    That’s very cool! Only cars from Chile? I am surprised there were no cars from other countries in South America. Seems very well organized. Question, what are the speed limits on those empty stretches of road?

    Just did my first detail job on my ‘02 Spider. Used Chemical Guys V34 Compound/Polish, EZ Glaze, Jet Sealer, and Butter Wax. Used their hex pads with a Porter Cable DA polisher.

    Looks great. Knocked out almost all of the swirl marks and stains (I was too chicken to use a more aggressive compound! Maybe next time.).

    Here’s my routine:

    Spray wheels with 6235 Brake Dust Buster (be careful...very strong, need to wash off quickly)

    Pre-soak/wet car

    Wash wheels with brush and Griots car wash soap, and rinse wheels thoroughly (also do the wheel wells)

    Wash car with hand mit and two buckets (Griots soap and rinse bucket). Rinse thoroughly

    Pre-dry nooks and crannies with air hose

    Dry with Chem Guys waffle towels (one for “big” water and another for final dry)

    Clay bar (Griots) the paint and spray (with plain water and one drop of car wash soap in 32 oz spray bottle)

    Chem Guys V36 polish/compound with blue hex pad and PC DA polisher on 3 1/2 speed, including paint and protective bra (kept a very slight gap between paint and bra...not quite getting to edge when doing paint, same with bra). Wiped with Griots blue microfiber towels

    Chem Guys EZ Glaze Cream with green hex pad, 3 1/2 speed, same steps as above (but not on bra). This step was really worth the time...made a noticeable difference in shine and further reduced swirls.

    Chem Guys Jet Seal with black pad, same steps as above including bra and plastic headlight lenses.

    Chem Guys Butter Wet Wax with red pad, same as above but no bra/lenses.

    Windshield:

    Spray/wipe with Sprayway glass cleaner

    Blue clay bar with plain water spray, dry

    Chem Guys V38 polish with green hex pad on 4 1/2 speed (really gets out tiny dings, swirls and wiper marks). Repeat if necessary

    Spray with Rainex, buff in, let dry and buff out. Dramatically improves driving visibility and makes the windshield look new.


    I still need to remove some of the wax residue on the bra edges left by the Ferrari dealership when they “detailed” the car, but still looks great.

    Hope this helps.

    What a great trip! Of course I gravitated to the Giallo Challenge Stradale. I then looked on the registry and there were no CS' listed from Chili! Looks like we are missing one!

    On 2nd glance I don't think it's a real CS. There is a shot at the beginning from the rear and I don't see the CF cross bars in the rear window or the script on the grill and I don't think the rear deck is correct. Maybe we haven't missed one!

    Oh totally.... I’ll be using your routine and let you know how it turns out. This is gonna save me about $800. Thanks !! I’ve used V36 on my Tesla before and the paint is very thin on that car. I was a bit scared to use it on the Ferrari, but heck, I’m gonna give it a shot.

    Totally agree. I have family in Sherman so know the surrounding are pretty well. Loved Kent Falls as a kid. Don’t forget about Lime Rock! Drive up from nyc is half the fun.

    Chemical Guys have a bunch of compounds/polishes with various levels of aggressiveness. I bought a bunch of them and usually start with the least aggressive compound on a small test area.

    My paint on the ‘02 was in decent shape, meaning a fair amount of swirls but not too many deep scratches. The routine I described was perfect for that level of flaws. I would go one step less aggressive on a newer car with less flaws, and one step more aggressive if more flaws.

    I highly recommend the EZ Glaze step since it really brought out the depth of the color and shine.
