Hi all! Here's an F430 that I had to correct another detailer's "correction" on. This guy bought the car just before the Ferrari dealership found me so unfortunately the owner got it in pretty poor condition. The befores:

Some polish from either the factory or the cowboy that "polished" it before me...

My favorite cluster of scratches that are always on the back lid...

After a few passes with InstaFinish #15 and a polishing pad. I worked it in quite a while so it finished up with almost no marring. I finished this one up with InstaFinish #30 and a finishing pad and jeweled the heck out of it. Wax of choice today was Swissvax Concorso.

Ouch! Couldn't save that one completely as the scratches were just too deep and my PTG doesn't read fiberglass... it came out looking decent (forgot to take pics L:() though.

When I arrived to do this car, the owner called me and said, "There's a big, red guy that's coming to let you in." I thought, "Red guy?" And then he showed up... wow, he really IS red!! :D

This one will have special meaning to me, as it's what me and Gábor, the sales manager on the left, will be taking to this place at the weekend... along with 16 V12 Ferraris :argie: Ferrari rented out the entire hotel and invited all the V12 owners and little old me to wash and then of course mingle with the rich later that night... talk about throwing someone a bone, eh?

Funny pics of the baby eater and man with red flesh. Great work as always.



Thanks Lex! Big Red stayed there with me for more than 3 hours... I thought he was gonna start gnawing away at my tires for a minute, but then the boss man released him for feeding time :)

Thanks mate! I'm rather partial to the color also, but I prefer the California body... I just like the contours better than the 430 (and it's a HELL of a lot easier to polish than the 430!)

great job man!!! nice garage.



Thanks! I'm gonna try and talk the owner into making his own private car wash in the big garage in the pics... he owns the building so I think he'd go for a little modifications!

Thank you for the kind words my friend :)!
 
Incredible work, you did the car right, too bad it's got that horrible color on it...... :grinno:



Nice catch with the party invite. I'm sure you'll pick up a few new clients.
