Ferrari California
A two day visit back to one of my regulars in the Midlands.
Day 1 was spent maintaining the Porsche 997 Turbo and the Mercedes GL420. Day two, a New Car Gloss Enhancement Detail was given to the daily driven Ferrari California.
Inspection shots..
Typical machine holograms left by the Dealer prep. This car is only 5/6 months old..
The front end had been covered by PaintSheild to preserve the paint from stone chips, bugs etc etc. Although it serves a purpose, it doesnt half steal the clarity of the paint underneath. Film applied to bumper, bonnet, both wings and mirrors.
The interior would require a little attention today as what with it being a daily drive, the light coloured leather was showing signs of dirt already.
Im without any before photos I am afraid; very difficult to capture on the camera.
A design-fail on Ferraris behalf this:
Stepping up to my strongest cleaner by LTT, I was able to improve, but not fully shift the stubborn mark.
LTT Auto Ultra Foam used to clean all leather areas doors cards, dash, front and rear seats. A weak G101 mix used to clean other plastic areas that required attention. LTT Auto Ultra Protect later used to help shield the pale coloured leather.
The weather was very hit and miss today.. One minute sun, one minute blistering gales with rain.
Wheels and arches first on the exterior agenda.
Down comes the rain..
Front end covered in APC to eat into the bug-splats.
Vehicle rinsed and snow foamed. Rinsed and additional foam applied to assist my two bucket wash.
Rinsed with an open hose to aid the drying stage (there was a break in the rain at this point..) and then taken inside to start machine polishing work.
a bit cosy, eh?
Treading very carefully, I loaded the rotary with a finishing pad and Menzerna 106FA.
Boot-lid before and after:
Tailgate after:
Rear bumper before:
After:
High up on the roof befores:
And all knocked back leaving a sharp and refined finish:
