Hi all! Here's a couple of Quattroportes I did (one last week and one today). The first one is 3 years old and had 60,000 km on it, but was in fantastic shape. It had minor swirls on it and a couple of deep scratches, but aside from that it was clean and well looked after (the seller is a new Quattroporte and F430 customer of mine). I didn't get any befores of this one, as it was an SOS detail that they told me about the day before so needless to say I was in a rush (the customer signed the contract just before I finished). Like I said before there were only light swirls on it so everything was cleared up with InstaFinish Premium Polish, which also served as my LSP, and a finishing pad at about 600-900-1800-900 RPM. Tires were dressed with InstaFinish Premium Protect All and leather was treated with InstaFinish Leather Conditioner (smells yummy ), also the carpets were spot-cleaned with a 1:10 mix of Riwax APC.

This next one had me "pfft-ing" from the start. The lighting was just perfect to catch this with the naked eye, though not as well on camera. BIG blotches of missing clear coat, look at the center of the bonnet... yes, this is a NEW car. Well, Ferrari do own Maserati...
If you look in the reflection just "above" the window, you can see the cloudy parts where the clear is missing...
Very contaminated for a new car with only 64 km on it. All cleaned up with Optimum Clay and Born Slippy
Some cleaning to do in the boot...
Some sticky stuff on the "shifter"
Piggies...
To be cleaned with APC and a MF
Engine bay needed some attention, too...
Around the winscreen
Icky stuff under the weatherstripping
Oops...
After claying the LSP for today was Migliore Primo
The new owner's gift of Migliore Primo from the dealership
Afters
Up next...
OK let's see how good some of you car buffs really are. I love cars, but I suck at guessing the years, etc. and I'm not the type that can tell you how much horsepower they've got, etc., etc. I'm into them strictly for the eye candy
. Anyhoo, this one's on the operating table now and should be finished in a couple of days. Flexcalibur and I started a bit late on him today, but got a lot done nonetheless. I'll try to do a proper write-up on this one... Here's the mystery machine:
Any edumacated guesses?
Thanks for reading and for all the Playboy subscribers, thanks for "reading"!
