They have a pretty good deal on the concours kit I believe over at CMA. Last time I checked it was like $34.95..

[Jngrbrdman]

I just had one that ended last month. It will probably be a few more months before I get another one orgainzed. If someone else wants to give it a go then more power to ya. :xyxthumbs

Seeing as how you live in Fullerton, just thought I`d tell you that Long Beach BMW carries the Klasse twins; 15$ for the SG, and $17 for the AIO.

Recently completed, the vehicle is one of my favorite cars of all time......as I fit easily(Compared to a 355 etc..) and the look is classic with big power and unique as to see one on the road or a current model 599 is rare.

More rare is the color (Grigio Ingrid/sabbia) as I had a client with a 599 in (Grigio Ingrid/brown) and that client to this day kicks himself for selling that car.

The vehicle had not been corrected in quite a long time and it showed some "Patina", thus a thorough decon/clay was needed, along with a light compound on most of the vehicle and some aggressive correction on other body panels.

As the car arrived....

Heavy overspray on the left front side of the car(Customer would later own up to using black spray paint in the vicinity lol).

Scratches in a place you least want them, on the thin crease of the fender.

Right side mirror housing also had "Wax" applied to it, so cleaning was required to bring back the correct matte finish.

Unknown substance on the carpet for who knows how long(Dry & crusty).

Loosened it with steam and sanitized the area as well.

Some fine brush work into the crevices.

This pic shows the slight diffused sheen of the dressing as opposed to "Greasy/shiny".

Incredible work Bob, I don`t think I`ve even seen that color before.

Transformation!!!!!!!!
:wizard:

[mikenap]

Great work Bob. More water spots for you to fix, huh? Does the Mark V work on the spotted rubber trim as well, or is that trim plastic? Either way, "tightness" was definitely restored to a Ferrari that doesn`t look to be a garage queen.\m/

Yes it does.

[imported_JSFM35X]

Bob,

I have never seen that color before. Great save! Did you use the Mark V on the trim to remove the wax as well?

Car (and Shop) look great. Must be getting really warm in Cali by now. We are starting to get really hot out here now.

[Street Dreams]

Straight 90`s ballin. Love it, nice work!

[Todd@RUPES]

100% agree on the 550!!!! :clap: To me it is the modern interpration of the gorgeous GT Ferrari`s of the 50`s, early 60`s. Big V12, front engine, awesome sound, classy interior, etc...

The work carried out on it was equally great, thank you for sharing Bob!

[bmw5541]

Awesome work as usual Bob.
Very unusual color for a Ferrari.

[CarbonCrew]

Stunning work. The 550 is my favorite Ferrari of all time.
