Ferrari 599 GTB paint correction
Its been a while since I have posted here. This owner has been a Ferrari owner for a number of years now. He got in touch with me after being referred by a friend. After reviewing the paints condition, I had to teach him some better ways to wash the vehicle. 
He does enjoy washing and waxing the vehicle himself so he enjoyed the pointers.
This customer received paint correction which took me 20+ hours for this particular vehicle. This car is huge! It wasn't that fun using the rotary on the extremely wide and long hood. Either way it was a great experience and a pleasure to work with such a beautiful exotic.
Upon arrival:
Washing Process
After the vehicle had been washed and clayed, it was time to inspect it in the sun
After playing around with a few combo's, I found the right combo that did the trick. In this next picture, the uncorrected part is in the middle, and each side has been correct.
After working more on the car it started getting overcast (as usual), so no more outdoor shots

Moving on to the interior
Waxing the carbon fiber trim
Finished Interior Shots
Finished Exterior
And one final shot with Enzo looking over my work in the top left
By the time I was completely finished it was midnight, so I couldn't do any outdoor afters. He said he wanted me to come back once winter is over so I will have the opportunity for more pictures then! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. As always I enjoy comments. Thanks for looking!

If you notice swirl marks on vehicles like i do, you would not have been able to miss them. Obviously when detailing exotics like these, they are going to be cleaner than the average car, its the paint correction they are mostly concerned with. He has only had the car for one year at the time of the detail, so I think the swirling was pretty bad. Chamois are a no no, which is what he was using. Stick to microfiber drying towels.
