Runner-up best in class: 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider F1

[20jettatdi03]

We had a local ferrari show this weekend so we got a call from the owner of this F430 Anniversary Edition for us to detail it before the show. Car had 800 miles on it and almost no swirls except for on the rear of the car. We ended up getting runner-up in our class (judges said they flipped a coin)but the other car had more options. Our car was much cleaner than the other (especially all of the details, in the corners, etc.). The owner was very happy with the result as there were over 20 cars in our class.



Process is as follows:

Wash: Z7 in foamgun and 2 bucket

Clay: Z18

Polish: 83 and polishing pad via rotary and PC (in tight areas) for the rear

SFX3 and finessing pad on the whole car

LSP: Z5 zfx'd x2

Z2 zfx'd

Rims and Calipers: same as above

Tire: Z16

Leather Z9 and Z10

Interior Carbon: Z2

Convertable top: 303 HTFG

Engine Bay: cleaned with ONR and dressed with 303, muffler got megs metal polish (as did the tips)



Once the car arrived at the show it got a Z6 wipedown (including wheels inside and out, calipers, engine bay, jams, etc.) and then Z8.

Befores:

Afters (wheel wells not yet dressed):

At the show:

They had to call in an extra judge to decide the winner in our class between ours and this red one (later ruled the winner):

We also cleaned his 2 other cars. Sorry no befores but we were pushed for time.

Process was the same as above except:

LSP: Z5 zfx'd x2

Hope you enjoyed

Awesome car. Suprised they let such a new car "compete" in a show, never made sense to me...

Congrats on the win. I can see why the judges had trouble deciding on the winner..



The car looks fantastic...

Well at least you are busy. But the show was quite a bit of fun. There were over 200 cars scheduled to come but a little under 100 showed due to the fear of it raining. Overall a great show with many different cars. Maybe you can catch it next time around.



Thanks for the compliments!
