2011 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti I got a referral for this pretty much new 2011 Ferrari Scaglietti to prep the majority of the car for film application. The goal was to get the paint to be wrapped 100% flawless. With under 1500 miles, the car had not been exposed to the elements much, but improper washing had left the paint looking a little rough.
Upon arrival at client's home
Bird dropping that left etching in the clear coat. Compounding would take care of this and remove the etching.
Beautifully finished wheels only needed a light cleaning
The bugs had also left some etching in the paint but was polished away.
Foaming and washing
All clean and ready for claying
Claying done with Optimum No Rinse and Blackfire Poly Clay
With a high level of correction desired, measuring the paint is a must. Healthy readings through out the car
Various swirls, RIDS (random isolated deep scratches), and factory sanding marks...
......factory sand scratches

After compounding the front end with the GG 6" DA with Meguiars MF cutting disc and D300/M101. Final polishing to follow...
Compounding on the hood
.....getting there
A few deep scratches
Hood compounded, fender not done yet.
Compounding the fender
Left side of the emblem compounded, right side yet to be done
A few obligatory interior and engine shots on this amazing machine
Finished pictures were in the garage as the owner had requested it stay indoors.
Thanks for checking it out! Hope you enjoyed!

The earbuds are from JVC, about $15 and the best sounding ones I've ever used and fit comfortably (6 sets of custom ear foam tips) and block out a TON of noise. Dr. Dre Beats sound "crisper", but these have more bass and are way cheaper. I've used Sony, Skullcandy, Bose, Beats, Logitech, etc. These are by far the best.
Thanks! She takes very good care of it for not knowing anything about cars. Its starting point is excellent. The finished product should be astonishing.

Nice work! That thing has about as much orange peel as f bodies do from the factory lol.
Question, do you use ONR at clay dilution ratio or quick detailer dilution? I've been using it at quick detailer ratio for claying cause I feel like the paint is less prone to marring from the clay.

Awesome work. I love Ferrari interiors. They amaze me every time. Even the older style cars are styled well and advanced for their time.
I'm sure you can speak on this much better than I can, but it seems that "most" exotic car owners just don't give a crap about their cars. Some cars I see locally are detailed poorly, and the finishes are bleh. I mean, if you have the money for a 'couple hundred thousand dollar' car, why not spend a 'few' hundred every couple months to keep up with it? It's like owning an Enzo Ferrari, but not changing the brakes because it costs $10k to do it. Haha.
Anyways......props on the work. You inspired me to get all the proper equipment to do my own cars after following the massive detailing thread.

Well have no worries and be patient. Meguiars just announced it will be sold here soon. Same formula, same bottle, same branding, same everything. $58/ 32oz which is 30 bucks cheaper than what I paid to have it shipped here. It's definitely worth its weight in gold though.

Thank you 
Most Ferraris I've worked on have had very little orange peel, but this one definitely needed additional wetsanding. I use ONR at the quick detail dilution. However, once I'm out of ONR I'll be switching to Meguiars Final Inspection for clay lube.
Thanks! And I'm glad to hear you were inspired to get so into your own cars, that's exactly why I started that *now* massive thread.
But yes, some owners are like that....others just inherit the problems of careless previous owners and/or dealership detailers hacking things up.
Thank you sir!
^ Truth! I was so excited to see Stoops announce it, though kinda knew it was coming after the NXT class with Jason Rose, Kevin Brown, and Michael Stoops. There is some even cooler stuff coming later as well. I scored the motherload from another detailer and scooped up a gallon for $120 shipped...I'll be set up with the pimp juice for a while. Eager for the shamrock...

I paid a pretty penny to get my quart to me. Definitely worth it.
