    domino Welcome to Detailing

    wow that's amazing - if you're ever vacationing in Aus let me know!!

    how did you correct the original single stage paint without removing it? what pads/products?

    ive always wanted to have our F40 professionally polished but am concerned about getting a buff on it as the original paint is so thin in some spots you can see the kevlar weave under the paint - definitely not something i want to attempt myself

    even applying swissvax cleaner fluid turned the pad red so i started panic'ing

    There was some decent marring on the finish which required careful correction due to the thin paint over the carbon kevlar, but the majority of the time was spent on the Lexan rear engine cover.

    There were some RIDS that were not going anywhere.

    Wheels before, I did not have the opportunity to wash the car properly so I used the Auto Glym wheel cleaner and rinsed with my lowe pressure washer.
