ACDetailing and Auto Concierge: 1991 Ferrari F40

[imported_d00t]

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!

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:

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! :wavey

[bigluelok]

nice job looks real nice. wello at least the owner appreciates his new car and is going to do what it was meant for

[Mobilejay]

Damn thats nice man. Congrats on doing an F40, thats a sweet car.

[imported_artikxscout]

Good stuff on the car man. Where`s his shop at?

[DBC]

must be me since ive never seen it before but it was sorta weird and neat at the same time to see the rear end flip upwards the way it did.and i love the interior. as you said, outdated but timeless:cool:

[DetailersDomain]

nice work!

[imported_d00t]

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.

[imported_JoshVette]

Great work, you can really see the clearity and depth in those after shots.



Good job.

[Holden_C04]

The F40 has always been one of my favourite supercars. Great work! :)

[somebody]

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.

Thats AWESOME http://1person1million.com/img/149/r08c1006bidc/biggrin.gif

[imported_d00t]

Thanks everyone for the compliments! It was a real treat to work on the car.. just wish we could have started her up to listen to her scream!



As far as the flex, I love it too. I have a metabo and the flex rotary is not only lighter, but a lot more user friendly than the metabo. If I don`t pick up a makita soon, I`ll be picking up the flex.

[imported_Denzil]

Great job Aaron, that must have been one fun car to work on, hehe.

[Scottwax]

Awesome car! Great job on the detail too. :)
