Ferrari 360 Spider/ 911 GT2RS- Premier Shine

[premiershine9]

Hello again MM,
Turkey week was pretty exciting for me- hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a good one!

Since leaving to go back to school I have been keeping in touch with my client who I had performed a new car prep on his new 911 GT2RS (see other post). He was extremely pleased with my work and informed me of his "other" cars in his collection. After playing phone tag with him back and forth between meetings in the city (NY) and Europe we finally get some dates settled during turkey week in which I would be able to visit his home in CT and begin work on the collection.

In his collection:
- Ferrari (F1?) 360 spider
- 1996 Porsche 911 turbo
- 1987 Porsche 911 turbo
- 2009 Porsche Cayenne turbo s
- 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS
.....More to come after that......enough for now

This post-
Ferrari 360 Spider (two step correction and a full interior treatment)
Porsche 911 Turbo Interior treatment
Porsche 911 GT2 RS (full wash and a paint sealant application)

A little garage pic: (1/3 of it)


Befores:












Some nice foliage

Clear bra had been scraped in two places (later would be trimmed and heated to make less visible)






Interior was fully vacuumed, seats, instrumentals etc. blown out with compressed air.....
Leatherique Rej. Oil left on for a few hours:







While I was letting the Oil do its magic I started working on the 96 turbo interior (Full Correction coming in a few weeks on it), the leatherique oil had also been put on the 911 the day before.
Some Befores:


After:








Back to the Spider:
Interior Carpet work:







Taking Leatherique off and cleansing:



Can't forget about the leather dash as well:





After the interior was wrapped up, the top was put on and the car was pulled outside for a full decon wash:
Iron Cut doing its thing:



Sonax FE applied as well




After the wheels were agitated with my Uber spoke brush and Swissvax wheel brush I then moved on to getting this unknown (crappy tire dressing) substance off the side of the Pirelli's. Tarminator and a Pinnacle bug block used here:



Two bucket wash method with a homebrew concoction Chem guys Citrus wash and Maxi Sudz 2 with a lambs wool mitt






Clayed using ONR and Uber Blue
Re-washed again

Pulled inside after being dried for paint inspection:
- The car ranged from very very mild cobwebbing to RDS and some terrible marring in the inlet vents and on the rear decklid











After some test spots the following was chosen:
- Menz SIP via uber orange followed up by Menz 106 FA on a green pad
Rear decklid and more severe areas:
- M105 via Uber yellow, Menz SIP via Uber orange, Menz 106 FA via Uber green
All other inlets and tight areas were done either by hand or via my PC with a 3 inch LC pad

Taping up:



First step with SIP:




My brother working on the engine bay- cleaned with ONR, Swissvax brushes and dressed with 303, exhaust system polished with P21s polishing soap.



Some 50/50's



On the dash Ferrari had placed a WARNING sticker straight onto the leather- the owner requested we remove it:
Citrus degreaser diluted 10:1 and a little help with a plastic razor blade and a heat gun:

Moving onto rear decklid area- taping up and laying paper over the engine cover- proper prep always a must:







Menzerna PowerLock applied




303 applied to lower rear air damn:

All glas cleaned:



Removal of PL 30 minutes later:


911 GT2 RS pulled outside and received a full 2 bucket method wash as well- pulled back in for a Paint Sealant App.
Previous coat I applied of PL from August still beading well:



Afters:






Afters for the Spider:

I noticed that too......he's the third owner of the ferrari- 2nd owner put on exhaust system and GruppeM Intake.

For how powerful the client is.....it"ll take a day to get that switched haha

P.S. the pics are pornographic...... the garage and house are even more sexual- heated flooring in garage with climate system and lights all over- one big plasma and surround sound- I had satellite radio on the whole time. 8)
