Thought i'd post these up for you guys to see , these are some of the cars that we detailed in March , apologies for there not being any mazzers in there but there are a few to come over the next month or so .

This first set is of a Ferrari 612 we did last week , all in all it had 60 man hours of labour to get it looking nice , i could have spent even more time on it had the budget been available .
Most of the side panels were so badly scratched and swirled that i ended up wet sanding them back and starting from scratch (if you pardon the pun )
Wet sanding is not something that i would advise and is always the last resort when detailing a car due to the aggressive nature of the whole process , but in this case we didn't really have a choice .

The first few pics show the engine before and after it was detailed , in all honesty it wasn't too bad but hopefully you should be able to see the difference .
The rest are before and afters of the paintwork and the finished car

These next pics are of a Porsche 997 Turbo Cab , this was a more straight forward restoration detail which took in total 23 man hours to complete

Here we have a few photo's of some seats from a Ferrari 360 that i refurbished .

in all honesty they weren't to bad , no major scuffs or rips but they had gone very shiney and had lost that new matt look to them .
They took about 12 hours to do which included taking them out of the car , cleaning , re-dyeing and reinstalling

Really nice work there!!
Was the paint damage to the Ferari a result of using automatic car washes?

This Ferrari 439 spider was done earlier , it had recently been bought from dealership and had been sold with one of those "shine for life " treatments . what made me smile was how they'd applied it on top of all the swirls and imperfections , which was sort of pointless IMO , the photo's show the before's and afters , suffice to say i removed said product and did it properly

It was a combination of a few things , poor washing techniques , what looked like s side of the road hand car wash with brushes etc , some of the front end panels had been resprayed , not uncommon with a change of ownership but i think it had been re-sprayed by stevie wonder it was covered in orange peel and they had tried to blend in the sides with more wet sanding and very poor machining

This Ferrari 355 was an addition to a collection that i take care of , you can see from the photo's it was in a bit of a state , it took about 35 to put right , the first ones are of the paint correction process

The red Enzo , again had an enhancement detail, it had picked up a few scratches since it was done last , so this one took a couple of days to do.
