Team Adam's Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Two vintage Ferrari's in one weekend? Sure! Why not!! This detail was done at the same time as the 365 GTB4 Daytona. We bounced between cars at various points to maximize efficiency and keep from stepping on each other. SUMMARY: The owner has raced this car in a couple of road races and drives it a few times a month so it had a fair amount of 'use' on it, but nothing terrible. The goal was just an overall cleanup, light swirl removal, enhancement and protection. Aside from pretty typical swirling there wasn't any major issues, especially when you consider this car has seen road racing use. PROCESS: Waterless Wash to remove dust Clayed using Claybar & DS Wiped again with WW and fresh WW towels Spot treated a few areas with SSR / Green Pad / Flex @ setting 6 1 passes per panel of SHR / Orange Pad / Flex @ setting 5 1-2 passes per panel of FMP / White Pad / PC @ setting 5 4" pads were used on the PC to correct tight spots Paint/Glass treated with Brilliant Glaze 2 coats of Americana Paste Wax Interior vacuumed w/ Metro 500 Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner and Glass Towel Wheels polished by hand using Revive Polish & MF applicator Wheels sealed w/ beta test Speed Sealant Tires & trim treated with SVRT Engine bay wiped down with Untility Towel & Waterless Wash No engine dressing per customer request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samers Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Dylan, I noticed you used the PC for applying FMP on both of these Ferraris. Do you find the PC does a better job than the Flex when applying FMP? BTW, outstanding results as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find the PC does a better job than the Flex when applying FMP? BTW, outstanding results as usual No, its actually b/c we were working tandem. I'd start and get a couple panels ahead and Anthony would chase me with the PC. We had 1 flex and 2 PC's at our disposal... rather than waste time with only one of us polishing it made sense to make the flex do the 'grunt work' then allow the PC to come in behind and cleanup. If we had 2 flexes we'd have likely gone that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 thats gorgeous! reminds me of the convertible in Feris Bueller's Day Off! Its funny you say that b/c I thought it might have been the same model, just a vert... but I looked it up when I got home and turns out it was the predecessor to this car, the 250 California. The whole time we were working on it this kept going thru my head: <iframe width="853" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_S7AyiVfNdA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
