2011 Ferrari 458 Italia Detail & Film Install Prep
 

Brand new vehicle in the shop to finish for the entire car to wrapped in clear film via Premier, this new Ferrari had the least amount of sand scratches in the finish along with other defects so the car is much improved over previous model years along with the obvious engineering and styling improvements.
Did a thorough wash/clay as usual, and put the car on the lift to inspect what condition the vehicles paint finish was in.

Although the finish was nicer in most regards, "The boys from Marenello did leave sand scratches in both front and rear bumpers along with the holograms from not finishing down the paint as needed.

As I have stated before......Ferrari should sub-contract paint work to the company that paints the Bugatti or Audi......
