A "Halo car" from Ferrari which was VERY hard for my client to purchase(Many hoops were jumped through)and after the wait to get it from the dealer it was finally brought over to my shop in a enclosed trailer.
As over the years I have done many Ferrari`s it is well known(Especially to my client who owns this car) that factory defects are the norm for Ferrari as they make beautifully styled and very fast vehicles but need correction to finally look sorted. Of all the Ferrari`s I have done this one had the most defects and would take just a little over 50 total hours to get right.
The tri-coat metallic yellow finish was very difficult to capture defects on my camera, although the carbon bits showed the defects clearly.
769 BHP F-12 tdf waiting to get worked on.
Pics of the factory defects.
Same area of the hood after compounding.
Deep rotary wool pad hologramming.
More sanding scratches.
Hard to imagine this part of the rear bumper passing muster................... believe it.
Compounded except for the delicate edge.
Even the newer micro buffers could not get the sanding scratches on the very edge from the transition from the carbon to the yellow painted portion, low tech solutions needed.
Same area corrected of unsightly defects.
More issues to be dealt with.
Scary to correct defects like this everywhere, DeFelsko 200 Advanced utilized with high pucker factor going after this defect.
After.
Did I mention compound residue in all the crevices?, under the gas filler cap....................
The hidden beauty under the defects coming out.
By far one of the most beautiful O.E. wheels Ferrari has ever put on a car.
After the compounding before the ultra fine polishing stage, I open the hood to sort out the engine bay. Cheapo solvent based dressing everywhere.
Original satin finish restored.
Engine porn.
Alcantara equipped bad a** seats.
Dry carbon fiber, and HUGE paddle shifters.
Classic rear luggage shelf spec per V-12 front engine Ferrari.
Ready to head outside for beauty pics.
