F-car detail *with professional photos* pics heavy Ok, it does start with F, but even though its not an Fbody, thought you guys would appreciate it anyway. 2006 Ferrari F430 Sypder. It was in excellent shape when I started working on it, so the before pics aren't anything special. There was one spot on the front that was stained and wouldn't come out, just fyi. And the exhaust is titanium color too.
Process
-clayed with Zaino Z18 and Z6
-leather with Zaino Z9 and Z10
-carbon fiber with Zaino AIO
-door jambs with Zaino AIO
-tires with Zaino Z16 x2
-wheels and calipers with Zaino AIO
-body got:
1 coat ZAIO
1 coat Z2pro
1 coat ZCS
finished withe Z8 Grande Finale
Hope you enjoy!

Who's car is it? They must trust you a lot to do that for them. I hough one who owns a Ferrari would get some better rediculously expensive wax... not knocken the product but ya know... couple hundred grand just for the car..
Nice work by the way...that color really reflects good.

There is a disadvantage to wax....durability. The most expensive ones last 3 months. This Zaino combo is good for about 9 months, and the shine that Zaino produces is better in my opinion. Wax may give it more depth and color, but for this car I chose Zaino. I do have some very expensive waxes, but I only use them for a few clients who's cars I visit frequently. Zaino is still my go-to product of choice.
Its not all about the cost of the product afterall. Zymol Vintage is about $8000... yet its a pain to remove and doesn't provide any better of a shine or depth than most $100-400 waxes (again, my opinion).
Thanks for the compliments!

Hey Jeff,
I met you awhile ago at Union Landing when there was a meeting. I have a NBM SS and I was the guy who let Matt borrow the PC. I been trying to buy some Menzerna products to correct my swirls on the car and I also want to try Zaino.
What do you recommend I buy ?
Thank for any help

Oh I remember you. Cool, well my favorite Menz product is Super Intensive Polish (SIP). Its made for hard clear coats, and works well for ours. Follow that up with 106FA (Nano). If you really want to take it further and get even more gloss, get FPII (Micropolish) or PO85RD. For those last two you're gonna want a pad with no cut. Like a Lake Country Black or Red pad. Lake country orange for the SIP, and Lake Country white for the 106FA. All 5.5" pads too. Go to Autogeek to get them. "corvette forum" coupon code will get you 10% off. And I think they have a special right now, free shipping over $95 order (and all that stuff will definately bump it over 100.

hey I recently purchased a porter cable and keep hearing to buy the 5.5 inch pads. I can't find them for some reason even after I just looked on autogeek. If you could please shoot me a link to them I would appreciate it. Also should I purchase a backing plate and/ or weight? And what pads? I was think orange, white and back but with what product? Sorry for all the questions I've never used a buffer before. Thanks for any help.

Looks very impressive. Love the color of the car. Just not a fan of cars with red interior. Looks like someone got murdered and they didn't a better job of spreading the blood than cleaning it up. LOL
