Default Paint correction on this Rossa 97 Ferrari 355 Spyder

Innovative Detailing performs its famous "Platinum Detail" 4-step paint correction process on this seriously scratched 97 Ferrari 355 Spyder. Under the proper lighting before I started it looked as if the vehicle had been washed with a brillow pad. The finished results were spectacular as I rotary cut/polished the vehicle 1x with Meguiar's & LC pads and M105 then rotary polished with Meguir's & LC pads & M205. Then D/A polished the vehicle with LC white pad and M205 followed with a thorough application with D/A and LC blue pad with Meguiar's Gold Class liquid wax........

Its a 2 way street Dave
The detailing section was crying out for a professional to take the lead, and there you were!
The sections came on leaps and bounds and no doubt got more and more people interested in this skill, that you obviously posess.
The posts c/w pics and write ups are great and I always lok forward to the next one. The videos, hints & tips as well as the Q & A sessions are just what the dcotor ordered and much appreciated as I'm sure they must take quite some time to put together.
I just hope that you get sumthin back in the form of business / referrals or the like

lookin forward to the next detail Dave....
