    I could not wait to get my hands on my clients 2 new Ferrari s. ! being a brand new 458 Italia and the other being the limited edition 599 GTO. I have done his classic porches for awhile now I expected these cars to be no different. To my surprise they were. Straight from the dealership they buffer swirls, the Black 458 being the most hammered. The typical sanding marks were also present on both. Unfortunately my camara decided to act up for the before of the 458. I do have the afters and I will post them at a later time. I do have all the pics from the 599. The 599 also had light oxidation



    I started with a basic wash with a non glossy soap because of the Matte finish on the roof and mirrors

    Clay- Gloss it green
    Menzerna SIP
    Orange LC foam 5.5" light cut pad
    Menzerna SF
    White LC foam 5.5" Polish pad
    Menzerna SF
    Black LC 5.5" finishing pad
    Zymol Atlantique by hand
    Swisswax Opaque by hand

    303 Aerospace
    Glossit tire dressing

    Finish Kare 2180


    It was difficult to get the imperfections on camera

    Over 2 hours of masking. Didn't want anything on the Matte paint
