Got a call from the owners assistant about taking care of this fellows 4 vehicle stable. (more to come soon) Originally, he had a previous "detailer" come out and try his hand on cleaning this monster up. Unfortunately, the most the previous one did was simply wash and wax it when the owner wanted a correction done. After 3 attempts by 3 different detailers, he found my information and discussed the importance of quality over quantity. I discussed some packages and what was done previously and I let the owner know that the previous detailer(s) one hour and a half job (TOTAL TIME) was about how long it take me to decon the vehicle. Once completed, I had him come inspect it and he was literally blown away at how much better it looked and that it was "better than new". He even went inside to grab his wife to have her come look and the first thing she said was "how did you do this without any water?" So I went on to explain and she was impressed just as the owner was. Needless to say, I have another new client :cool: Enough of me blabbing, on to the pics.

Exterior:

  • ONR with a ton of CG MF's.
  • Speedy Prep towel - medium
  • Wheels/barrels were hit with ONR and wheel specific black MF towels for the faces, and Daytona Wheel Brush for the barrels
  • Wheel wells and rubber were hit with APC 5:1 & various brushes
  • Tires dressed with Show Room FX White Pearl
  • Wells treated with CG Bare Bones
  • D300 Meguiars MF Cutting Disc 5" and 3" (griots 3" polisher)
  • CarPro Eraser
  • D301 Meguiars MF Polishing Disc 5" and 3" (griots 3" polisher)
Interior:


  • Meguiars QID for all surfaces
  • Meguiars Perfect Clarity on all windows (interior & exterior)
  • APC+ 10:1 on a single spot on the carpet (not pictured)
  • Dry brushed and vacuumed

The owner originally thought that the red valve covers were faded and needed repainting. (I'm assuming he didn't pop the lid very much...and ironically his wife asked me how I painted it lol)

Some of the smaller markers,moldings weren't masked due to their being a clear bra on a good majority of the car and that wasn't polished.

So that's where I parked my car... thanks for finding it for me!

Great job! Glad the real owner was impressed!
 
You did a fantastic job! Your work is second to none:)
 
Great job indeed! I did one recently as well, the sound and beauty on this car is untouchable! Great work!
 
That engine bay does look good. Hot car
 
Nice work! I don't know how you'd let that car get in that bad of shape. Well now you'll never let it look like that again. Looks like you have another customer for life, and that's what it's all about.
 
Beautiful car and amazing work
totally agree! Thanks, Zach!

So much awesomeness right there! Nice work.:dblthumb2:

HAHA you and I think a lot alike! He was very pleased with it and ashamed he paid three other guys to come out and try to do what I did. I educated him long and good.

That's an understatement! This are amazing machines!

That's what a Ferrari should look like. Great stuff.
AGREED!

Nice job man, the car looks brand new!
Thanks bro!

beside the interior, that was my favorite part!

I wonder the same but he owns his own company and is always on the go from what his assistant tells me.

Thanks everyone!
 
How'd you get all those nooks and crannies clean and dry in the engine? Did you use ONR there as well?

Daytona Speedmaster jr brush, MF's, various small brushes and yes, ONR

Great job! I wonder what else is in the stable....


'12 Range Rover

'13 Porsche 911

'12 Infinity QX56

I'm pretty sure the RR will be receiving OptiGuard along with the Ferrari once I go back. This weekend I have 6 Optiguards scheduled. :buffing:
