    Welcome on board

    [align=center][​IMG][/align]

    Let's go for a trippin' in F430

    [​IMG]

    Car not too dirty, but just many dust...

    Too difficult to wash in my exterior garage due to a F1 throttle, i have just remove dust with #34.

    [​IMG]

    And pass the clay just after

    [​IMG]

    Rims need a big washing :

    With Meguiars All purpose Cleaner and long brush

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Stay, road grim, and tar

    [​IMG]

    Need AG intensif tar remover too

    [​IMG]

    And protection with Swissvax Autobahn

    [​IMG]

    Result :

    F430 cleaned, time to start with my Rupes machine.

    After, testing of many combos, the choice was difficult... not too many swirls, but a little deep, and very hard paint !!!

    Thickness awesome...

    [​IMG]

    So need to take Poorboy SS2.5 for 75% of the car, and sometime 3M fast cut compound

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Problems :

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Megs 80 and finishing pad for finition

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Not always happy of the finition, due to stone chips.
    Stone chip let mark when polish pass on

    So i use 3M Ultra fina

    [​IMG]

    3M 3.5" pad were great !

    [​IMG]

    Door panel :

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Correction :

    [​IMG]

    after Correction :

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Rear wings, were not too swirled, so just cutting pad and 83, and many patience, give me a great result

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    other part :

    [​IMG]

    take 50/50 in photo is vry difficult on this colour...

    [​IMG]

    But in the rear of the car, there is more swirls...

    [​IMG]

    need wool pad and PB SSR2.5 with little 3M compound

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Light pass on rear lights (i love it, Pininfarina is a god !!)

    [​IMG]

    Same things with other rear wings : 83 and cutting

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Other rear parts with problems, need my new Abralon Mirka P4000 with G220

    [​IMG]

    I have spray the P4000 pad, with shampon mixe with water, and pass it

    [​IMG]

    whe dry :

    [​IMG]

    correction SS2.5 and cutting 3.5"

    [​IMG]

    other part :

    [​IMG]

    after

    [​IMG]

    few parts of the car, have not been traited due to that :

    [​IMG]

    Un film type 3M, que l'on pose pour protéger des éclats et autres rayures.

    Roadblock.

    Owner would be a little work on the Engine, which have his red parts turn to black red...

    So i cant use water or solvants in quantity in his precious engine, so just put Megs Super degreaser in AG brush, and work with it :

    [​IMG]

    We can see difference : left ok, right dirty

    [​IMG]

    Interior engine plastic were protect with Megs all season dressing

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    New look trim gel on exterior plastic windows

    [​IMG]

    For LSP, i have use Jetseal 109, which i discover for first time, and i was in heaven of the result !!! :
