

Re: BMW 650 / Ferrari 360
Nice job, some of the inside shots are a little blurry though. I agree with you though I love to see exotics actually driven.

Re: BMW 650 / Ferrari 360
Nice work, David. The red 360 I did was in almost the exact same condition. They're fun cars to work on. The paint is a piece of cake to correct.

Re: BMW 650 / Ferrari 360
Thanks for the comments. I realized the image stabilization feature on my camera is shot....time for a new one. In the spring, the 360 will get a full correction, and I'll have better pics then.
