Super work guys! Nothing short of wow as usual!



The new P21 looks awesome on red!



Question - when you clean your pads from a SS detail, does the paint transfer wash out?

 

[Todd@RUPES]

Excellenta work gentlemen!



Any pics outside after polishing?

Thanks Bryan! A couple

looks like your liking that new 100% p21S carnauba! Your work is top notch, Iam definitely in awe.

For a wax (which I enjoy, I am an ethusist first and foremost) its really great. I love the look. Thanks for the compliments carbon, and you cannot have my yellow pad!!!

No seriously, you guys kick ***.



Keep up the hard work, I am sure it is paying off!

Thanks MartinD!

Love the work, love the car, love the color!

Muchas Gracias

Nice work again. You guys do great work, no question.

Thanks Josh, give me a call today. Yesterday was kind of crazy (today might be as well).

Excellent job Todd!



It takes lots of talent and paint knowledge to work on older paint like that. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Ryan, comming from the polishing master that means a lot. Hopefully I can get you down here to raise the bar even further!

The paint absolutely pops. Amazing work.

Thanks!!!

I love that car and you made it look incredible.



How do you handle the lower black panels? I imagine you use a different process and/or products than what you use on the red paint.

I previously polished the lower panels with ZAIO and PC. AIO's are very good for flat paint as they clean it and seal it, and add only a light sheen.

for the age of that car it looks amazing. keep up the good work

Thanks! Age doesn't matter when you're Bella Macchina..

Bravo.....

I believe the word you where looking for was Bellisimo, but I'll forgive you. Give me a call today Pat if you have the time!

Looks great, as usual. Are you becoming more of a wax fan than a sealant fan these days? I've seen you using that P21S 100 percent on a couple threads now and I was wondering if it's customer request or if you're just like me and got a new product that you're just trying to get a feel for. Reguardless, all the details you post always look great. I do my best to view them all, but I dont post on every one because I run out of stuff to say.

I appericate waxes. My goal is to give my client's what they want and in Florida a sealant makes sense, and IMO, Zaino is the best sealant. I also have clients who ask me to try something different or prefer 'nuba's so I do my best to make each client happy. Thanks for the compliments

a re ferrari go figure. excellent job AGAIN. there's nothing like seeing the result of someones work whose passionate about what they do.

Sorry for boring you with yet another red Ferrari. Jeeze!

Ive said it all in other threads... ile say it again though... you guys are my heros and the best detailers in the world lol.

Thanks.... lol. I don't know about the best in the world, but I definetly have been very lucky to have clients who appericate good work.

Awesome work Todd and Bryan!



Nothings better than gleaming single stage Ferrari red!



How many miles are on the car?

Thanks Rick! I think it has about 35K or so... (maybe a little more).

 

[Todd@RUPES]

Amazing work as usual guys. I know what to expect when I see your C&B but I can't help but look! Great way to start my day with my starbucks while I'm sitting in class...

Thanks Labster. LOL, maybe you should pay attention in class? LOL.

Thanks kaval!



The paint will rinse out for the most part, but there will be light staining...

 

[Slik560]

Eccelente! Lavoro ottimo!!! :heelclick



Il lavoro che ha fatto sulla macchina è valso bene il risultato. :waxing:

 

[Labster]

Thanks Labster. LOL, maybe you should pay attention in class? LOL.

Probably should but I'm just a TA in the class so I'm basically just there to take attendance BTW, I'll be down in Orlando for a couple of days the 2nd week of March. If you wanna grab a drink let me know.

 

[Todd@RUPES]

Grazie. Il lavoro è stato divertente e le sue parole sono gentili! Lei parla italiano?

I think Pats300ZX is going to be in town, we will all have to get a drink (before I put you guys to work!).

 

[Slik560]

A co-worker helped me with a little Italiano to post an appropriate comment about your efforts on the "Modena Maccchina". I admit that I do not speak the language.



I know enough German to talk to the service people at the dealership, but that's that's the extent of my global vocabulary.

 

[imported_Detailing Technology]

Nice work. Interesting, I have never seen a 328 in full two-tone. I thought it was a BB512 from a quick glance.

 

[AAP]

I really need to learn how to do this like you ... your work is awesome

 

[kaval]

Thanks for answering my question Todd

 

[Labster]

Haha, I'll actually be doing a few cars in the St. Augustine/Jacksonville area. Last time around I did my friend's mom's Prius and the doctors at the Mayo Clinic saw it and want me to do some work. Can't argue with a free vacation even if it does cost me a day or two of work ya know?

 

[Raz5219]

Great work..I love 328's..reminds me of my childhood and the start of my car infactuation.



Do you have any pics of the engine?

 

[Carbon Blue]

Thanks Bryan! A couple

:laugh: it was worth a try!

I think the two tone looks better on the 3x8's as compared most of the boxer's. Thanks for the compliments!

I really need to learn how to do this like you ... your work is awesome

Thanks APP, appericate it!

Thanks for answering my question Todd

Thanks for asking kaval! Hope I helped!

Thanks Labster, we need to get together for sure! Don't work to hard

Sorry no pics of the engine, thanks for the compliments though:bigups

it was worth a try!

Keep trying :spot

 

[Superior Shine]

SWEET WORK.



I am bummed I missed you at the MTE in Tampa. Man there where a lot of people to meet!!

 

[GatorFL]

This is my car. I've had Todd detailing it for about a year now, it always looks amazing when he's done with it. :goodjob :goodjob :goodjob Of course, he's got Bryan doing the real work as I see from the video! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:



The car is a 1986 Ferrari 328. Paint is original, the satin black at the bottom is factory Boxer trim. Only 12 328's came over that way from the factory, it's a rare paint scheme.



As Todd said I had a recent trip to the shop where they weren't too careful and so the car needed to be resanded again. Unfortunately I have to send the car back to the shop for an adjustment, hopefully they will be careful.



I am going to have the interior redone in a couple of months, after that Todd ought to be able to show off some nice pics of the inside. It's not bad now but I am seeking perfection. In the future there is a 550/575/TR in the cards, I've got the 12 cylinder bug now.



These guys are the best and I am proud to show off their work. If anybody needs a concours-level detail I highly recommend Todd and Bryan!

 

[imported_Puckman]

Todd or Brian - what was the highest speed setting Brian used in the video clip? And was it 106FF (sorry if I missed it previously mentioned).



Thanks.

 

[SilverLexus]

Nice work Todd. How do you like the 100% P21S? Been thinking of trying it. Does it look as good as Souveran in person? Is it decently durable for a carnauba?

 

[jpochile]

Hi Todd :







Like always your work is out of this world :woot: :woot: . It was very nice meeting you last week in Orlando . You are one of the most talented detailers out there and a terrific person . Thanks for the Zaino products :thx . I have not use them yet but looking forward to the Zaino line .





You are more than welcome to come to my house here in Chile . I hope to see around here you soon .





Cheers , Jean Paul



PS : I played a few days ago with the Makita BO6040 and it is a really nice tool .
