In a world…where Supercars are kept from looking their best by swirls, scratches, grime, and years of wear and tear…lives two restorative artisans with incredible powers fueled by severe cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders.



It’s man versus machine in an epic battle that will prove to be the blockbuster hit of the summer.



See Craig Reed as the Mechanical Mad Scientist and Todd Cooperider as the Paint Whisperer in their quest to restore the rare and highly collectible Ferrari F40 and prepare it for the 20th Anniversary F40 Gathering in Monterey, CA.



Craig and Todd face perhaps their biggest challenge ever when they take on the mighty F40.



Watch them as they deal with years of scratches and swirls

Witness Todd’s steady hand when polishing all of the dangerous curves

See how failure to take their OCD meds result in the dismantling of the engine…just to detail it!

And see how Craig re-paints, re-plates, and repairs even the smallest of defects.

Will the job be insurmountable?



Will they be able to complete the restorative detail in time to ship the car off to Monterey?



Will their Obsessive Compulsive Disorders draw them into a shell of themselves to where they’ll never be able to return?



Stay tuned to see the spectacle that auto enthusiasts will be speaking about for many years to come…

Thanks Bob. With all of the angles, curves, and hidden places you have areas where you can get 95+% correction, whereas others you're happy to get even 75%. Lots of hand polishing too! I used a 5.5" pad on most of the hood and roof, and 4" spot pads for the rest of the car (can you say labor intensive?).



And with the thin edges, I found plenty of "history" where other detailers had roamed before in the past.



As of now Craig and I are scheduled to go out to Monterey with this car next month, but I won't consider it a done deal until I'm actually on an airplane. If I do make it, I'll be sure to get in touch so we can meet up.
