Black Ferrari 360 modena two step correction

Ferrari 360 Modena
“Two step correction”

Got the go ahead on this one after the shop owner saw the results from the 458 Italia I did for another client of mine at his shop. Apparently no one in the shop saw the point to detailing the car given its condition, but in the end, all were amazed at the turn around! It was like looking at a new car! I would say it was in the 95% MUCH better condition overall! The clear bra cleaned up better than I thought it would, and a lot of the deep scratches (needing repaint, not even touch up paint) blending in with the look of the deeper, wetter paint and became less noticeable! Time well spent on this Ferrari 360 Modena!

Before and after shots: this was my test section to see how the paint would react…pretty flawless!

After compounding only with Megs MF/D300: still needing to be refined with one more pass with less aggressive polishing – this is where most other shops stop and just glaze and wax, but not me!

All in all, this was 10 straight hours of working to get the car into a MUCH better condition. I’ll be willing to bet the owner will more than likely take better care of it from now on!
