Thumbs up Gleammachine-F430 Spider Pure Automotive Porn.

A lovely 8 week old Ferrari F430 Spider was what greeted me today in South London, booked in for a Zaino treatment upon my recommendation and to sort out the dealer inflicted wash marks and swirls.

Not in too bad a state upon arrival,









First job up was to pre-spray with a strong mix of DG ultimate orange,



Alloys dealt with in the usual manner with VP Billberry and various brushes and DG wash mitt,



Foamed x2 with DG901 & UO and then washed using the TBM & Britemax shampoo and Zym@l sponges,



The pattern of light defects pretty much all over,



Defects corrected with the Metabo using 3M extra fine compound on a Visomax combination pad and then followed up with Menz po85rd FF on a blue 3M finishing pad,

Video



With the correction complete an IPA wipe down was given and then followed 3 layers of Zaino Z2 pro & ZFX with Z6 in between the layers and topped of with Z8,
Alloys sealed with Poorboys and tyres dressed with CG new look,
Mesh vents,inner alloys and diffuser treated with Opti-seal,



Windows and engine cover cleaned with SV crystal,
Arches dressed with DG non silicon dressing,

In all it's glory















































A quick clip at low rev's,



A very pleasurable day and being a Porsche man Ferraris don't usually do it for me but this beauty definately had my heart fluttering.
