Ferrari F430 Welcome on board [align=center][/align] Let's go for a trippin' in F430 Car not too dirty, but just many dust... Too difficult to wash in my exterior garage due to a F1 throttle, i have just remove dust with #34. And pass the clay just after Rims need a big washing : With Meguiars All purpose Cleaner and long brush Stay, road grim, and tar Need AG intensif tar remover too And protection with Swissvax Autobahn Result : F430 cleaned, time to start with my Rupes machine. After, testing of many combos, the choice was difficult... not too many swirls, but a little deep, and very hard paint !!! Thickness awesome... So need to take Poorboy SS2.5 for 75% of the car, and sometime 3M fast cut compound Problems : Megs 80 and finishing pad for finition Not always happy of the finition, due to stone chips. Stone chip let mark when polish pass on So i use 3M Ultra fina 3M 3.5" pad were great ! Door panel : Correction : after Correction : Rear wings, were not too swirled, so just cutting pad and 83, and many patience, give me a great result other part : take 50/50 in photo is vry difficult on this colour... But in the rear of the car, there is more swirls... need wool pad and PB SSR2.5 with little 3M compound Light pass on rear lights (i love it, Pininfarina is a god !!) Same things with other rear wings : 83 and cutting Other rear parts with problems, need my new Abralon Mirka P4000 with G220 I have spray the P4000 pad, with shampon mixe with water, and pass it whe dry : correction SS2.5 and cutting 3.5" other part : after few parts of the car, have not been traited due to that : Un film type 3M, que l'on pose pour protéger des éclats et autres rayures. Roadblock. Owner would be a little work on the Engine, which have his red parts turn to black red... So i cant use water or solvants in quantity in his precious engine, so just put Megs Super degreaser in AG brush, and work with it : We can see difference : left ok, right dirty Interior engine plastic were protect with Megs all season dressing New look trim gel on exterior plastic windows For LSP, i have use Jetseal 109, which i discover for first time, and i was in heaven of the result !!! : Résultat : Swissvax Scuderia for last : Application : Résult : NB : who have say, luggage place of a Ferrari is too little ? i find the place perfect thanks for reading, and sorry for my english (i'm french)
