after a close inspection the verdict was clear: brake fluid stain/damage on wheel and right side of the car`s paint.

the wheel-finish is ruined :

I really enjoy watching folks that can really turn an ugly duckling into something absolutely gorgeous! I would love to sit and watch someone go through their process to learn and understand the approaches used to reach perfection.... :props:
 
Cosmin, great results on both cars! I really like how the white looks now on the porsche, and that you were able to repair the damage from the brake fluid (which is very damaging to paint). Excellent turnaround!
 
Thank you guys , on ferrari i didn`t realize the difference before/after until i saw the pictures, i knew it was dirty.
on porsche the brake fluid and grease was ugly , stain the paint really bad

Looks Amazing!! I hope one day I get good enough to touch these cars.
 
great save. brake fluid kills paint quickly. looks new again
 
What do you think caused the brake fluid leak?

Did a mechanic fail to tighten down the bleed valve properly? Or just fail to blot up the little bit left in the valve core after being bled so it got sucked out by the airflow while driving.
 
I think I just feel in love with the interior of a car..


Nice work man, salute!
 
Beautiful work Cosmin - the difference on the Ferrari is remarkable for what was done to it.... wow!!!
