That is some top notch work there! "bow

 

[imported_artikxscout]

Very nice! the paint on the ferraris are very forgiving!

 

[dennn]

Those look like sanding marks and compounding scratches. They are extremely even and symmetrical.



I guess Ferrari believes that orange peel is worse than sanding marks that they couldn't remove.

Forgiving in what ways?



I have found that you actually have to be very careful due to the damage that is already inflicted on these vehicles from the factory...

There were all kinds of sanding / compouding left overs... Just like all Ferrari's... BUT, Like the owners and I always talk about, no one buys an F-Car for the paint...lol

Priceless!

Bryan, thanks buddy! Also, thanks again for brining the Surbuf pads to my/our attention!

Top notch work Jason..

Just fantastic work...Wow.



Let me ask you a question, when it comes to the photoshoots, does the owner let you actually drive the car to the photoshoot and you take photos, or do follow the owner to places and do it just to build your portfolio?

The pic in the grassy area is about 70 feet from where I work and the pics with the chain link fence behind it is about 300ft from where I work.... no more than pulling it out for sun inspection.
