    It's a pretty intense process but to get it right, it helps to remove and isolate the part completely. Some have suggested using Oven Cleaner to help remove the "stickies" on Ferrari parts but I have found that this completely removes the rubberized coating. In really extreme cases, this may be the only way to go. I suggest using Heavy Duty Goo Gone, it softens the rubberized coating but does not totally remove it and only then can you "smooth" out the rubberized coating again to make it as close to the original part as possible. It takes a lot of time to rub the rubberized coating to smooth but in the end it works.

    The 360 is a work of art and your pics prove it.

    Any more?

    What was your technical approach to the engine bay?

    Oil Flo is perfect along with Wurth Citrus degreaser easily removes grime and goo without damaging the car. What I do is I buy cheap pairs of garden gloves spray them with citrus degreaser and rub my hands all over the parts it is very easy and goes fast.

    I used Griot's Garage Engine Cleaner to degrease and clean, Chemical Guys Metal Shine Polish and Protectant for metal engine components, Chemical Guys Back to Black as the dressing, And polished the engine bay using Sonax AIO and sealed using JetSeal 109. I hope this helps.

    Looks fantastic. You did a heck of a job. Would you mind telling us what products, tools and process you used to correct the paint? I'd love to try that myself.

    Thanks! For the paint correction process, I used Meguiar's M105 with a 5.5 inch Surbuf pad using a Griot's DA and Menzerna SF4000 Super Finish with a black Lake Country pad on a Flex Rotary Buffer for the correction. Its a pretty intense process and I finished it off with Chemical Guys Pete's 53 wax.
