Just a preview.

Did another with Sean today. More to follow.

Sean is a better photographer. After 177 pics I may as well throw the SD card out...

Carrera GT coming up soon also.

Couple of awesome ones...

why did you use different lighting for each pic? before looks to be with flash...after looks to be jsut an overhead light. cant really tell 100% the correction done without a consistent halogen lighting or camera flash!

it does look to be a huge difference tho....just saying you are taking away from it without 100% revealing the paint condition in the after pic!

I'd hire a photographer if it were worth it. Pictures just aren't my thing.

I have a Nikon D40, Nikon D90, and a Panasonic TZ-5. All of my shots are sub-par.

Sean's shots should be much better.

full shot of car looks great. heck.....to fork out the money for the high dollar nikons....pictures arent your thing? must have money to bloooow!

Awesome !!! Can't wait to see the full write up.

Thanks Pat.

We had only 6 hours, so just the exterior and engine could be done today. I'll pass by after work one night this week for the interior.

We hit it with Meguiars M105 (original diminishing formula) then Menzerna 85 via Makita rotary.

No clay was needed.

Washing was minimal.

Factory wheels are going back on tomorrow.

There is a custom hand-made Capristo exhaust in there that needed quite a bit of hand polishing. The exhaust is a work of art, and sounds to match.

LSP was Swissvax Concorso. I still have two left and want to use it up. Fortunately, the owner prefers carnauba waxes for his collectibles.

We both have been spending a lot of time with Glasurit's Rosso Corsa lately. I think we have it dialed in. The garage floor looks like a crime scene when you are finished polishing. We both commented on the difference between polishing it on a Carbon Kevlar substrate vs sheet metal. Carbon Kevlar is a dream to work with.

this guy doesn't need lighting to prove his work, do a search for his previous posts and you'll understand

Very nice Justin! Is this in the same collection as the F40?

jdoria · 10-05-09, 06:02

Thanks Todd - Yes, this is the same collection.

Sorry - A Challenge Stradale is next on the block.

I was not aware that M105 was ever a diminishing abrasive?

Wasnt that that the difference of the "old" formula that was rotary specific?

The "new" M105 was made with non-diminishing abrasives that woked better with the D/A.

I'm thinking it's vice versa.
