Interior:

P&S Express Interior Cleaner

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 :down . Hologram:

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

Comment: PERFECT :bow

[autoconcierge]

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!

[autoconcierge]

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?

[autoconcierge]

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.:2thumbs: 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?

[Greggk300c]
