    1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

    I had the opportunity to detail this beautiful Ferrari 355 recently. I haven't posted a write up before, but I felt this car was worth sharing so bare with me. A couple of the pictures are a little out of focus.

    This was the condition of the paint when it arrived. Pretty much representative of the entire car.




    A couple of the interior.



    Backed it out of the garage to foam it down and give it a proper two-bucket wash.


    Pulled it back inside, clayed it, dried it, and inspected the real damage.


    50/50 of driver's door.


    Corrected scoop.


    Corrected rear quarter panel.


    Engine lid taped up.


    50/50 of engine lid.


    Tail light 50/50. Right one polished, left one not.


    Exhaust tips. Before and after.



    One last picture I thought was cool.


    AFTERS!








    I'm not sure if I was more happy the way the paint turned out after polishing or the leather after cleaning and conditioning. Either way, the car looked amazing.

    Wow, fantastic outcome. Now it looks the way a Ferrari should What products did you use for the leather. Night and day difference you achieved on the leather alone.

    I'm new to the forum and wasn't sure if I should list it because Autogeek doesn't sell their products. Is there a rule against listing other companies' products?

    Wow. Beautiful job! I can't for the life of me figure out why folks let such great cars get so far gone. Good for the pro detailers like you I guess!

    Ferrari on my list of "gotta get one someday"

    Awesome job!

    Thanks! I wish I could call myself a pro! I'm just a college kid doing this for fun in my spare time.

    I don't know the answer to your question, but they should probably look into carrying it! Great work!
