Innovative Detailing performs its "Platinum Detail" 4-step paint correction process on this seriously scratched 97 Ferrari 355 Spyder. Under the proper lighting before I started it looked as if the vehicle had been washed with a brillow pad. The finished results were spectacular as I rotary cut/polished the vehicle 1x with Meguiar's & LC pads and M105 then rotary polished with Meguir's & LC pads & M205. Then D/A polished the vehicle with LC white pad and M205 followed with a thorough application with D/A and LC blue pad with Meguiar's Gold Class liquid wax........

Great work man! Quick question...I've always been taught to polish at a speed of 3-4 inches per second. Low speed, slow movement. But I see you are flying across that paint.....explain? Just trying to learn more here.

Thank you much....The paint was extremely thin and I did not want to take any chances of going thru the clear cloat. The owner showed me a couple of spots that had been buffed thru by the previous detailer. By jeweling the paint with that pad and product, I was able to achieve the results I was looking for at 1800rpm.

Sure depending on the vehicle, paints age and condition, the type of pad or product being used, settings can be adjusted accordingly.



Hard to explain, been doing it for so many years...its just the way it works.....
