Ferrari F430 Spider F1

[playsuit]

Here is red Ferrari F430 Spider. Before I washed this vehicle it was looking pretty good but after a wash and Claying trueth came out. Full of small swirls and few deep scrathes.



This is what I did:

Wash with Würth Pineline to get old wax off

Wash with Zaino Z-7

Zaino Z-18 ClayBar

Wash with Zaino Z-7



Cause it has very soft clearcoat I used Cyclo with soft pads just to make sure no harm will be done. On back quarter I hade to use Würth PC with Lake country white cutting pad cause it was in bad shape. Just few pases and it was OK.

Zaino Z-PC

Zaino Z-5 Pro + Zaino Z-2 + ZFX combo

Quite a process. What is the benefit of mixing Z-2 and Z-5?



It hurts me to see that cover on it after all of that work.

WOW! Looks good man!



Great process! I wanted to do something similar but i realized my overhead was probably going to be like a quarter more.

Nice work, but did the swirls come out?? you have before pics with hologens showing swirls but then after pics with no hologens??:nixweiss

 

[playsuit]

Yes it is swirl free now but there are few scrathes witch were quite deep and sharp (3rd pic above). Like I wrote above I hade no courace to cut deeper cause I have no paint depth meter.



I took hologens off for cooling cause I hade to leave to next place. I still have do some prep for that Ferrari cause battery was low and roof could not be opened.



2. day was far to busy, I hade no time for photos, but I will take some new pics next time.



Z-2 + Z-5 combo gives more depth, you need to do some testing



EDIT: Here are some photos with bigger lights but color looks like more orage than red

How did you mix? 50% z2+ 50% z5+ a few drops of zfx?

 

[Labster]

aren't you worried about the sealant not being able to fully cure if the cover goes back on it without some time for it cure?

 

[playsuit]

Cover is very soft and made of cotton so it has air between fabric and paint. It has time for cure for months cause it is snowing outside.

That paint is amazing, excellent job with the detailing, did you use a random orbital buffer or did you seal it all by hand?

 

[playsuit]

Allways by hand

 

[havabooz]

good to know zaino finally made z-pc to take care of swirls...is it meant to be used as sparingly as their sealants??...for example, how long do you spend on a panel before the z-pc breaks down and does its job...



thanks

Looks great. :bow



I'd love to see some outside pics.

No answer to that?

Glad to hear it, I dont quite trust orbitals, even one bit of dirt will DESTROY your paint.

Then keep the pad clean! Haha



Orbitals are the safest way to "buff" your paint.

No kiddin' a spec of dirt is just as likely to get inbetween your hand polishing tool and the paint as it would your da.



Looks nice though.

Realistically though, with all the hundreds of people on here that use machines, how often you you every hear about that happening?

^^ True, I just prefer not to use them, perhaps by superstition, the times i have used one however, it didnt hurt anything.
