Adonis Detail - Ferrari F430 Paint Correction with Lucci Elite Detail

[TimAD]

I teamed up with Lucci Elite Detail in OC to work on this detail a while back, enjoy the write up!

Ferrari F430 Paint Correction in for:
-Full paint correction
-Interior detailing
-Engine bay detailing
-Swissvax Concorso application

This car was booked for a full correction after a front end clear bra was installed. It was a pleasure working on such a beautiful machine. In total it took about 14 hours to dial this car in.

Wash Process

Paint Before Correction

All Paint surfaces were polished out. Even the door jams and behind the seats!

Rear cowl after final polishing but before LSP

Engine dialed in as well

The paint surface after 100% correction was achieved. Notice the sharpness and depth of the paint!

This shot shows the rear seat panel corrected out.

Swissvax Concorso was then applied as an LSP

[custmsprty]

[Gsrjake]

whats so special with that wax and not use a coating like cquartz finest or opti coat pro?

 

[Pureshine]

Wow! Great work I was wondering why you guys didn't coat with something other than wax?

 

[Sicoupe]

Just awesome work!

Thanks! We used a foam cannon and Meguiars Hyper Wash for the wash stage.

Good question! Most of the jobs I do now are either CQuartz Finest or Opti Coat Pro. This client in particular asked specifically for Swissvax Concorso to be applied to the vehicle. Even after going over the differences between a wax and coating the client preferred to stick with Swissvax. Swissvax products were also used for the interior, trim and engine bay as well. Polishing stages were carried out with various Menzerna and Meguiars polishes.

Gorgeous work (as always!)... that car is an instant classic. Love the F430.

You guys know your stuff! At first I cringed when I saw the picture of the guys hand on the paint but seeing the finished product I think you did an excellent job.

Thanks Tim! As far as the Lance, do you which one? I've had my share of so so lances. They may look the same but don't work the same.

So if you corrected the paint after the clear bar was installed how does the paint look while uncorrected under the bra? is there a noticeable difference?

I ask because I'm about to correct my car but a clear bra was installed before correction and I'm debating if I'm going to take it off first or not.

The lance was a MTM Hydro foam cannon.

It depends on what film you use. This particular car has Xpel ultimate which covers minor defects that were on the front end.

Great job guys, nice job on the panel behind the seats. So many times people just hand job those and they don't pop as much as yours does. Good job on trying to convince the customer to switch to something more permanent than the Swissvax. Nice wax but gone in no time. Overall Great job and good write up

Great job! The red is super glossy and deep. I'm sure the customer was very happy. Keep up the good work.
