Ferrari 355 Spider

[HighEndDetail]

This received a wash/vac back in may. Now it has the H.E.D. finish

At first I didn't think it was going to happen today. It was a little cloudy this morning, and a 30% chance of rain. By 10-10:30 the sun was comming out.
And I was on the job site. I started on the interior first.

Interior
Carpets were vaccuum'd then cleaned with folex. Leather was cleaned with a water/woolite mix. Leather was then conditioned with Pinnacle Leather conditioner. DP Interior Surface Protectant on center consol. Windows cleaned with Diamondite glass cleaner

The Gameplan
ONR was used on the exterior, since it wasn't dirty.
I chose the PC for this, with a edge2k green pad. And optimum polish with optimum compound at the same time. Then I followed up with the UDM and a white wg pad. With menz 106FF and menz finishing glaze.

Then my favorite Pinnacle product. "The Souveran"

Since the sun was beating down on me, I did one panel at a time. Wipe on then wipe off. With the cobra deluxe jr. mf

Wheels/tires
Washed with DP Extreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo. A wheel brush and the 16" deep reach wheel brush.
Tires coated in Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel























You can see why I love my job.

Bad Ass Dude! I saw one of those in my city today, didn't look no where near that one. Were is that your detailing at, I've seen that place in another one of your post, is it the same person?

Hey that is the same guy that owned another Ferrari? or two....can't remember...but I know I've seen you do this one before...either that or I've seen one to many Ferrari hahahaha

That is a nice job you did there, the vehicle looks good.

Nice job, looks great, I still like the style of the 355. But what pos car, grandmother had a 95' 355 back in the day, have to find one of the pics laying around. That car was built so sh!tty. Interior would come unglued, manual tranny was weak, we had so much trouble with it. Luckily we didn't have the crap F1 tranny, the damn pump they use, yes pump, is 15K to replace. Later models like 360 etc use a much cheaper $ pump, but I feel sorry for anyone with a F1 355 that goes in for service lol.

edit - found one of the pics, its on a polaroid, now I gotta find my digi cam and take a pic of a pic lol
