Recently completed, this was one of the first jobs completed after returning from SEMA in Las Vegas. I had help from "The Bing" on this car and others this week, as the vehicle was "Brand new" some parts of the car were in pretty good condition and other parts(Gloss black wheels for example) were not in good shape due to improper care.



This car is special and the color not being "Rosso Corso" made this rare vehicle more so, here is the beginning of the job.

Wheels with Sonax FE doing it's thing.

Richie cleaning the wheels..............wearing a "Hoodie" as he is used to "tropical climates" in Orlando and San Francisco was a little cold for him.

Foaming the car down during wash step.

As the garage is tight, the client had a "Boo boo" which he wanted to see what improvement could be made, I was able to improve the appearance but 100% correction was not possible as the scuff was too deep.

Taking some readings to see how much I had to work with..

I was able to remove the sheetrock transfer, but the scuff dug into the paint. Much better until a re-spray from Brooksmotorcars can be completed.

Vehicle being silver the defects were hard to capture, but on the black stripe areas the marring was more clear to see.

The OE wheels on this car are one of my favorites (BBS Fi) which are very light and strong, and @ $2,750.00 in 20' inch configuration not for the "thrifty man" lol.

There was a smal but deep chip in the door(Drivers side) that I buzzed with 3000 grit to smooth the edges of the chip and when the paint is mixed up I can come back carefully touch up the chip.

Compounded smooth.

Wax from the dealership in the edge of the clearfilm.

Removed.

The finish looked "Shrunk down" and hazy which can be seen in the halogen light reflection.

Reflection of the halogen light is now clear and sharp after compounding the finish.

Marring on the mirror.

Holy smokes, that is one sweet ride and you did a great correction. Bummer about him tapping the garage but you fixed it up really well. Love the cockpit on these F cars.
 
599 all time favourite! Curvy, gadgety, fast and practical. The daily supercar.



Excellent work and pics. Love the mf used while leaning on the paint to protect the paint (I am hypothesizing). Should be SOP for all.
