When you spend $400K, you`d expect to get more than what my poor customer did.
He just took delivery of his 2010 Ferrari 599 HGTE. It was flown over from Italy less than two weeks ago, made a brief stop at the local dealership (they had strict orders not to touch it...and they actually followed those orders), and then it was immediately brought to me for a new car prep.
I`ve worked on enough new Ferraris to realize that there`s going to be some polishing, but was not expecting what I found!
It has very severe holograms, repainted areas, poorly blended touch-up or "spot" painting, overspray all over the hood and left side of the car, d/a sanding pigtails, deep scratches, and a few burnt edges to boot! What was originally planned for a day long session will now spread out over the week.
Take a look at what I`ve got going on here, and remember, this is BRAND NEW and untouched by the dealership.

Swirls, scratches, holograms, and I don`t even know what that is in the middle!

Light reflection isn`t supposed to do that...

This is just a small section, but the entire hood is absolutely ridiculous. Crazy holograms!

Heavy overspray on top, scratches and sanding marks on bottom.

A brand new 599 HGTE, $400K. D/A sanding on said car...priceless!

The cost of these brakes are worth more than my entire car. Carbon Brembos.
