Sizzle Chest:
I sometimes wonder how you can be beta testing car-care products on a $4M (M as in Million!) Ferrari. I assume you have used ALL of these beta-products before on other vehicles and know how good (or not-so-good) they are.

Any comments on the beta waterless wash??

And ,yes, we Autopians are waiting impatiently for the release of the beta chrome polish, as it REALLY shined up the chrome on this particular vehicle.
Did you remove the wheels from the vehicle?? Just curious, since they look like the knock-off spinner type rims.

I had to Google the "PF" part in this extensive Ferrari model name (my ignorance) : stands for "Pinin Farina". They are THE well-known (at least by European performance and sports car aficionados) Italian car-body design and styling firm better known by its single name "Pininfarina".

As usual, "The best cars in the world only get detailed by the best detailers in the world". This Ferrari truly reflects your detailing skills (Pun intended!)

[Sizzle Chest]

A big thank you to everyone! Appreciate the comments!

Lonnie: I do thorough testing of these products prior to using them on any client`s vehicles. I wouldn`t use anything that could be harmful or detrimental to them!

WW is actually a rinseless that can be used in a ratio for a waterless as well. So far I am liking it.

The chrome polish is very good. Easy to use and I received excellent results with it...was super happy with how the wheels turned out! They are knockoffs. Original leather mallet is in the tool kit!
