This car is timeless in it's styling, and when this car was in it's production cycle I worked on quite a few and loved every job(Ferrari paint was thin on these but NO sand scratches in those days at least).
The owner of this car is not one of my uber wealthy guys and saved for a long time for this particular car and came over at his lunch time to watch me work on his baby for the two days it was in the shop.
The top and trim were in excellent shape as it was kept in a climate controlled garage in the midwest.
The beginning..........
Crusty wheels and tires
Wheel wells
Little bit of an insect issue
After a thorough wash I cleaned the top with a citrus cleaner
Here was a nice scratch on the rear bumper
Hit the scratch with 2500, then 3000 grit to level the defect
Corrected nicely with just a dab of touch up needed on the end of the scratch
This was one of the re-sprayed panels and it was hazy from shrinkage
After wool correction the panel has more clarity
This part of the engine cover needed air sanding to level out the defects
After wool correction
After intermediate polishing with Menz 106FA
Close up pic of contrast of corrected and marred finish 50/50
50/50 pic after wool correction
After foam polishing
After jewelling stage
Spent quite a bit of time fine jewelling with Menz 87MC
The results of that effort
Clean wheels and wheel wells
Broke out the steamer to clean the fuel filler cap of left over compound residue from the re-spray
