2 Rare Cars: GT Ford Gulf Oil and BMW Orinoco

[Totoland Mach]

Got around to finishing these cars today (except for the interior on the Bimmer). This car is pretty rare for a U.S. model. Orinoco Green/Pearl 740iL with a sport package. The interior is cream leather with dark green piping (Hi-Line package is what I think they called it in 2001). Scratch/swirl removal with a wool pad and then polish and finally wax with Meguiar's #26.

Outside pics...it actually got above freezing today, so power washing was done. These pics are before #26.

Then I beat feet over to the Ferrari service shop to complete this Gulf Oil GT (complete with Dan Gurney roof bubble)

I had previously cleaned the wheels and wells while the car was in for service work...and the finish was already in outstanding shape. So, it was some Zaino All-In-One on the lower panels (where some light scratches were present) and Z2 on the rest.

Your work looks great Toto. I can't say I like the graphics on the Ford GT.

Gary: I think the graphics are "period correct" and the owner even found some rare stickers (I can't remember which ones) to complete the car. It's not my cup of tea either, but I appreciate Ford's effort in this car.

Toto, have you ever thought of making a detailing video? I'm sure you've been asked before, but every time I see your work I wonder why you haven't tried to make one. But anyway, you are a master detailer. Thanks for taking the time to show us your work, it's always appreciated.
