Recently completed exterior correction of this beautiful Ferrari 16M, just like a 16M I did a couple of years ago for the CEO of Monster Cable this Ferrari also had factory defects which were obscuring the potential of this incredible sportscar.



As the car looked before Daniel and I carried out the wash/decon steps.

Damn, that thing was hammered.



Is it bad that I was drooling over the Ford GT in the background of the after shots more than I was over the Ferrari? :o
 
Great work! Just curious has this one had any hairline cracking issues with the bumpers(in the composite). Work with one and it was fixed under warranty. Have seen it on others 16m and Scuderia.
 
Great job. I have a white scud coming up and customer told me it doesn't look bad to the naked eye. Im expecting the worst lol

Prepare for "Mario Bros" issues ie: Sand scratches in the tightest areas, and other shocking miscues. Once the car is corrected though it is beautiful.
 
Fantastic work as always Bob. That was hammered. cough cough I mean it looked like a brand new Ferrari when it got to you. You just did a great job fixing a brand new Ferrari ;)
 
Looks amazing, those after shots are money! :bow



What I can't understand is that if Lexus can partially wetsand their LS cars and not leave buffer trails and sanding marks, why can't Ferrari?

Too much wine at lunch....
 
Awesome work again, guys. I just don't have the words for this...the car is beautiful. I still prefer the styling of these to the 458s.
