Father's Day Detail

[Vadar]

I've had my PC (7336 from Lowes) for a couple months, but just haven't had the time to use it. So, finally, I spent a good chunk of Father's day detailing my 1975 Ferrari 308 GT4 (with a little help from my 2 y.o. daughter).



Wash (dawn)

Clay (Mother's Clay bar)

DACP (TOL Yellow Pad)

S100 SEC (TOL White Pad)

Mother's Sealant/Glaze (TOL White Pad)

S100 by Hand



Towels: Microfibers from Wallmart. Yes, they passed the CD test, so I deemed them worthy of the paint finish.



I've got to say, the PC really wore my out when using the DACP. But, great results. The paint job on this car is over 20 years old, and I think the PC, yellow pad, and DACP did a pretty good job. There are lots of imperfections in the paint, but it's probably a rotary requirement. But for now, I'm happy.



Here are some photos:

Here is the requisite reflection photo:

Here's another view.

By the way, I should point out:



The bottom half of the car is a flat black paint (i.e, not reflective). I did not use DACP on the bottom half, but did do everything else (S100 SEC, Mother's Glaze, Wax).

Awesome job Dom! It's hard to believe that the paint is 20 years old.

Why am I not surprised at the beauty of that shine upon discovering that you had used S100? S100 = Da Bomb!



Nice work.
