After: Swirls Marks and Scratches Removed

Hope you enjoyed our post! Thanks again guys. Happy Detailing...
 
ryan, you seem to use the flex DA for most all your corrections with stellar results. how do you like the flex?
 
Very nice work on a rare and beautiful car! The 275 has been one of my dream cars since I was a kid.

Yes, I love the Flex. I only use a rotary when necessary, which is typically one or 2 panels. The Flex is easy to use and powerful. Put a DA wool pad on whenever you have stubborn scratches and you can pretty much tackle any paint correction job.
 
Awesome work on one of Ferrari's all-time gems!

Just curious, was it the original single stage paint or had it been resprayed with base coat/clear coat?
 
Probably the best looking paint at that show! :dblthumb2:

Not my type of 280HP car even if V12 sounds cool ( 1960-70's Plymouth Road Runner, Mustang GT, Pontiac GTO, Cobra Super Snake, Camaro or Chevelle SS, De Tomaso, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche many got better performance-looks plus US super sport cars cost then 3,000$ ex. Porsche 356 17,500 DM or BMW 2,700$.
So 14,000$ Ferrari 275 GTB then in todays money leaves it worth 100,000$ & sells for about 1,500,000$ :laughing:
As investment it's return can be only compared to Dow Jones stocks, trully outstanding investment who bought it early but the question is if it will continue to hold the price paid at auctions or it will fall out of fashion & price will collapse. What then the buyers will feel like?
In the end I think it's uncomfortable driving noise making car compared to other classic super cars (or compared to any sport car even from today), I doubt you can sit comfortably in the cabin for 1 hour drive, when you will open the door you'll have your back bones cracking & headache for sure, noise in the ears or even vomit.
As investment, yes, it was good art buying (no guarantee it will) but as driving it's a crap.

Here is 275 GTB/4 (the first I found on Youtube I was expecting something like this watched it for 1 minute) where some old guys speak some BS blahblabla because it's worth some money at auction (it's in their interest) but people who sell such cars sit their ass in new Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar.

All in all, it's very overpriced car, nobody who bought it, enjoys driving it besides few miles to show it off : Look, I own $$$ Ferrari. There are so many 50,000-100,000$ Ferraris new & old that are fun & comfort to own & drive, not to mention super sport comfort BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar & of course USA muscle cars of any era.
I am glad you made money detailing it (did he leave you a tip$ :laughing:) but I am very sorry for the people who drive it, they are so poor.
