Had the opportunity to work on this Ferrari with David Strum. Car was very clean to begin with, but the finish had the usual swirls and RIDS that needed to be addressed. On to the pix, Enjoy! BEFORE: > Here I attempted to capture the swirls present in the A-pillar. > Swirls present on the driver-side. > The sun was catching those swirls just right. > The sun was catching those swirls just right on the passenger side. > The best shot I was able to take of the swirls and RIDS we encountered and had to correct. > In progress... AFTER: > A gorgeous halogen reflection shot. > Another one. > David wiping down the undercarriage with ONR. > Myself working in the engine cover. > Here are some outside pictures after it was all said and done.

Ahhh... the tire shine.... My own concoction of... Opti-Bond 1:1 w/ distilled water AND, this solution with an equal part of Showroom FX White Pearl tire dressing.
looks great man. i always did find it odd that when you photograph red under halogen lights it looks orange. Car came out fantastic though man. What a nice piece of art.

Wow. That is a beautiful car. I actually love the stripe, and great rims. Excellent job. The gloss is just superb.
