VERY healthy readings on the roof... a bit suspicious.
Some "Jesse in action" shots
All polishing was done with a Riwax cutting pad and InstaFinish #15. Like with the Ferraris I've done before, saving as much paint as I could was paramount, so after spreading the polish at 600, I did my first couple of passes with about 30 lbs. of pressure at 900, then eased up on the pressure to about 20-25 for the next couple of passes, then for the finishing I used the weight of the machine only and jeweled it as much as I could with a cutting pad. This got out the holograms and minor scratches, leaving me with a better view of the deeper scratches. After that, I applied a bit more #15 and addressed each scratch individually with the edge of my pad and a good amount of pressure until the scratch was gone. After a couple passes in a certain spot I flattened the pad back out and made a couple of quick passes to let that spot cool down and to refine the polishing I'd just done. Some scratches needed to be taken out with a Scholl 4" wool pad and InstaCut #0 though. After all the scratch removal was done, I finished up with a finishing pad and InstaCut #30, polishing each panel for about 20 minutes or until I went cross-eyed.
How dare they not provide me with a lift this time!
This was a weird position being halfway under the car, but actually quite comfortable for polishing the bottom half of the car.
Side window thingy before and after. I started polishing this with a finishing pad and Insta Cut #30, but it just left more swirls... so then I switched to PoliSeal and it was perfect... just enough cut to "erase" the swirls and scratches, but not enough to mar it.
The back tail lights before. I started these with PoliSeal, but there were some scratches that were just too deep so I went to the second least abrasive polish I have, Dodo Juice Lime Prime... took out the deeper scratches like a champ.
I love these next 3 shots
Jesse wins, flawless victory!
Scuffed up in a very awkward and hard-to-reach place
All better now
Polishing the windows with a finishing pad and Dodo Juice Lime Prime to remove the water deposits
All glass was treated with Liquid Glass... I love that stuff
This is what I need to wash the ding dang car!!!!
Dirty...
I taped up around this to avoid scratching. I used steel wool and some Riwax medium cut polish to clean these up. I polished them in the same back and forth motion all around to prevent the "swirly" look.
Puuuurdy
This was irritating the hell out of me. It was some glue from when they back window was put it. I used a straight razor and some glass cleaner to get it off.
Another reason why I need to wash the car. I spent about 25 minutes on each wheel.

, so I had to do a ONR/water wipe on the entire car to remove whatever dust that was on it. It wasn't dirty really, just some shop dust on it, but the wheel wells were full of dirt. I scrubbed them with a brush before they took it to my work area because I didn't want to take a chance on making the car dusty... they're still very dirty but before they take it to the show they're going to clean them... I hope. Anyway, this car has a little more than 3,800 Km on so so yeah, there were some scratches on it. Also, the whole car was full of holograms left by the guys at the factory. After the car was eherm, washed... I clayed it with my ONR/water solution and removed some pretty caked on dirt and dust; there was a pretty thick layer of it. After that I taped off the car and did another walk around to hunt for RIDS. I didn't stop and take a picture of every one of them, because there were too many and I was fighting with the lighting conditions the whole time... I'm lucky I caught the ones I did on camera. Here's some before pictures:
