Thanks Apollo! I was actually emailing both clients today about a return trip. Looks like the 512bbi from the one client and the other is still pondering which one will be next. I too hope its the roadster.

Thank you very much Barry! I already have 2 rotaries on pad spinning duty, a Makita and small flex. I think I am about ready to sell the Mikata, I think I only used it on 10 cars.

8-10 orange w/ M105 and 3-4 black with M205. If I am working at home, I usually have my lovely wife wash orange pads for me. I spin them out w a rotary and place them in front of the airmovers (fans) and they are dry in an hour or less.

Re: Finally full writeups on the two Ferrari's I did a while back
Friggin amazing work on 2 sweet F-Cars. Did the black single stage finally wash out of your white pads? All my white pads look like orange ones after the last red F-Car I did. I power washed them 3 times and color is still coming out while I use them. I can't wait to see the writes-ups on the others.

Re: Finally full writeups on the two Ferrari's I did a while back
Nice work Bryan, its weird seeing you go away from your wool polishing pads now to KBM but never the less it works great! I just got my pcxp today too, so i'll try it out this weekend. How come you elected to use m205 instead of menzerna? Anything specific or is the Meguiars the choice now? The reason I'm asking is because i'm running low on 106fa (i had a gallon) and was wondering if i should get another.

Re: Finally full writeups on the two Ferrari's I did a while back
Top notch work as always, Bryan!!
Looks like a nice little collection of cars!
Both cars look amazing. Great work!!
Do you have an air compressor that you bring on the mobile jobs? If you do, try blowing the pads dry with compressed air while spinning off the pads with the rotary, paying special attention to the edges.

+1. I'd do some mighty mean things to get my childhood dream car!
stunning work though bro, that black 308 looks absolutely timeless. I've always liked those, and despite my love for red, it's nice to see a Ferrari in a color other than red, and not a hide-all-defects color like silver or yellow.
More outstanding work and you're one of the guys on the boards that I love seeing what you'll come out with next: always good work and always beautiful rides

Thanks David! I usually soak them in a bucket of 2-3 oz of APC and water for a few days. I get most of it out, but the white pads still have a tint.

Thank you Sam! I have not touched menzerna, a wool pad or rotary since the first of the year. I just sold off 90% of my menzerna, I kept some 085rd.  I just find that w/ the KBM I can do what I did with a rotary in the same time or less. Also after using M105/205 this year and doing many straight IPA wipedowns on various cars, I am confident that nothing will come back.

Thank you Rick! I don't have one for the road, but will try that trick at home. Thanks for the tip!

Re: Finally full writeups on the two Ferrari's I did a while back
The cars look awesome. Something about the 80's Ferrari's that will always have a place in my heart. Those and the old Lambo's.
Awesome work on cars. Did the massive amounts of Flourecent lights make it hard to see the correction that was needed?
