This detail was completed a while back at Bobs shop in NorCal. Brand new 458, spec'd beautifully in need of full paint correction.
Typical Ferrari factory issues all over the car, not the worst 458 he or I have seen but definitely not the best, this detail was carried out over the course of 3 days
Some shots of the finish, something about all that does not scream $300k car..
50/50s Quite a visible difference in color and clarity after the compounding stage, more room to brighten all that up later
Bob chasing nasty spots like this with the Rupes 75.. I finally upgraded my air supply so mine is coming soon (Thanks Phil!)
Working the skirts with a griots and Rupes pad..
Some nasty stuff down low... bumpers, wings, side skirts etc is where you will find a lot of heavy damage on cars like these. Same goes for Astons and Porsches
Before
After
Correction work continued on the interior carbon also, poorly finished too
While uploading these on PB I checked out some old writeups, heres a quick look back to 08' when Bob and I first did some Ferraris together at his old shop..
Fast forward 5 years! Final polishing - this car want not to have any LSP applied instead it was heading to get a full wrap post detail. We took considerable extra time to finish down the paint and extract as much from it as possible..
Tiding up engine bay and jambs
