Finally some good weather and a Ferrari to detail
Ok guys this is the first write up for 2007!
Full Exterior/and quick interior detail of a 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS Red/Tan
My customer is putting this one up for sale at $55k car has 14k original miles! [up]
Here was the process used:
1. Wet down wheels and sprayed some P21S Gel on them, let them sit
2. While the P21S was sitting on the wheels I proceeded to wet down the engine
3. After I spritzed some P21S Autowash on it, brushed/agitated the dirt and then wash down the engine. (carefully lots of delicate parts to avoid on this baby)
4. Let the engine run for it to dry out.
5. Went back to the wheels used a Boars hair wheel brush to clean out the wheels and tires. Used a wheel brush to get in the spokes, rinsed them off.
6. Rinsed down the car
7. Used some 1Z perls shampoo and the shmitt to wash the car.
8. Used the flooding method to rinse off the soap.
9. Sprayed some Adam's Detail Spray prior to drying the car.
10. Used a waffle weave drying towel to dry it off.
11. Used some Adam's Detail Spray as a clay lube to clay the car. Clayed the car with Adam's Clay bar. After each section was clayed I dried the excess clay lube. (I personally prefer to do this then to leave the clay lube on)
12. Went back to finishing off the engine, used some Adam's In and Out as well as Adam's VRT.
13. Then I dressed the Louvers, Roof, weather stripping, and Tires.
14. Brought the car into the garage and started to test the paint to see what would work best. (this car had no clear coat so the oxidized/dead paint came off on the towels and pads, check out the pics you will see what I mean) paint without clear coats have so many highs and lows its especially hard to get the paint leveled out to get rid of all the scratches and imperfections.)
15. Decided on using Menzerna Super IP mixed with Adam's Revive Polish.
With this mix I used my Metabo hi-speed with the Adam's Orange/Green pad used it with speed 2 to 3 1/2. It funny going from clear coat to non clear coat paint and getting use to it was a challange but quite rewarding after you slowly see the paint correction.
16. After the paint was corrected I went on to using Menzerna PO106FF to clear up some of the light scratches and to clear out some of the haze.
17. Went on to clean the windows interior and exterior
18. Did a quick wipe down on the interior.
19. Cleaned up the dusting and did a final wipe down.
Okay so here are some of the before and after pics, my pictures aren't that great but you will get the point. Enjoy.

After the wash, wheels were dressed, car was clayed, engine was done etc.

The car looked good under natural light but once I brought it in OMG!

If you take a look at the right side of the hood you will see that the car's hood is unclear and very scratched up! If you look at the left side the correction has started!
Again my picture skills are the suck I'm sure I will get better or I'll take a ton more pics and something will come out good [

Take a look at the pad its RED, all that is dead/oxidized paint.

Re: Finally some good weather and a Ferrari to detail
Nice job Phil, seeing the car sitting at KMD for some time now it surely came out 10 times nicer than it was.
BTW....there is the DBR allroad sitting right there that needs some TLC.....I mean, while you are at it already ;-)
