Re: La Bella Firma by Bella Macchina (100+ pics/video)

I don't remember the last time I posted in a c&b; but this one will do it. Nice work Todd and crew. Whatever the cost it was worth it, there are a lot of little things to pick up on in the writeup - you guys did a great job.

Re: La Bella Firma by Bella Macchina (100+ pics/video)

ABSOLUTELY A MAAAAAAZIIIINGGGG!!!!!

That is.... nothing other then AMAZING will do. In another write up you did you said you would want enzo to be proud... He would be AMAZED. I doubt he would believe that it just happened. That is AMAZING.

You are my DAMN hero!

This is the care that you were talking about... i remember you saying it was taking forever but that is AMAZING! How did you match the hi temp paint to the paint on the engine covers? ALL you guys... just amazing.

I love how everything is so italian. The name of your details and all. It is SOOO great.

This is the best write up i have EVER seen. And now that i think about it... it probably wasnt the smartest thing to get the shirts in black... haha

But hey if im guna come down there soon ile keep them and bringem down with me. Give me a call when you get a free second.

I also want to know how do you find out so much about the polishes? Do you just do A LOT of testing or do you talk to menz and ask how they are supposed to be used, or what? Also, i think i saw 106 used on a metal piece of something? Wouldnt the filling go away at some point?

... BUT JUST AMAZING!!!!!


I am reading that auto week right now. The new ferrari is not up to my taste but whatever they can do to sell cars.

Re: La Bella Firma by Bella Macchina (100+ pics/video)

Simply amazing!!! But what is new. I am going to stop looking at your C&B's because they are getting to point of being depressing. It is virtually impossible to try and keep up with the work the two of you are doing.

But I have a couple of questions.

How do the two of you decide on what products to use other than polishes that cut. For example. Why did you not use Ultrafina, instead going with Menz?

Also, how come you went back to the Zaino leather products (which I am a big fan of) instead of Leatherique?

Lastly, usually you dress tires with Zaino (last Ferrari C&B). Why use Meg's this time?

Awesome write-up guys!

O......M......G!!!!!

That's the most thorough and insane detail I've ever seen! You're work is in a completely different league than what I'm capable of. Whoever the owner is, he's one lucky guy to have you guys detailing his car. Keep up the great work and please do more instructional videos and writeups. They're invaluable to noobs like myself.
