Ferrari F355 Berlinetta - Rosso Corsa
Hi everyone,

Did this one about a month back. The owner has put on less than 500 miles in the past year (last time I detailed it), but that didn't stop the dealer from tarnishing the finish. One car wash and here's what most of the paint looked like:



Although mostly superficial in nature, the defects still required a 2-step polishing process. The owner requested a paste wax for LSP. My finals were:

-Meguiar's Gold Class Wash (no clay needed)
-EFHI cut 4:1 on tires/wells

-Meguiar's #105 via rotary and LC German Green Polishing Pad @ 1400 rpm
-Menzerna PO106FF via rotary and LC Black Finishing Pad @ 1200 rpm
-#0000 Steel Wool and Zaino Z-AIO on Tubi exhaust

-Zaino Clear Seal on wheels
-Zaino Z16 on tires
-Poorboy's Natty's Blue on paint, glass















Enjoy.
