From an ugly Ferrari to a beautiful Ferrari
Story
This thing was hammered! Period.
I have never seen a Ferrari so swirled, etched, and in need of some love. I have never gotten so aggressive with Ferrari paint. It took 2 passes with a Shegal (sp) twisted wool pad at 2000 rpm to remove the heavier marring from the soft paint. This was followed by either a Shegal fine wool or
Lake Country twisted wool pad with
Menzerna SIP, and finally finished by
Menzerna 106ff on a
Lake Country white pull...
Okay, the befores...
Some of the upper sections where a little pink and had such bad swirling that I couldn't focus the camera (even when manually focused it wouldn't pic up).
50/50's
I found out that the car was repainted, a long time ago, when the orginal owners changed the color from blue to red. It was clear coated, but the paint was still very soft and that paint was pushing 15 years old.

Passenger side of the roof... You can see that driver side had been done already
Passenger side of the roof after two passes with the twisted wool and
Menzerna Power Gloss at 1800-2000 rpm. The swirls are reduced, but there is defined hologramming
A pass of Menzerna SIP on a LC purple wool pad reduced the deeper marring and hologramming of the Wool/PowerGloss and finished the surface down nicely. Considering that this was 15 year old paint on a 27 year old car, I did not want to cut any further.
106ff on a White
CCS pad finished the polish by removing the fine marring on the surface
Refelection of the polished hood (no lsp)
So we went from this...
to this
The rear decklid was even worse and could not be finished down as nice as the rest of the car...
