thanks for looking
 
Oh my god.. That poor Ferrari, I thought the car was gray.
Great turnaround!
 
Someone let their Ferrari get like that! wow...
 
thats a shame it was that bad...great turn around though
 
Great job, those wheels were just about becoming black. I've never seen a Ferrari get that bad...well actually nevermind, there's another one that was covered in a dust storm and had key scratches :p.
 
DAMN, that car looked BAD :( Poor ferrari! But it looks good now :D
 
GREAT Detail on the car! Actually, it's kind of nice to see an owner push the performance of these cars (and get us detailers some cleanup afterwards business).

I really want to comment on the professional appearance of your van. Super lettering without being gaudy...pro looking.

:whs: It's nice to see someone actually use the vehicle the way it was designed for, although I cringed when I saw the condition it was in. Great job!
 
Great job!! I think its cool to se someone use their Ferrari as it was intended to, to drive!! :D
 
I don't understand someone letting such an expensive/beautiful machine get to that point.

It is very fun to watch that kind of transformation though!!

Nice work.
 
I love it when I see expensive cars in bad shape, I just think "baller" in my mind when I see that haha.

Most F cars except the base "cheap" models (355,360,430) are always in bad shape for some reason?

GREAT JOB!
 
I wish I had enough money I could let a car like that turn to crap and not even twitch!!! But hey.... we can't all be like that, so we get to live it through other people I guess. That detailing is by far some of the best I've seen on here.... great job, love the restoration. i give it a "10"
 
Very nice vehicle and I must agree it's impresive to see the vehicle in such condition. These vehicles are meant to be pushed and I can just imagine the fun the owner must have had pushing this vehicle.

The detail was great too, I have to admit looking at the before pictures it looked bad but you sure turned it around quite nice.

Thank you for sharing oh and I agree with Toto, your van looks very nice.
 
Nice job cleaning that mess up. When I see a performance car in bad shape I don't get the impression that the owner has pushed the car. I get the impression that the owner really don't car much about the car. You can really push a car and still keep it it good shape. When you see a car in bad shape, expensive or not, it's because the owner don't care for the car. It has nothing to do with pushing the car.

I agree with that!
 
That car looked pretty beat up but the turnaround was great. Looks like this must be his beater car.
 
Beautiful work. What a turnaround on those wheels.
