This car has been on autopia a couple times, but needed correction due to an errant shop. The surface was able to be brought to 95 percent perfect, but there where many defects that where worth chasing, considering the age of the paint.

After washing with Z7, we clayed and polished the paint out using SIP and meg's 83 with various size and cut pads and finished with 106ff. After rewashing, we cleaned the paint with P21s body prep and used the new 100 percent PS21 to gauge its looks on red paint.
Z7 on the foam gun..

Brian working his magic with the CMA version of the CCS pad. Very nice feeling pads btw and the guy doing the polishing is pretty good as well ;)

Awesome job Todd, The Ferrari is a masterpiece of workmanship. I seen his work in person and it's some much better looking. He will blow anyone's mind with his skills.............:cheers:
 
Uh ho... looks like we have Toto Jr on our hands... and a fav of Meghan!!
 
Another great detail!

Thank you shuskan.

Thanks. I agree on the color (and the fact that Nikon's seem to pick up red very well doesn't hurt).

Oh no! Surfer better watch out! Meghan loves TH0001 details....:D


TH0001 awesome work, I love red.......
 
Nice Job!. I always like the 328. It looks to be in great shape.
 
Does the owner by chance wear Hawaiian shirts a lot and have a killer mustache?

Thanks Sparkie :D

Car is in great shape, it might actually enter the concours circut next year, but it has a little wear on the seat bolsters (and I mean very little) and a through engine bay detailing (some parts would need to be replated) and this car would do very well.

Does the owner by chance wear Hawaiian shirts a lot and have a killer mustache?

No to both (actually the PI model was a 308 which was slightly different) but it makes me want to grow one (on the fury side), get a mini 80's fro, some plastic aviators, a calculator watch, loafers, hairy chest (okay I'll stop now)..

Fantastic detail!

Thank you very much ;)

The Porsche is a 76 Turbo...I think this was 78 or 79 when my neighbor and I cleaned it for a show.

Toto, you are perfect for the role!!! Geeze, if I would have seen these pictures I would have kidnapped you from the expo and made you take some pictures with the car... :D
 
Hey Todd: I hope you can make it to the Detail Fest....should be lots of fun and a little break from the detailing.

When/Where?

March 29th (Saturday) at AutoGeek's warehouse/office in Stuart Florida. I'm flying in the night before to Orlando and driving there. I understand it's approx. 1.5 hours away via the Turnpike which isn't too bad.

I think I gave you my card at Mobile Tech Expo, so call my cell or drop me an e-mail.

Meghan has a Thread on this forum as well as pictures in the gallery from the previous Fest's.
