Ferrari Pics

This is a 1999 Ferrari 355I Spider that I detailed today. I got to drive this sporty ride. Either I'm getting better looking in my old age, or this car really turns some heads. Total time for a full detail was 4 hours, 35 minutes. what do you think? My wife says since I got my haircut I'm getting better looking, maybe GQ quarterly will give me a call soon?

Process was wash/ clay/ wash again. (it seems the owner drove it on the track at about 200+mph and the bug juice was inbedded in the finish. ) after I removed all the contaminents I proceded to have some fun. I used a paint cleaner first with a cyclo (4 star plat) then used #7, and finished with poorboys EX. Let me tell you a little about dirving this car, it has two levers on the steering column, used for up shifting and downshifting. No clutch. It either will shift through 6 speeds automatically, or you can do it manual. Shifts are precise, and the motor sounds like a air force bomber. Two codes are needed to engage ignition, one is the drivers DNA. (kidding on that one) one hell of a machine though.

I love it. Someone who owns a Ferrari and drives it accordingly instead of using it as museum piece.

Great work by the way.

Great job on the 355! Got to love freshly polished and waxed Ferrari red! Thanks for sharing your product list with us.

BTW, what has the owner done to the engine? I wasn't aware that 355's can hit 200+ stock.
