Ferrari Daytona vs. Mk II BigFoot!

[rlmccarty2000]

Fantastic work and write up. I have the 21, 15, and 75 and am happy with the correction I can achieve. On the Mark II machines does speed setting 4 equal 6 on the old machines? Also, with today's compounds and polishes with their abrasion power is their really a need for a 30 percent increase in machine power?

So good.

After wiping off the polish I was greeted with a stunning finish.
I decided to use BLACKFIRE’s amazing BlackICE montan wax (A wax I helped to design as the Director of Development for BLACKFIRE in a previous life).

Gotta love BlackICE on pure black paint!

You know it's going to be a good day when you start with a cup of coffee and a Ferrari detail write-up by Todd@RUPES

Great shots with a beautiful car.

p.s. "colpo di frusta" is whiplash in Italian.

:RUPES

Grazie mille mio amico!

Wow. All I can say is Wow. Now I've gotta get a Mk II Bigfoot...



Ps - I like how you kept repositioning the Rupes banners too. Nice subtle detail

Ty ty! I agree, everybody needs a Mark II!

Amazing work Todd! Everything about this car is just amazing. Hopefully we see more details like this in the future!

Thanks. I have been having the detailing "bug" more and more

Good to see a detail post from you Todd. They have been missed. Excellent work my friend.

Thank you my old friend!

Thank you Jerry!

Excellent question. I have found the power of the first generation tools to be more than adequate to correct most finishes. The enhanced power will now make it easier for people in bodyshops to polish out 1500 grit scratches (more like 1000 with the lack of technique in that world). Additionally, the tool will maintain pad rotation on tight concaves which will help with the versatility. The new tool is actually more powerful on speed 4 (similar RPM with more torque) than the original on speed 6. I agree that the added power is not needed, but will benefit many.

So good.

Thank you!

WOW!!! such an amazing machine!! i want... lol!

The Ferrari or the BigFoot. You cannot go wrong either ways!

Simply OUTSTANDING!!!

Congrats!

Thanks buddy!

Gotta love BlackICE on pure black paint!

Agreed!

So does Zephir gloss contain mostly smat abrasives since you can contiune its working cycle with water?

Great work btw
