Re: Ferrari 458 Italia: Full wet sand and detail in South Florida
Before looking at the full sized after photos it is important to reflect with two full sized before photos.
There was heavy orange peel over the Ferrari's entire surface.
Here is an in progress shot taken of the 458 Italia prior to the end of day three. A lot of time was spent double and triple checking the progress and results. If there had been enough factory paint thickness to completely sand the body completely flat, this job would have been easier. As such the goal was to get as close to perfect as possible, which meant giving it a consistent and uniform finish everywhere. Over sanding and over flattening a small amount too much would have meant re-sanding the entire surface flatter as well to ensure total uniformity.
The remaining pictures are after shots, taken both in direct sunlight and in the shade close to the house. Thank you for reading.
I would also like to thank Kevin Brown for graciously taking the time to proof read this thread and for making many beneficial suggestions!Let's make all of the cars shiny! -

Kudos to the owner of this car for finding the right person to correct that paint. It really needed it. Excellent work and I'm sure even more people will be searching out your services because of it.
That is one heck of a beautiful car.Comment

Re: Ferrari 458 Italia: Full wet sand and detail in South Florida
Amazing work on the car Todd! Honestly though, since your work is always great, I must say I was more impressed with the amount of time you spent in the write up. Clearly you have made it THE most informative and educational before and after write up to date.
I'm still a complete newb with Adobe Illustrator, but I can still imagine how long it took to get the amount of detail you have in some of those illustrations. I especially like the one showing the orange peel texture along with the subsequent steps.
My hats off to you bro!
