Sneak peak of the latest project... full wetsand/ Ferrari 458 Italia

[Lone Wolf]

Can #20 be used on clearcoated rims?? Just wanted to make sure before I try it!!

 

[Lemonxxs]

Why not many put Klasse or Zaino on the wheels now.

 

[imported_Brad1]

Absolutely. I use it for that.

 

[Lone Wolf]

:up



Thanks guys!!

Lone Wolf- I use Meguiar's #20 on my stock winter rims. It does a great job. I can spray the hose on them and most of dirt comes off. It also makes them a little brighter. I use #20 instead of SG because I have so much of it left.

Sorry I haven't been around the last 5 days, I was stuck on my latest project. A quick sneak peak...

Terrible factory paint.

Two quick afters

(you can see the orange peel in still in the gas cap)

Couple of notes...

This was some of the hardest paint I have worked on and there was not a flat panel to be found. Basic process was to hand sand with 1500, then 2000 in a cross hatch, then finish with a DA and 3000 grit. Then break on the wool/rotary and start cutting, for a long time.

Good lord! You definitely had your hands full on that one Todd, but it looks great! :thumbup:

 

[imported_Kevin Brown]

Looking :spy: forward :cursing: to :doh: the \m/ write-up :drool5: !!!

:notworthy:

You where not kidding on the phone yesterday about not a flat panel to be found.

 

[PAR Detailing]

I cant wait for that write up

 

[imported_JSFM35X]

I would have loved to see the owners face as you began to sand. As the paint got dull did you ever think about saying OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!

Just crossed my mind!

 

[grungy]

What did they do, model the paint after the groves near PAC??:banghead::banghead:

 

[imported_kakeuter]

Wow, that was some project. Can't wait to drool over the write-up.

Great work.

How does a car like that come out of the factory with paint looking like that. You'd think when you are spending that kind of coin, everything should be perfect.
Looks awesome as usual from you Todd.:clap:
Can't wait to see the rest.

 

[Tru_Shine]

Zoooo Weeee MAMA!!! that is gonna look so good! I cant wait for the write up

 

[imported_juliom2]

orange peel????? we got to name another fruit for this one!!!
Im surprised it went out like that from factory.
No doubt this will be a very black one after Maestro Todd touch...

 

[imported_Brian_Brice]

Looks like one hell of a job, hope you didn't damage a rotator cuff sanding by hand.

 

[imported_Flash Gordon]

Looking :spy: forward :cursing: to :doh: the \m/ write-up :drool5: !!!

X 2 :Frosty:

 

[imported_RaskyR1]

WOW! So I take it that Ferrari was tired of getting all the bad publicity from delivering cars full of sanding marks and other defects that they opted to just leave them "as is" right from the paint booth?

So you spend $225K and that's what they send you huh? :toetap05:


Looking great so far Todd! Can't wait to see this finished pics! ancing Dot:
