Hi guys back again after a long break !

Lamborghini and Ferrari Sydney Detailing Trip part 3

Well guys , this is the other car that i detailed after the LP 670 SV !

As you will see from the following photos the amount of work that went into the Engine Bay which was dull and oxidized !

One whole day was spent just for the engine bay alone ! This was a back braking job !
I could have spent 4 days on this Ferrari but the owner allowed me 3 days, but in the end he admitted that i should have spent an extra day go figure !

So on with the detail .

I called it a day as my back was killing me leaning over the engine bay with my Flex DA and Mini Metabo RO.

Day two


Bright and early to get as much work done on the paint work as possible, i only had one day left so i was timing myself !


All areas of Carbon Fibre were polished using a small Random Orbital Polisher since an attempt at hand polishing was a complete waste of time !
The only exception were very small areas on the center console which required hand polishing and later sealed with AutoGlym High Definition Wax which was also used in the engine bay !

Pinnacle and AutoGlym were used for the Leather

and you know how times flies when you are having fun !




Paint Correction in progress
Mothers Professional line of Polishes were used to correct this Ferrari Challenge Stradale with my Festool Rap 180 Rotary and my Flex XC 3401 VRG DA polisher with a combination of Lake Country's Foam Wool Pad and CG Hex-Logic 6.5" pads from Orange , Green , and White to refine the paintwork !

With the paint correction all done it was time to apply three coats of Swissvax Crystal Rock over two days .


Here are the final results please enjoy !

Very nice! What did you use on the perforated tail panel?

PS: Flying in to Brissie in a couple of weeks to see your mighty Cats take on my hapless Lions. :)
 
My favorite Ferrari until the 458 came along... Great job Mario!
