Indeed.

 

Thanks very much John. I'll try this out soon as it is an easy job but gives a very satisfiying result. I used until now the Swiss Wax Metal product which works very well on any metalic parts including my exhaust tips but it won't remove the scratches of course. Happy I'll be

I applied the nice idea of John on my gear shift. Instead of 1200 Grit sandpaper, I used the OP sandpaper which is the thinnest for final polishing the shift knob.

To finish the whole job, I used the Swiss Wax Metal Polish which is a great product. It removes all the little scratches left by the sandpaper and makes it very shinny. It protects it also against grease, humidity or corrosion.

For the 360 or 430, remember to use a 17mm wrench to unlock the nut right under the shift knob. This nut allows you to block the knob in the right position.

It's a very easy job to do, just need a bit elbow grease to pollish it right.

Sorry, the picture isn't great because the knob is so shinny that I couldn't use the camera flash.

Nice balls everyone!!!!!!!

 

Nice job! Very creative and awesome results.

 

Man! That is beautiful. I've gotta get this done too!

 

Question: did you use Ferrari factory touch up paint???

 

Do not know what other folks used. I bought and used the below from Autozone (I think you can get it from Walmart as well)

Excellent Job guys, very creative by color the Red Prancing Horse on the shifter gate. Happy New Years

 

Very impressive.

 

shining your knob like that takes some balls, particularly if you are a noob. I for one, am not nubile enough to rub long enough im such a confined space.

(is this enough to close this thread?)

 

John, nice DIY job. We have the same exact name and initial, btw....

 

John,

What a coincidence I'm from Taiwan too, but from Pingtung.
