Ferarri 430 Spyder

[Serious Performance]

Well, wally here forgot to take any before and during pics but, the car was in great condition already, We’d been asked if we could give it a once over to remove as many of the swirls, marks as possible that were on the paint made over the last year through general washing etc.

Process:

Pre-washed with Duragloss 901 CWC through a Gilmour
Washed with Duragloss 901 CWC using SP Sheepskin Washmitts
Clayed with Sonus Ultrafine Clay and Poorboys Spray & Gloss QD
Dried with Aquatouch Large FBZ MF Towels
Polished using Poorboys SSR 2 on a Meguiars Polish Pad at speed 5 on the PC
2nd pass with Four Star Swirl Remover on a SP Finish Pad at speed 5 on the PC
Cleansed with SP Paint Cleanser
Sealed with Duragloss 105 Total Performance Polish.
Engine bay, tyres and all trim dressed with Poorboys Natural Look Dressing

Anyway, here’s the afters… We didn't go mad to get every single mark out as the paint was soooooo soft but, managed to get most of the swirls out but, a few heavier swirls and marks remained which we agreed we’d leave for now… Overall very happy with the results.

Very nice detail there, the reflection on the vehicle is really nice and it's so glossy. The pictures look great.

Thank you for sharing and that is one fine detailing. The vehicle is gorgeous, must be a real pleasure to detail such a beauty.

Question for you, did you do the interior? Just wondering oh and any pictures of the engine compartment?

Went to the launch of the F430 at the Paris Motor Show and fell in love as soon as I saw it, not driven one yet but I'm told they blind the 360 which is a serious piece of kit! Nice work mate!
