Ferrari 360 CS detailed x2

[Jayplay]

Hi Guys, thanks for taking the time to read another thread from us. (Last one)

Wheels were removed and then cleaned and sealed along with the arches having a good clean.

Engine bay was not looking its best

All carbon fiber was removed and polished and then sealed with GTechniq.
Few shots below showing the difference made (left untouched/right polished and sealed)

Exhaust box polished with Autosol and then sealed with Blackfire Metal Sealant

Engine bay now looking alot better

There was a fair amount of dirt between the plastic engine cover and the carbon fiber support braces so these were removed and polished with Jeffs Strong. Plastic was cleaned before refitting the braces

Few "before and afters" during the paint correction process

Paint work refined and then Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied/removed and then a coat of Swissvax Best of Show was applied. This was left to cure whilst the interior was given a good clean.

Thanks for looking

Usual wash and decontamination stages were carried out but didnt photograph these stages.

So starting with the engine bay

The carbon fiber was removed from the engine bay and given a light polish, I then dressed all hoses etc with swissvax Pneu and then polished the exhaust box

I found the paint on this to very "grabby/sticky" so instead of fighting with it using the rotary I used my DAS-6 PRO Dual Action Polisher. For the compounding stages I used Menz 3.02 on a LC Hydo Cyan pad.

After each hit I made sure I gave the panel a thorough IPA wipe down to ensure I was getting "true correction".

Few "before & after's" shots before the paint being refined.

Tighter areas's such as bumpers and air intakes cut in with 4in pad

Inside the door jambs were also corrected

The carbon fiber wing mirrors suffered from some swirling so these were corrected using Menz 203s

Once all the heavy polishing was complete I then refined the finish with Menz 106FA which added a tremendous amount of gloss and clarity to the paint.

Once all of the polishing stages were done the smaller details were attended too such as the removal of polishing dust from every crack and crevice, polish residue removed from around badges and paint protection film, exhaust tips polished and sealed, sealing the wheels and dressing the tyres, protecting the rear diffuser and lastly appying a coat of a Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant to all paintwork.

Once the exterior was complete I concentrated on the interior - this consisted of first polishing all the carbon fiber and then protecting this with a layer of Swissvax Best of Show. Once this was complete I then gave the interior a good vacuum and then cleaned the alcantera with Raceglaze Alcantera Cleaner

The following day I applied a coat of Swissvax Divne on top of the Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant that was applied the day before.

And the end result....

Thanks for taking the time to view the thread.

Fantastic cars, fantastic work.

That Carbon came up really nice with GTechniq.

There has always been something about a Scud that really excites me. Great job as always Jay.
