2002 Ferrari 360 Spider Restorative Detail

[autoconcierge]

2002 Ferrari 360 in need of corrective measures I am known for, encompassing over 30 hours to bring the finish/trim/engine bay/ and lastly interior up to spec.





Heavy dirt and grime on the onset.

Client was thrilled his Ferrari was brought back from destroyed condition to tightness.

That`s what I call a resurrection detail. `It`s amazing to me that those cars come in un-finished but since I always make a point of including a follow up detail a couple of weeks later on any colorsand just to catch small flaws and double check I guess I shouldn`t be so surprised. `I know they don`t have a couple of weeks between when they finish the car and when it ships and that they probably expect a certain amount of scuffing from shipping and handling too, so again, I shouldn`t be so surprised, but still. `
