Thumbs up Gleammachine-Ferrari Challenge Stradale.

Today took me over to South London to detail this rather nice 360 Challenge Stradale.

On first inspection it was clear it was well looked after and maintained so after a chat, a nice cup of tea and a doughnut I made a start.

Befores





Firstly pre-soaked with a citrus pre-wash and rinsed,
Alloys & Calipers treated with bilberry through a foam nozzle and various brushes which was light work due to the ceramic discs,
Vehicle foamed x2,



Washed via the TBM, Zym@l sponges and Zaino Z7 shampoo,
Dried with plush drying towels,
Clayed with Megs LT and Zaino clay,

Engine bay dried and wiped down carbon areas and glass with LT,
Stainless steel and exhaust tail pipes polished with Britemax 2 part metal polish and sealant,





Tyres dressed with Zaino Z16 and alloys sealed with Poorboys sealant,

Pre-correction





Just in time for it to start raining so moved in to what can only be described as a stunning garage with excellent lighting,

Overall defects were very light with mainly some marring and washmarks,



These were removed with 3M extra-fine on a megs polishing pad via the metabo,
Defects removed leaving only the odd RDS which were too deep to remove without compromising the clearcoat,
An Ipa wipedown given to remove any greasy residue followed by a coat of SV Best of Show,
Glass and trim cleaned,
Opti-seal applied to mesh vents and diffuser and a final wipedown with Zaino Z8.

Due to the weather outside all finished photo's were taken in the garage and with the ultra bright lights they are some crazy reflections so some came out better than others.

Results
