When I read P4 I thought "OMG!"...it's only a replica: disappointment!
But, top notch work as usual!

Re: Christmas Detail - Ferrari P4 - Move over Rudolf
nice job Mike !
i do hate old cars , you never know where will crack or the paint is barely covered, plus... body work , repaint panels , improper body work repairs, loose trims , you name it.
most old cars are restored on budget and with improper technique and is just a pain to see their finish.
this ferrari seem like a nice car all together.

Thanks Robert, I really enjoy working on SIV or Special Interest Cars. I have a video that shows the paint in the sun and in the video I say the same thing we all think as detailers when we see cars like this,
"Why are cars like this always a swirled out mess?"
Well at least that's 'what I always think because cool cars like this are almost always swirled out. As though the people that "touch the paint", whatever that includes, i.e. washing, wiping, waxing, etc. don't have a clue as to how to touch paint without putting scratches into it at the same time.
This car has some body lines that are very thin and sharp and in some places you can see the white primer where someone else has already rubbed through.

That's what I thought, it would look great in the driveway with a ribbon and bow on it.

It's very curvy and looks like it's moving even when it's sitting still...

Thanks so much for sharing
This was a quickie, I 5 steps to it and invested most of my time into the first machine polishing step as that's the most important step and the step that determines the end results.

Nice pic with the emblem splitting the two sides.
Rear window it a treat to look into, good ol downdrafts
The before and after shot above the emblem was my test spot where I proved my system approach would work. After proving the system I removed the tape and buffed this panel a second time to work out even more of the swirls and scratches.

Everything I did was basic Detailing 101 procedures using quality products and focusing on the task at hand due to the soft, single stage paint.

The paint is very glossy now as compared to how it looked before I started. The key to glossy paint is to make the paint as smooth as possible and that comes from again, the basics and in this case I used detailing clay to remove whatever contaminants were on the paint.

There were only three P4's ever built, there's a P3/4 too and all of these are accounted for from 1967.
So if a guy wants a P4 and the collectors that own the real P4's don't want to sell then the only other option you have is to build one. In this case, a car collector commissioned Noble Automotive. Here's their website...
Noble Automotive
They build their own custom sports car call the M600 which has an all carbon graphite body...
So this P4 Replica is probably a little higher build quality than what most people can whip out in their garage...

Thanks for the kind words. Truth is anyone could have have tackled this car and achieved the same results by just using basic techniques with quality products.

Thin paint is usually my biggest concern. The problem with cars this old is you never know who buffed them out in the past and what they used. Worst case scenario is someone using to coarse and aggressive of a compound and removing more paint than is necessary.
I have a term called,
Whisper thin
That's when paint is so thin on a car or a section of a car that anyone using anything is going to run into trouble. Not good.

It is actually very nice. I inspected the engine and engine compartment and everything is top notch quality about how it's all put together, no shoddy craftsmanship anywhere.
