Holograms on Black Ferrari California , correction

**Cosmin** · 06-08-2010, 09:53 PM

this is not full correction even if 95% correction was achieve.first was interior: 303 protectant and some leather cleaner conditioner.

some rookie in production line practice on every panel of this car.

U got the idea
now to correction part... i start with g110 meg polish pad and 205 and didn`t work , i change with sonus polish pad and 205 didn`t work, i use first time optimum hyper polish spray and meg polish pad , didn`t work. with all this the result was still not to my expectations so i took out of bag flex DA and with 3m ultrafina combo and hit the test panels.
bumpers was the worse , so i have to do 2 tests. one on door and one on bumper.
here is the result, first 3 passes was with weight on flex , the last passes was light to ensure i do not leave any holo or haze.
all test spots was ipa spray , let sit and wipe clean.

after correction the car was pull out of garage and got some foam action (mix dawn and hyper soap) and 2 bucket wash

as protection i choose opti-seal.

and at the end a red ferrari got some onr 2 bucket wash and optimum car wax

Wow great turn around on that black ferrari!!! I can't believe they have workers that don't know how to buff properly. I mean we're talking about an exotic automobile here so everything has to be top notch. Clearly, you have provided this. Great job and awesome turnaround!

Great jobs. How awesome it would be to get to work on cars like that.

Still unacceptable for a Ferarri. Great turn around!

Amazing that these high end cars get touched by low end detailers, thank goodness they let you fix it. Just amazes me, all that money for a car and it was probably washed with a dirty bucket of water. Next time you are at any dealership walk out back where they wash them, I did this when getting my car serviced and the bucket of water they were using was black, probably same water all day in there.

Nice work Cosmin...

For everyone reading this, I met Cosmin at the Detail Class at Nick Chapman's shop in Dallas, Texas and he's one of the nicest guys in this industry you'll meet. You would be lucky to have Cosmin work on your car.

Awesome job on the black, looked like a reflection pool when you were finished with it. I have a question... why don't colors seem to pop as much on 'normal' cars, as they do on a finely detailed Ferrari for example? Is it because Ferrari uses a thicker clear coat, a different type of paint altogether, or simply because you corrected and polished the paint with surgical precision?
