I've seen alot of Ferrari detail threads on brand new cars that are in horrible condition. Some needing wet sanding and polishing to get what you think you'd get off the boat. Maybe the QC people at Ferrari are better soccer players than they are detailers.:cool:

Can't wait for this one. The F458's probably my favorite Ferrari at the moment.:props:

That's funny as I usually buy all my cables at Monoprice. One time I was in need of an HDMI cable and couldn't wait to order one so I had a buddy that worked at a local electronics store pick one up for me. It was a Rocketfish 6' HDMI cable that was tagged $89.95, his price was $7.02.

I'm a huge Samsung fan, I have a 46" lcd as well as a 32" bedroom tv. LCD's perform better in rooms with lots of light although they look good in the dark also. Plasma's prefer a dimly lit room as a rule. Another forum to check out if you have some time is avsforum.com. They have both plasma and...

First of all, I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I live in Michigan and follow the Tigers. I guess they'd be my favorite baseball team if you really got down to it. I don't think Congress has any business meddling in this or the steroid scandal for that matter. I think they need to fire Bud Selig...

I wouldn't use the same pad without cleaning it. I'm really new to this too, but the pads get loaded up with product real fast, and most experts suggest cleaning the pad every panel or so anyway. I'd keep a pad with the 105 on it and have another with a lesser compound handy and try that. The...

Cars been clayed, next up the glazing.

My apologies to TheCougarGuy. I knew there were 8705 7-Litres produced in 66. What I didn't know was that a 427 R-code was available as a special order. It appears only 38 were built, 36 hardtops and 2 convertibles. The rest were 428's. Knowing that, I wish mine was a 427 R-code. I'm in the...

+1 on the "real work" description. I did my first detail with a PC a month ago and I was beat. I can see how doing this on a daily basis would get you in pretty good shape. I was using Mike's philosophy of putting passion behind the pad.:buffing:

I went with the PC7424XP and 5.5 pads. It seems to be the easiest to use as well as the least likely to damage your paint.:xyxthumbs:

I love the IS-F. I'd take that in a heartbeat over the Bimmer. :dblthumb2:

I hear ya man. You came in here talking about about how hard it is to get your new black GT's paint perfect and got mugged. I swore after my last black car that I'd never have another one, now I have two. It's definitely the hardest color to maintain, but when you get it right, and it's clean...

That's exactly what I want to do, even though it's going to be alot of work. The car has lived most of it's life under a cover in a barn, it's had 10K miles put on it in the last 25-30 years. I want to keep the paint as original as possible. I'm only going to drive it 5-6 times a year, so I want...

No worries man...That's why I posted the question as I wasn't sure what to do either.:xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the tips Mike, I'm glad I didn't just dive right in with the PC. I'll pick up some #7 glaze this weekend. As far as the wash goes, I may have to get this wet as it's been sitting uncovered in my pole barn for a year or so. I'll be purchasing a cover soon so the waterless car wash will...

Thanks for the advice guys. I definitely want to hear what Mike has to say before I proceed. I'll try to post some pics of the car as soon as I wash it. Maybe this weekend.:Picture:
