I don't have any BEFORE pics of this car only AFTER shots as many times I am far too lazy or disinterested in taking pictures, whether before or after......so we have only AFTER pics and those were for the owner who wanted some emailed to him.







Ron joined me for the last 3 hours of this detail which was mainly on the exterior, a total of about 8 hours with no engine detail.





After the correction process, which was:



Lambswool and Hi-Temp Extreme worked with Metabo @ 1500 rpm's



LC white pad and beta Optimum product @ 1200 rpm's



Blue finishing pad and beta Optimum product at various rpm's



Cyclo with beta finishing product.





We then applied 2 coats of the Optimum coating to the entire vehicle, including wheels (I later removed and wet sanded each wheel and I then applied the coating to each wheel). The 2 applications where about 30 minutes apart.





Instead of tire dressing I steamed the tires clean from all the gunk on there from the previous owner and the new owner said he preferred the "natural" look to a dressed tire so we left it at that.



Interior was steamed, vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned. Optimum protectant plus was used to condition the interior.





This recently had the after market NovaTech exhaust removed and OEM re-installed but he kept the NovaTech rear diffuser which looks pretty cool.



Hope you enjoy the after pics.

Hey thanks tdekany.......



It will be some time yet, they are in early stages. The coating is close from what Doctor G. tells us but waiting for some input from beta testers.



To avoid issues people are better sending me a PM when asking about Optimum products as I do not want this to be seen or viewed as a commercial type of post. Thank you.



It's difficult posting up stuff at times in my case as I have a close working relationship with a few companies so I only want to post up things which are along informative content so my mention of Optimum, Hi-Temp (TOL) and/or Cyclo should not be seen as spam but rather products and tools that I use on a daily basis, at least I hope it comes across like that.



Thanks,

Anthony

Anthony, those look like 20" Novitec wheels, are they? BTW, the coating you mentioned is the long lasting one that is almost like adding a coat of clear?..

Hey great eye! Yes those are the Novitechs and they were in bad shape which is why I had to remove them and wet sand them. They had paint over spray all over the interior areas and it made cleaning them a PIA! My mf towels caught on the heavy over spray so I couldn't really clean them well. Now they are much better but some areas are still rough.

Thank you. Yes that rear diffuser is very slick but I am sure glad he got rid of the exhaust. It had an ear piercing note at start up:hairpull It would of woke the dead.



Come to find out that after he had the OEM exhaust replaced he actually gained hp:up

Nice job Anthony. FWIW, Lambo's are SpYders and Ferrari's are SpIders...

Hey thanks Todd. Yes, officially that may be true yet one can find both spellings, even at various dealerships yet as you noted, that the main distributors spell them differently.

Great job. I actually hate the look of that rear diffuser and the idea of getting an after market exhaust.



Why spend so much on something as exquisite as a Ferrari that was heavily tested in a wind tunnel than try to alter it's aerodynamics? But just my $0.02.

Painting the diffuser body color did not help, gives it a cheaper look however the Novitecs are not cheap $$$$$$$ could use a 20mm drop as well(listen to me nitpicking I would roll that car all day) great correction Anthony, as far as you spamming I think people should read what you used and come to their own conclusions based upon your reputation and what the pics show which is proper correctional work displayed as everyone here has some sort of alliance or affinity to some product line in one way or the other.

:werd: Anthony uses a wide range of products, just as most of the rest of us do. While we all probably have a product line or two we prefer, especially when it comes to paint correction, it is really hard to stick with just one company's products.
