Next was a Ferrari 360 Modena that had some isolated bug etchings.

I sanded them away with 3000 grit Megs then compouned with Menzerna PG with a LC purple foam wool pad.

Then Menzerna IP @ 1500 rpm followed by Menzerna 106ff on a white pad

Great work on all of them, very impressive.

What an impressive collection of cars. They all look 200% better!

It takes confidence to wet-spot sand an exotic, and you nailed it.

The engine bay on the Subaru looks exceptionally clean and tastefully dressed.

I could go on, and on........

You do great work -I can't wait for the next wave of details from you.

Very nice work Todd!

As John said I'd pass on wetsanding the F-car too, but heck its just paint right?

[HenrikP]

How did the Maserati go? Any trouble spots, etc.?
