The one, the only....Ferrari F40!

[Anthony@MFAD]

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since my last write up, but I felt this was a cool one that needed sharing!

So this F40 was at a Ferrari service center getting some work done in order to get it ready for it's new owner. My client wanted it looking presentable, so I was to do what I could within a day. Perfection was not the goal, just as much improvement as possible.

Tools/Products used:

Wash
-IronX
-LATA
-Fine clay mitt
-CG Citrus wash

Polish/LSP
-Rupes 15
-Rupes lhr75e
-B&S green pad
-LC 3" red
-HD Speed
-HD polish
-OPT OptiSeal


Soooooo, here she is! Ready to get some lovin!

As always, started with the tires, wheel wells, & wheels.

She was then foamed up to strip & clean any old wax.

Once washed & decontaminated, we moved it into the service center to continue.
Taped what little needed areas needed to be taped, & began polishing.

Got down & dirty for those hard to reach areas.

Door jambs got polished as well.

Some before & afters.


From the hood.

Gas cap.

Door Handle area.

Driver side inset area.

Engine cover.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddd after some non-stop hours she was done!

On a side note...I was working alongside this ALL DAY!!! Such a tease!

Overall I was happy with the progress. I wish they would have wanted to do more with it, but I gave my client what he wanted!
I can only hope I hear from the F40's neighbor to want some work done on it!

Thanks for looking!

The paintwork looks beautiful.

Did the perspex cover over the engine require any treatment? Or the interior?

Wicked car! Given your constraints, you did a great job turning it around. I love this shot:

I can't even look at that LaFerrari without drooling.

I can look at the LaFerrari all day because it actually looks good

I love the design of the F40!Definitely a car that stands out. It also has some booty if you know what I mean If I ever acquire $3 million dollars this would be the car I would buy.

I use 2 pairs. 1 is Jam Transit ear buds, the other (which i prefer! Doesn't really ever fall off like the 1st) are Avantree sacool ear buds. both bluetooth & sound pretty good!

Looks beautiful! Nice work :xyxthumbs:

Thank you!:xyxthumbs:

I did polish it to at least make it look clean, but with the time i had i was not able to try & do any actual defect removal. It would not have been anywhere near the paints level of correction either way.

Thanks! Iy sure was a time crunch!
I thought it was pretty neat too!

Great job on the F40.
