Using some M105 applied with cotton buds. Picture of KC working on the wheels thought one of the many vents on the F355. The wheels were a big challenge with lots of caked on brake dust, etc. KC did a great job on them. Will leave it to KC to post some details on that job in his blog: . Before and afters on the doors. Air vents cleaned with APC and dressed with NXT Tech Protect. On with the interior. Leather everywhere. The Ferrari leather was very soft and also smelled quite good. Some whitish residue on the leather. Removed with APC and conditioned with Gold Class Aloe Leather Conditioner. Before and after on the center console. NXT Metal Polish on the gear knob and kick plate. Taping up by KC. Vents on the engine covered with cling wrap and taped off to prevent any polish residue from entering the engine bay. Some pictures of the swirls on the paint taken by KC. Pretty bad swirls and random isolated deep scratches (RIDS). Wash with ONR using a Meguiar's Microfiber Washmitt followed by clay with ONR lube. Demonstrated here by KC.





Test area on the hood. If you look closely under the halogen lights, some swirls visible. Various products were tried out and we finally settled on M105/Wool followed by M205/W8006. Swirl free with a nice depth to the paint. Another test area, before and after. KC did the compounding with M105 while I followed up with the M205/W8006 combo. Some nice afters on the hood. The red really stood out with some depth to the paint and a nice glossy wet appearance. Door mirrors were badly faded and looked different from the rest of the car. Corrected with multiple passes of M205/W8006. There was some paint transfer after polishing so either the door mirrors were painted with a single stage paint or perhaps the clear coat had failed. The top of the door mirrors were corrected while the lower half was still dull and uncorrected. Some great pictures and correction work by KC with M105 on the rear of the car.
