AutoConciergo: 2008 F430 Spyder

[d00t]

This was basically a new car prep, hardly any miles on it. Just a quick one step, and some spot compounding took care of the work. And we topped her off JUST right..

Exterior:

CWG via Foam Cannon

Wheels/Wheel wells:
P&S Brake Buster
P&S EnviroClean
P&S Spray it Spray wax/detail spray
P&S Nat.Shine Tire Shine
Wheel Shmitt
Various brushes

Polishing:
M105 via Makita+orange pad on Convertible top cover (wet sanding scratches)
Ultrafina via Makita+blaack pad " "
Gloss-It One Step Machine Polish via Flex/Glazing pad for the rest of the car

Interior:
P&S Express Interior Cleaner
CG WMF
Gloss-it leather polish

LSP:
CG E-Zyme wax

Befores:
Unfortunately none . It was early morning and the sun was still behind the trees when we started washing/claying.

During (foam cannon):





After claying, only minor hologramming was showing. I couldn't get ANY pics of the slight micromaring as they only would show in the sun, and when I remembered to pull the camera back out, the owner had already pulled the car in. I got one good picture of the hologramming that was occurring, but the rest the silver hid from my camera flash, and the camera wouldn't pick up what the halogens were showing . Hologram:



Slight hologram above my finger:



Bob spot compounding the convertible cover with 3" pads. Never seen that on a rotary, right?! :





Staging the wax:



Afters:





















As always, C/C Welcome!

Perfect except for the interior shot as it is a BEFORE pic!! Aaron......... anyway the car is really nice,very picky owners did not let us pull the car out of the garage or back in for the detail.I have a special love for the color as it was the launch color for the F-430 Grigio Silverstone.

Correction, that is an after. That's the owners foot prints after he got out of the car, and he tracked in like 3 leaves into the carpet. Also, if you're talking about the white specs on the carpet, that's the flash, look at the left side, there's white specs too. It's just so clean that the camera's flash is making it sparkle!

OH, sparkly carpet nice........... download today's 430 pics already(lol),tomorrow is going to be a loooooong day Black Cadillac Escalade in need of MAJOR correction but for a very cool customer Knick the owner of luxury4play website.

Wow this is really great work....a quick and maybe dumb question..what P&S products do you detail with? I mean a link or something im not familiar with the name

[Dkblue05]

Looks great! i do like that color
so were the owners watching the whole time? or just stopped by to move it?

[Auto Concierge]

The owners were watching.....alot,was kind of funny actually but I can understand as no one had ever touched this car and it is there first Ferrari.On to the P & S stuff they are a local company here in the SanFrancicsco Bay area,and even though thier compounds and polishes need a little improvement thier soaps,wheel cleaners and tire dressings are outstanding!! also they have a interior cleaner called Express interior that does not dry out the surfaces you use it on and has a real light pleasant smell.

Superb job first of all guys. Quick question on the P&S wheel cleaner, is it as safe as P21s to use on any wheel finish ie: chrome, painted and even cars with carbon ceramic brakes?
