2012 Ferrari FF - Evolution Auto Detailing, Fishkill NY

[Eric@CherryOnTop]

OK, so last week I worked on a silver 2006 Ferrari F430 Spyder, this week I was back to work on this client's 2012 FF. This is Ferrari's front mount v12, all wheel drive, 2+2 "family car." You don't realize how big this car is until you start to do some work to it. It has about 12,000 miles on it, the client said he drove it all last winter and it did great in the snow. It looks like it has been awhile since it has been cleaned so I gave it the full spa treatment. After discussing it with the client, we decided to not do any paint correction right now with the pending winter. The client has a cabinet full of Zymol products he requested I use on this detail.

Wheels cleaned with Surf City shampoo and Wheel Woolies
Tires and arches cleaned with Megs APC+ 1:4
Car foamed, then washed with CG Citrus Wash n Gloss
Decontamination with Speedy Prep Towel
Engine bay steam cleaned then dressed with CG Black on Black
Interior vacuum
Leather 2 step cleaned then conditioned with Zymol.
Other interior trim dressed with PB Natural Shine
Paintwork polished with Zymol HD Cleanse, 7424 black LC flat pad speed 4
Hand wax with Zymol Ital (been wanting to try this wax, I liked it a lot!)
Exterior trim dressed with PB Natural Shine
Tires dressed with PB Bold N Bright
Arches dressed with CG Bare Bones
Exhaust tips polished with Megs metal polish.

I spent 9 hours on this car. Some pics:

Car as I got it:

I only used car wash soap to clean the wheels since this car has carbon ceramic rotors. I'm 98% sure that Sonax FE is safe for these rotors, but I'm not willing to bet 16 large to replace them on that 2%.

The interior on this car is phenomenal. Leather EVERYWHERE, everything is automated, a true driver's car:

Paint condition, some swirling but nothing crazy, like I said we are going to wait until after the winter to work that out:

Nice work. Looks great.

What was your camera gear?

[Eric@CherryOnTop]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Smack, I shoot with a Nikon D40x . My lens for all of these photos was a Nikor 35mm f1.8, most of the pictures are shot wide open.

Nice work pal, this one will be discontinued sooner than later. Nice engine but it will join the 456.

HA! That's funny because it does kind of look like a Veloster Im the MAN

Funny you should mention the 456, as I was working this was dropped off by the transport company from Ft. Lauderdale

It's a 2003 456, excellent condition. I got to drive it before the new owner did :righton:

awesome work eric! great pictures

[Eric@CherryOnTop]

Thanks Drew, I just need to convince him to let me put some Caranubavore on something! It's sitting in my fridge begging to be used, but he told me he's a Zymol-holic, not that there's anything wrong with that *cue Seinfeld reference*. His cars, his rules :surrender:

[SON1C]

I wouldn't recommend keeping Carnaubavore in the fridge as it's already a rather hard wax and the solvents are not volatile like most waxes so it will offer no benefit to it.
While I haven't really dealt with zymol waxes they are quite prestigious and I'm sure they are of quality so I can certainly understand why he would request it!
Haha also agree with that! His car his rules!

Very nice work! Cool car too
