With every one of your C&B`s, I am more and more amazed at your level of knowledge, expertise, and quality. Fantastic work. Thanks for posting such informative threads along with great videos.

I showed this thread to Bella and she approved.

So it takes you longer to do the writeup then the time some detailers spend on a car.

I miss the days of detailing a car with the guys. It was always a blast and nice to learn something from everyone.

Beautiful Work. Why mix Power Clean/Safe Degreaser/APC during the detail? Do they all clean in different means?

**Shelpster66** · 06-06-2008, 08:29 AM

Fantastic Work on another beautiful machine!!!

Kudos to you an the gang. I see you got Angelo in there too??!!

I hope to stop by and see you work one of these days.

Yeah Dainel, that would be annoying and I have instructed Brian to buy a muzzle just in case

Insane documentation( thx for pausing mid detail and taking the time to snap those pics! and capturing the video)

was nice to hear you speak in the video

Great work by Angelo and Eric and of course Brian.

the blend line fix on the bumpers was amazing as well.

congrats on a stunning detail, the owner must be over the moon!

Thanks Ken, but I feel like I should apologize for the video`s and myself babbeling on and on and on (as anybody on his forum who has spoken with me can tell you its only worse in person).

It was nice to have other people sweat inside a 100 degree garage, lol. These guys really came through and I owe them one.

Todd,

This is easily one of the most informative posts I`ve ever read on this board. As a new guy starting out, you can believe that I`ll be bookmarking this one. Truly remarkable!!!

Kudos to you and the team...The results are second to none!!!

**Eliot Ness** · 06-06-2008, 09:42 AM

Todd, not much to say that hasn`t been said. You guys aren`t detailers, you`re artists!

:cooleek:

Seriously, a great detail and a very educational thread, thanks!

**imported_ajbarnes** · 06-06-2008, 09:52 AM

Lost for words!

**AP2TUDE** · 06-06-2008, 02:10 PM

Everything you did was amazing, but the engine detail takes the cake. Stuff like disassembly and bolt and nut polishing really puts it over the top.

For about the 40th time, wow Todd...just wow.

I have showed my wife other posts of Todd`s, and told her the exact same thing...he`s an artist!

Unbelievable work, and a great opportunity for the rest of us to learn (much) more about true detailing. Thank you!!

Thank you very much. The paint was hammered on this one and I should have documented the correction more (this was the most finicky paint I have worked on in a long time and a stark contrast to the other original paint Ferraris I have done from this era. Its just hard to snap pictures when you know you have at least 10 hours (or in this case a lot more) of polishing to do.

Seriously thank you very much TSC17. MY wife would disagree and same I`m just a PITA but its all good

I have had other pro detailers ask me to give off less information because I am giving away "secrets", but I learn on this board everyday and I am glad if I can help out.

**imported_ChrisNJ** · 06-06-2008, 07:44 PM

Just to reiterate,... phenomenal detail and spectacular writeup!!

**David Fermani** · 06-07-2008, 07:46 AM

Unfrigginbelievable work Todd. You`ve already raised the bar with the level of detail you focus on and now you`ve raised it even further with this Click N Brag you created. You`re efforts are truly are unsurpassable.

"meglio conservato"
