F40 finish

[everglo]

Has anyone had experience with a Ferrari F40/F50? I'm curious as to how to tackle removing some light scratches on the carbon fiber finish. Since the the body(below the clear & paint) is uneven should I not go too aggressive as there is potential to burn the 'raised' portions of the carbon fiber? Any experienced input/advice is appreciated.

I'm not sure how carbon fiber is suseptible to heat, but Since it is primed, based, and cleared then I would treat it like a fiberglass car. However, I have never detailed any cars with painted carbon fiber.

I havnt done one yet but would love to find out what works on one. Call me if your interested in having me and my fully stocked detail van on hand to help you create the shine on your vehicle.

I am about 25-30 miles (if that) north of Costa Mesa.

After evaluating a finish the next step to creating a brilliant shine is to determine what products and equipment your going to use.

I call this part of detailing as "bonding" with the vehicle. You need to get a feel for the finish, be it hard or soft, easy to shine or one that will fight you every inch of the way.

That being said, alway start light and work your way aggressive as needed.

Please call me if I can be of any help.

Hello everyone,

I've always wondered how you can tell a hard finish from a soft finish just by looking at it?

I have wondered that as well.

Ferrari paint is pretty soft, especially the older single stage stuff. I'd start by testing out a section with #82 and the PC and work my way up from there.
