The second vehicle in scenic St helena was a Ferrari California, vehicle also has some "Patina" but with newly aquired M101 we handled all defects with "The quickness".



While Jeff was buttoning up the Maserati I washed the car(With a break in the heavy rain) and here I am during the clay step.

After I clayed , we got right to it on the correction. I cycled the top down as the area under the hardtop including the clearfilm ring was riddled with marring and hard water etch.

This Ferrari had the least amount of wet sanding marks I have encountered....................but Carmine had to leave something behind(Car was built in August before the holiday probably) (lol).

Part 2 of the amazing trip to Napa....2010 Ferrari California















Resting peacefully under the cover. When it awoke, it had a sound that said "I'm ready to take on the world!" A good sound.

Side marker lights are often overlooked, but that just wasn't going to happen here!

Some issues on the hood needed sorting out...

....better

Nothing should impair the beautiful lighting these headlights deliver, so the swirls on them had to go too...

Bob handled the scratches on the wheel faces while I came in with the "camera goodness" to capture the results

Scuff near front marker light...

After application of the "scuff removal cream", it looked much better...

Since there was no sun at this time of night, or during the day in this weather, the Infratech light was used to verify correction results.

Hey, somebody's got to pick up the slack when you old fogies start to wear out :nana:
 
Excellent attention to detail right down to correction of the wheels. If a car were ever "perfect" this one would be there. I love the color interior with this exterior color. Can't wait to get some seat time in with M101 myself.
