Hi all! It`s been a while since I`ve posted here, but luckily it`s because I`ve been wicked busy lately. The winter sucked butt nuggets for me as a detailer, but finally things are turning around! The boy`s at the factory did a little Californication with this one, just like the other 2 I`ve done so far, but believe me, I`m not complaining :). No "during pix" and just a small write up as I just don`t have the time right now, but I fingered most of you like the porn anyway ;)! So here`s the detail >>
When I arrived in the morning the manager had already marked the scratches that he saw with his non-detailer`s eye... he was a bit lenient to say the least :).

Eherm... there must be a machine or something that puts the QC stickers on the windows :doublesho .

Some deep scratches and tape/glue residue... why was tape on the car?

Back lid hacked to bits as usual. The back lids and a couple of other parts come from another manufacturer (fiberglass) and they`re usually the most trashed on these cars (especially the boots).

Now I`ve seen some pretty interesting things come from Maranello, but this one is just one to giggle at... they left polish residue on the body! A BIG patch of it! Now I`ve seen it in the cracks and what not before, but this? It just makes me curious about what kind of machine and what products (Prometheus Polishes I`ve heard) they`re using because it`s got a strange pattern to it and was a bit too oily to be wax, but uniform nonetheless.
