Each one, teach one... Ferrari Fiorano 355 F1 Spider
Originally posted by Ranger72 Mike, I like that saying, "Each One, teach one". I don't think I have ever heard that before and wish I had!
I got from a member for the original www.showcargarage.com forum, I can't remember their forum name, maybe Tim can? He used it in his signature line. After reading in numerous times, it stuck in my mind and plain and simple... made good sense, especially when it comes to the detailing cars in general and the art of polishing paint as a little techniques goes a long ways...
But after reading
Mike Phillips 760-515-0444 showcargarage@gmail.com "Find something you like and use it often"
So true about technique. Another saying I use all the time is:
"A tool is only as smart as the person using it"
The saying isn't intended to be negative of people, but instead its more describing the need for proper technique and such.
Originally posted by Lt1Corvette Do ferrari's have a really soft clearcoat? Or are they still single stage? Just curious after mike mentioned about how ferrari paint can be well, cautious minded.
I detail a 1996 348 Spider about twice a year and it has a relatively soft single stage paint job. #80 is more than adequate for most light to moderate defects.

does this guy buff his car with a wool buffing pad without any product lol
great job Scottwax
Dealer detailed it last time he took it in for service. He called me a few months later to redo what they did. He used to drive it pretty regularly but decided to stop piling up the miles.

Mike as usual excellant work. I agree with "each one teach one". I'm still learning the finer points of detailing, But with the knowledge you shared with us in the Tampa class last year, the great advice that this forum provides us , the learning curve is getting higher. lol Great work on the car and continue "each one teach one". Thanks again.

I'm working today to remove some really light scratches from my 08' F350. In review of this thread, I thought the results on this Ferrari are worth another look by everyone. It is truely amazing what Meguiar's products can do. It is even more amazing that they can continue to get even better.
Thanks to everyone, this thread and others, for posting your experiences. The reason we are all here is to learn to make our vehicles look their best. We truely grow from each others experiences and comments. Thanks to you too Mike (Administrator) for pointing me the right directions that support my needs. You're a champ!
