Just a regular guy
Pininfarina did an amazing job designing this vehicle. It is gorgeous and looks good from every angle, truely a work of art. Of course a Ferrari F430 dervived 400 horsepower V-8 doesn't hurt either!!!
I apologize for the lack of before or during photos. I was rushed because the customer was picking the car up and I only had about 3 1/2 hours to work on it, so I couldn't take photos. I kept thinking if Darth Vader had a car, this would be it. Also, the owner had installed a Tubi exhaust on this thing so it roared like a Ferrari racecar.
General Process
Wash with ONR (thanks Joshpta for turning me on to this), 2 bucket method.
Stoner's IG on Glass
Meg's Hotshine on tires
Meg's Hyperdressing 3:1 in wheelwells, engine compartment
Z10 on leather surfaces (entire interior pretty much)
Meg's NXT All Metal Polysh on Tubi Exhaust.
Paint/LSP
Menzerna 106ff (thanks gmblack3a) @ 1000 rpm with Meg's finishing pad
Z5pro X 2 (Zfx'ed) with Z6 wipedown after each coat
Z2rpo
CS (on rims also)
Z8 final wipe
Okay the only before/after photo I have.
Before
After
Okay massive after shots (I finished on time and after the owner saw the car he was so blown away that he let me take tons of photos).
Check this out!!!! A Ferrari 250GT Califorina (think Ferris Buehler)!!!!!! (I gave is a Z6/Z8 wipedown for now, but its pretty swirled, so this may be in the adgenda)
Infront of Auto Sport (the service center/showroom I am working with)
