    ferrari paint on sat

    Saturday i Have a ferrari coming in . no spots or anyhting. but how soft is the paint. if i wash and its clean should i not use the pc to polish and wax or use it with great caution? i trust myself with the high speed or the pc any day on any paint but if there is no reason for it then a good thourough wash and a good thourogh hand time consuming forearm cramping claner wax fallowed by a pure carnuba . or should i pc with the cleaner and hand apply thecarnuba. this is not a question from inexpierience it is a question of no expierience with ferrari paint. i know mercedes have soft paint , or most german cars do . can any one tell me what they have expierienced when it comes to ferrari paint. i wil ltry and take pics if i can find my frigewn digital. thanks in advance

    I think you should be OK if you are using an orbital polisher. If you are using a rotary, be cautious. I would say use the orbital to clean the paint and then wax by hand. I know Top of the line lists Anthony Orosco`s process on a ferrari. I believe it was Hi Temp`s light cut cleaner, followed by Klasse AIO, followed by TOL`s trade secret. It did not mention if he used a polisher. I am guessing he used his cyclo to polish the paint. I would PM Anthony Orosco and ask him personally.
