We`re working on a few extensive restoration projects at the moment, one of which is called Project Scuderia Restore. It`ll take a weathered Scuderia and transform it into a display-worthy finish. Here`s a snapshot peek ;-)

We`ve been working on several intricate detailing and restoration projects, one of which is Project Scuderia Restore. One of the most common issues facing Ferrari 430 Scuderia owners is the premature degradation of the carbon-fiber components within the engine bay.
Essentially a manufacturing defect which occurs after some significant mileage has been clocked, the carbon-fiber components begin to lose it`s clarity, turning to a high opacity off-white finish that significantly affects the aesthetic value of the vehicle. Here are some before-shots for reference:
After an entire 2-weeks spent removing the damaged topcoat of the carbon-fiber monitored using a CF-specific paint thickness gauge, we ordered a custom urethane top-coat system and carefully layered the carbon-fiber pre-preg materials. An exhaustive detailing regiment was then utilized to bring out an extra-high-gloss finish with amazing depth. Enjoy the photos ;-)

Thanks guys!
We recently detailed the new 991 Carrera S which is amazingly in it`s seventh generation 911 reiteration! That is certainly an unmatched feat for any supercar manufacturer in history. Aside from the larger wheelbase, an updated PDK(or Porsche Doppelkupplung if you were wondering)*gearbox and new handling tweaks, the 3.8-litre flat-six engine has also been tuned on the Carrera S to 395 horses.*
The 991 has grown noticeably larger in dimensions but my personal favorite are the extremely low-profile rear tail-lamps which look absolutely sleek!
We spent a week detailing the brand new 991 to burnish the paintwork to a brilliant shine and to eliminate paintwork imperfections. The paintwork, wheels and windshield was then treated with our all-weather hydrophobic Endurance® coating system for a fuss-free all-year long protection.
Here`s a peek at the 991`s detailed power plant...
And here she is in the company of the other supercars...
Possibly the best angle on the new Carrera S!
The headlamps and daytime-running lights were also wrapped in our popular 6-mil thick stone-chip protection film to protect them from the constant gravel issue on Malaysian roads.*
Hope you enjoyed the photos! ;-)

God! This thread never ceases to produce awesome stuff! I am absolutely jealous of that shop, its customer and everything else about it! That light room is probably the coolest thing.
Wow, super awesome!

Macdude, I`m a big time perfectionist while Im working on my clients cars but your teams work really has raised the bar. I`m excited you`ve been blessed to pursue this adventure and really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share with us your masterpieces.
Thank you everyone for checking out the thread!
We finally completed Project Scuderia Restore which spanned through an exhaustive 16-weeks. It began right from the beginning with a bare-metal restoration of the bodywork. It had lacked the proper gloss and the grainy textured-finish was the result of a previous repaint using a poorly skilled painter and a lackluster paint system. We dedicate a lot of our time restoring the aesthetics portion for Ferrari`s and the goal of this particular project was to achieve a better-than-factory finish for the paintwork. We paired PPG®`s Hi-Solids Clear-coat with a Nero Daytona base coat mixture that came from our supplier`s tinting lab. This ensures that it is extremely accurate to the colour tonality of a factory Ferrari.
The engine had a phletora of carbon-fiber components which were restored and explained previously.
The paintwork finish was then placed through a combination of our wet and dry-sanding program using Mirka®`s Abralon® series of sanding pads which flattens out the orange-peel texture of the fresh paintwork. The reflections are razor-sharp and have a remarkable mirror-like finish.
A set of lightweight spacer and bolts were fitted to the Scuderia to widen the tyre profiles for an improved flush with the wheel arches.
Several sections of the leather upholstery were damaged and was then repaired/replaced including the cowling on the dashboard. The carbon-fiber goodies inside the cabin was also detailed to our signature finish providing a contrasty deep, matte leather surface with the mentioned high-gloss CF-trim. The rest of the cabin was then detailed to perfection.
A set of matte-black stripes were custom-measured, cut and fitted in-house to provide a more subtle identification to the Scuderia.
Undeniably one of the best angles of the Scud...
The remarkably impressive engine bay was given a fresh new lease of life with the carbon-fiber components restored to a better-than-factory finish.
Here a synergy of high-gloss carbon-fiber components and a deep, wet paintwork finish flows together in perfect balance.
The wheels were refinished in a darker shade of gunmetal and given the matte-treatment.
Absolutely subtle-match of wheels and thrills...
Here`s another look at the matte-gunmetal wheels!
Hope you enjoyed the photos and the restoration of the Scuderia! ;-)

The pics are magazine quality, love the finished shots but you guys should also be showing the work done to get to this level of "Tightness".That would be great imo.
