Got my hands on a Italian machine. 2009 F430 Scuderia!

[Justins00ss]

So this has been a long time coming. The owner of this car also has a few others and is someone I have known for a good bit of time. He does run around with the exotic car click but does invite me to some of there events to hangout and enjoy all the different cars. And he is an awesome guy to boot. Just has a love of cool cars. So he finally asked me a while back to fit his 2009 F430 Scuderia into my schedule for a much needed correction and a 1 year coating job. As always I thanked him for putting his trust in my abilities and workmanship. He warned me that the dealer absolutely ruined it by hacking away and leaving compound and wax etc everywhere! They even installed PPF over existing holograms on the hood and bumper. Which is something that will be getting fixed at a later date.


So the F430 Scuderia is a raced out version of the normal plush F430. This comes with a bunch of F1 style features in the cockpit. Aluminum floors, carbon fiber race seats wrapped in Alcantara, carbon fiber door panels and a host of other race inspired features make this thing a brute on the roads!


Process


Wash/Decon- 2BM wash with Mckees new Coating prep Auto Wash. This stuff foams really well and rinses super easy. Light decon with nanoskin handy towel.


Wheels/Tires - Being this car has Carbon Ceramic brakes. Just soapy water and some wheel woolies were all that was needed. Wheel wells were cleaned and dressed while on the lift. They were dressed using hyper dressing mixed 50/50.
Tires got Mckees Gloss tire gel.


Correction work- Rupes Duetto, Rupes Nano Ibrid, Adams swirl killer mini. Cut using Mckees FC-717 and Boss
microfiber cutting pad. Finish polish with Hyper polish and Rupes yellow pad.


Interior- carbon fiber was wiped down with IGL Enhancer detail spray. Alcantara was lightly cleaned with Mckees carpet and upholstery cleaner.


LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating

Wow! That is FANTASTIC work!!! I am glad you got to do an Italian exotic! It`s funny to me - exotics are pretty much ALL I do! This year, I was entrusted with a 458 Spider, a Lamborghini Gallardo, McLaren 570S, and have a 911 turbo S, Lambo Huracan (new car prep), and Ferrari F430 coupe, and a Corvette Z06 lined up. I don`t mean to boast - I just consider myself so lucky that way, that my driving buddies trust me with their rides. It is a privilege, and one that is much, much cherished. I get to spend some real quality time with some amazing machines, and get to do something for some really good friends, and the local Animal Shelter benefits from any proceeds.

Hope more of these come your way - they deserve your expertise!!! That Scud looks AMAZING!!!

Thanks bud! The owner of this car has others and is always flipping and trading up. He is getting rid of his Maserati and picking up a McLaren 675lt which will be coming in. His viper is next on the list. And if he decides to get rid of the Scuderia for a Aventador then that will be coming too. I do have another f430 spyder coming in next month.

Wow, what a beauty! Looks like the McKees soap removed the old wax. I’ve got a gallon coming that should be here this week. I kinda looks like the owner/detailer washed the car with some type of soap that had wax in it based on the contamination under the badge. I’ve never been big about using those type of soaps and this just gives me another reason to stay away from soaps with glossifers.

Well the soap didn`t remove the dried wax build up. That was tedious amounts of time with a brush lol. It did strip the existing wax of the surface though. The Ferrari dealer was responsible for the mess created. He witnessed them covering the car with wax etc after telling them not too.

Before he took delivery of the vehicle i inspected it and it wasn`t this bad. Then he had them hang on to it a couple months since it was winter time and they "detailed" for him. Couldn`t believe it.
