This is a 1967 275 GTB/4. I absolutely love this special car! Based on emails and comments received during my last Ferrari restoration (288 GTO), everyone wanted to know the steps I take BEFORE I begin the compound/polish etc stage. What facts need to be understood prior to apply any product or machine… The information gathered before repairing the paint will dictate how you decide what products/abrasives (or not) to use to remove the minimal amount of surface (clear or single) to save the “working life” of the paint. Remember, pro-detailers get paid… not for how much they “remove”, but for how much they “leave” intact. -Larry Kosilla, Founder / AMMO NYC!
