2004 FERRARI ENZO!!!!
Well this is the car I mentioned (without actually naming it about two weeks ago). It’s a 2004 Ferrari Enzo with just under 2000 miles on the clock. I completed the detail at the same place I did the Ferrari 212. (Don’t bother asking where this place is
) I have to keep client confidentiality to its highest.
An Enzo averages *roughly* $1.2million and I believe there are only to be 393 left in the world. Thanks to Eddie Griffin for wrecking one as you all may have heard on the news about a month ago. The owner recently acquired this one and plans on driving the car as it is meant to be (he has already tracked it!!!! )and wanted it to “look nice.� Well being the person I am, “nice� on THIS car is not good enough. So I took upon myself to put in extra time and please the owner without charging the full amount.
The body is ALL Carbon Fiber and the angles, curves, and lines of the car made this detail very difficult. The paint is a little different then typical Ferrari paint I have come across, which I believe they use flex agents in the paint to bend with the carbon fiber. The car had buffer trails, marring, and swirls. From what I am told the paint is buffed from the factory and usually arrives to dealers with buffer swirls and paint defects galore. This car was certainly a challenge for me and proved to be very time consuming to get right. In the end the paint came out pretty good only with very minimal swirls left over that seemed to be ‘in� the paint.
Exterior Process:
Wash (No Clay as there were MINIMAL contaminants)
Tried many different combinations to remove paint defects and the below worked the best:
HT-HC / Menz 106FF (80/20 mix) @ 1700rpms with orange cut pad.
Menz IP / Menz 106FF (70/30 mix) @ 1700rpms with white polish pad.
Menz 106FF @ 1700rpms –> 1200rpms with blue finesse pad.
Re-Washed Car
Zymol HD-Cleanse
Zymol Vintage
Tires dressed with Z16
Windows cleaned with Spray Away.
Interior Process:
Interior was pretty much clean…
Vacuum
FK425 wipe down on all carbon fiber surfaces then Zymol Vintage
Leather Cleaned with Leatherique Pristine Clean, dressed with Z10
Dash and other vinyl surfaces treated with 303.
Flitz on chrome exhaust tips
Engine wiped down with FK425
Zymol Vintage on Carbon Fiber Pieces.
Flitz on anything chrome or metal.
There are probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting, but those were the main parts.
PICS!!!!
