    hi there!

    well...finally i come to post this detail :)

    this was the object for two days in a row, a 456gt from 1994 with a good 55tkm on the clock. the bonnet got a respray. color is called "pozzi blue" which is singlestage. some parts got pretty deep scratches which couldnt be removed completely but given the amount of time i had for this car i'd say i achieved som 98% correction.

    rather than doin it the "old style" with uploading gazillion pictures i decided to put this detail on video (about 10 minutes long) and put it up on my .mac account :)

    enjoy :) :

    .Mac Web Gallery

    in total the video is something above 100mb so it might have to load once entirely before you can view without any interruptions :)

    used stuff in this detail were:

    wash:

    dodo born to be mild (i love this stuff!!)
    mixture of ssf and z7
    2bm
    zymöl sponge

    polish:

    nearly everything i had, from 3m to menzerna. in the end i stick to fc+ here and there, menz ip and both final finish polishes
    due to the fact there was no clearcoat on the paint i nearly ruined my entire pad stock :awesome:

    lsp:

    cf followed by
    sv crystal rock applied with a pad

    after applying the wax - which is as easy as applying butter, its just so soft. like destiny, vintage or supernatural - i led the car stand outside in the bare sun for about 3 hours, also this is recommended by swissvax. after that i gave the car a final buff. i must say that i havent seen anything as such before - the finish really gained even more clarity and wetness within/after these 3 hours (in the movie its called: "nach weiteren 3 stunden) which can also be seen in the video i think!

    cheers

    Excellent work. The video was easily worth the bandwidth even on my lowly DSL connection.
