This car belongs to one of my Ferrari customers and is his frequent driver (except for snow). He bought it to the shop for a full detail prior to winter. The exterior was "ok" but lacked the sparkle of a full detail. The interior was coated in oily Griot's junk...ugh.
First off, remove the Lowenhart wheels. Nice forgings BUT really terrible inner rims! They just put a cheap primer coat on these and the brake dust was a bear to remove.
Wheels before
Meg's Hot Rims followed by APC + Liquid Soap + hot water and brushes worked.
While the wheels were off, I tackled the wells with APC + hot water, brushes and rags
Before
After
On to the paint. It had a few scratches and moderate light scratching from washing, etc.
Before
This car see's a lot of driving, so I tackled the paint with Meg's 83 on a yellow polish pad (the diamond pattern So1o pad and backing plate). That works well on my Dynabrade as well as my Festool 150 and has become my favorite set of pads. I put about 6 hours in the paint polishing process followed by Z2 and a Z8 wipedown.
Next up is a BMW for full reconditioning, then a Ford GT Gulf Oil edition.
