Red F355 Correction

Just curious, how long were you spending on each panel to allow the polish to break down with the megs cutting pad? Also what speed settings were you working with? I have the same car with very similar issues and I want to see what worked good for you. Thank you!

Not sure I could really pinpoint how long each panel took, as each are usually takes whatever is needed for the marring, like the hood and other horizontal area's taking longer because the damage can be deeper if it's been washed with a dirty sponge and someones pushed down on it. Same goes for each car being different, paint could be slightly harder/softer, or the damage will be different, even on he same model.

It's usually cut through quite quick with a cutting pad, just when the polished acts and looks worked, then it is.

I was working with the cutting pad at several speeds, starting slow, building to a peak and finishing slow. maybe starting around 700, then 1800, then finishing 800 lifting pressure towards the end to lighten cutting and reduce the depth of micro marking by the pad - and lifting the finish.
 
Awesome job car looks sweet but.........



WHAT IN THE NAME OF MICKEY MOUSE IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?? :confused:

If I, as a PRO DETAILER/business owner, did that here in California, USA, and allowed all that to run all over the place, I would be given the electric chair after I was beat'n for a 1/2 hour.



Again sweet job and the f-car!!
 
Most likely to soften up the grime and whatever else is on the paint making it easier to wash off.



Car looks great! By far one of my fav Ferraris

Seems like I am getting very similar cars over her in New Jersey to work on. I do appreciate your time in providing the information that you have. I will try to replicate what you have indicated being your method and see what results I am able to yield. Thank you again!:spot

We can still do that over here, just about.:D

helps grip loose dirt and grit and helps get a better rinse/remove more before contact washing with the mit.
