2009 Ferrari Scuderia 16M, lots of webs...

Some people would simply call that a garage full of Ferraris...



I call that heaven! :shocked

Great rescue!!!!, without the private sector of detailers(skilled)these dealerships would be up s**t creek. Ferrari has never been known for their fit and finish, and what they are putting out now is much better than the past by a long shot with the new paint shop as everything was done by hand pre 05 model years.



Can you imagine if Ferrari had just one skilled person in the new car prep dept, he or she could train other like minded people and the product coming out would match the the mystic and price point. It would then have the finish of well Lamborghini(audi) lol.

SWEET!!! I have only seen one of these in person and it was at Cavallino as a preproduction.



Great work!!



In regards to polishing with pressure, I always use atleast 10 lbs of pressure (guessing) for the first several passes, sometimes much more (probably close to 30 as you mentioned) as pressure with a foam pad can have HUGE effect on how the polish reacts.



Great work dude, top of the line, and congrats on such an amazing machine!



Yep, pressure can be a deciding factor. In fact, Axel Schnarrenberger of Menzerna uses low RPMs and heavy pressure when correcting.



Of course, the technique needs to be fine tuned according to the type of abrasives, but always ensures good results.



The imperfections Jesse had to deal with were typical defects for Hungarian cars. As we have dusty, dirty rain, roads, even dusting poses a major threat because certain tiny, sharp quartz particles can marr the finish causing extremely thin, but very deep scratches. They are not too noticeable, but stubborn. In these cases I don't like to compromise the thickness of the clear - especially on a Ferrari, which doesn't have particularly thick and/or high quality paint. A PTG is essential.
 
Looks ace mate! Oh, I know I havent respond to your PM, will sort it out tomorrow.



Like Bence and Todd said, use pressure for the first passes and then less pressure. You need pressure to cut trough the swirls. Did you try to finish with #30?
 
Outstanding work...and an even more outstanding opportunity. I hope that a permanent relationship with the dealer comes about. It would be good for both you and those cars!

Cool, I discovered something that's already been discovered :)
 
Nice work on the 16M, beautiful car and detail. Both Scuderia's I've done started in similar shape (and both had about the same test mileage on them).
