Ferrari 458 with 22PLE glass coating

Ferrari 458 Italia
Full correction with 22PLE Glass Coating

This car belongs to a very good client of mine. He picked it up and drove it around for a while and had me do a wash and wax on it to make it look better for when his friends came into town. I put the lights on it and noticed all the deep defects and the damage all over the paint… this car had it all – swirling, scratches, RIDS, holograms. We talked about some options and decided it would be best to go for full correction and apply a coating to the car. This car will be tracked as well as daily driven, so it just makes sense to apply one of the best, if not the best, protective coating to the car…not to mention it looks better than the rest on the market!

Starting things off, here was some track damage on the paint…tar!

Total time was about 15 hours all said and done. This grigio Silverstone paint cleaned up rather well and easily without having to get ultra aggressive thankfully. Sanding scratches, RIDS, swirling was all removed and the paint was left in that 95-99% perfect condition…perfect for a track car, daily driven car, weekend toy, etc. This car will see all duties and will be done with a glassy, wet, glossy, high luster look!

3 steps of paint correction
22PLE glass coating application
Wheels and tires cleaned and protected
Windows polished and cleaned
Interior wipedown and dusted/vacuumed
Clearbra on front bumper lightly polished/cleaned up
Rear emblem removed and reinstalled

Happy Detailing
