ACDetailing and Auto Concierge: 1991 Ferrari F40

This was another collaboration between Bob from Auto Concierge, and myself. This is probably going to be one of the highlights of my young detailing career! It's a 1991 Ferrari F40. The owner just bought the car about a month ago, and he bought it with only 2600 miles on it!!! But this car was meant to DRIVE. So the owner didn't want a full on concourse detail with it, and why, you may ask? Why not go all out on a $500k car? Well because this bad boy's going to the track next week. That's right, the owner's going to do what it was MEANT to do... RACE!

20 Man hours later...

Wash:

Exterior:

DIC-20
Microfiber mitts
200mph leaf blower
P&S Citrus Shampoo
Stoners Tarminator

Wheels/Tires:

Stoners Tarminator
CG Wet Mirror Finish
PRC Polish
P&S Natural Finish Tire shine

Engine Bay/"Trunk":

P&S Envro-Clean
Stoners Tarminator
CG WMF

Correction

Body:

105 via Foam compounding Pad and Flex Rotary
3M UF via Finishing Pad and Flex Rotary

Lexan:

3M UF via 3" finishing Pad and Metabo
CG WMF via hand

Interior

RIGID Shop Vac
PRC Glaze on Windows
DIC-20 on windows
P&S Interior Cleaner

LSP:

Swissvax Concorso


When I first arrived in the morning:













Condition of the wheels:







Working in the WMF and PRC:



Finished!:






Looking decent, eh? Getting ready to crawl in to the engine bay:



Working the WMF on the lexan:







The master working the paint:







What the hell am I doing down there?



Getting every nook and cranny, that's right!







The whole body is made out of Carbon Kevlar! So sexy!!







Priming the pad with Concorso. I can not tell you what clearity, depth, and slickness the concorso gave the Ferrari. It just brought it to the next level for sure:

The sweetness all finished!











SWEET Interior. The interior is simply timeless. It may be out dated, but it's still simply amazing:






We couldn't pull it out of the shop, as it was awaiting clear bra (also why there's no real pics of the hood, because it was all messy from the clear bra). So just to prove no swirls!:




That's all guys! As always, C/C Welcome!

Thanks guys!

Sam, as far as the shop, it was getting a clear bra done right after the detail, so we detailed it at Premier Protective Films in Fremont at their shop.

What a beautiful machine, I love how simple the interior is. I have been looking into getting a flex and after this thread I think I will have to purchase one.
