Advanced Detailing: 06 Ferrari F430

[Advanced Detailing]

My customer with the Melbourne Red M3 asked me to detail this 06 F430.
It only has 5500 miles on it but has never been taken care of properly, even though it has been garaged all the time so that helped.
It was a very cloudy day as we had a cold front moving in, in south florida that means we may have to wear two shirts
Too bad because that prevented me from taking really nice pics.
Anyway, this ride belongs to his boss who doesn't pay much attention to little details so even though it needed some paint correction, my client decided to have me just clay and wax it for now.
He will show it to the owner and try to explain it to him that we need to buff out the paint, if that happens i will do a follow up. I did take some pics showing the swirls but those were NOT taken out.

The man owns a F430 and doesn't want to get it polished out? Geez. Nice opportunity for an appreciative customer later though, hopefully. Looks good now though, nice job.

It does look amazing as long as it's not under direct sunlight.
When you live in a 10,000sq. ft. home on the intracoastal with a staff of 10 you tend not to give a crap how perfect the paint on your Ferrari is.

Some people who have whatever they want don't really appreciate what they have, while some of us would give their left xxx to own that Ferrari.

Show him the Lambo pics, maybe he will be motivated. Good job by the way! Do you have a certain clay and tire dressing you stick with or just use random stuff?

I haven't even met the owner yet, hopefully he will agree to have the car done properly.
As far as what clay i use, even though i use products that i think work best, i continue to try new ones.In this case, it was Pinnacle clay and the tire dressing is from AutoMagic.

This video was shot with the same bad batteries so it shuts off right we were about to take off again.
And i was only along for the ride so don't blame for driving too fast down a public road. He would be the one getting ticketed, even though he let me drive it later
