BTW, that Ferrari looks amazing as all your work always does. | Honestly, It's probably the easiest metal polish I have ever used. It works unbelievable on aluminum. Typically other aluminum polishes are a pain to wipe off the black haze after polishing, but this stuff just wipes off just like wax. My buddy has his CDL license and uses this stuff on the aluminum tanks & wheels on his triaxle dump truck that is probably one of the cleanest trucks around. He got me hooked on this stuff and haven't felt the need to try anything else because it is so easy to use. You should try some. You will not be disappointed. Here is the link http://wickedproducts.com/wickedshop/scripts/
For trimming the 3M, I conned my 3M guy into giving up one of his tools to cut the plastic without damaging the paint underneath. The tool has a setting so the sharp blade will not go completely through the plastic and damage the paint. I would not attempt to do this with a razorblade unless you are exteremely careful. | |

Simply stunning work on a stunning car. Its almost my dream car, take the same color combo and put it on an F355 Spyder something about the design of the 355 really gets me. I love most Ferraris though, except for the 612 yuck.

I'm curious as to why you went straight to P21S and did not use a sealant ? | |

I just LOVE yellow paint on a sports car. Yellow on an Aztec looks awesome too (LOL -JK).
How long until the owner washes her down again with SOS pads? | |
