    Got a chance to do this beautiful 2008 Rossa Corsa F430. Paint wasn't too bad but needed a two step correction. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Doing the interior tomorrow and will add to the write up later. The weather was shit today but tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's and sunny so I will have plenty of outside shots.

    Products used:

    Street Dreams Auto Bathe
    Street Dreams APC
    Street Dreams Perfect Chemistry wheel cleaner and iron remover
    Wolfgang Poly clay bar
    Street Dreams Speed Shine QD as clay lube
    M105/orange pad via Flex DA
    M205/blue pad via Flex DA
    Wolf's Chemical's Body Wrap
    Swissvax Onyx
    Cloud 9 carnauba wax
    Rejex paint selant (on wheels)
    Street Dreams Black Hole tire and trim dressing

    The car wasn't too dirty, some dried up wax in spots along with pollen and bugs
