Teamspeed.com - 2007 Ferrari F-430 Spider Corrective Detail

2007 Ferrari F-430 Spider, this was my 21st 430 detail to date so I am very familiar with this make from Maranello. The owner of this car just picked it up from a local dealer and wanted the car gone through top to bottom with correction of all surfaces and the old film removed with new X-Pel Ultimate film replacing it.

Old film being removed(*Note the yellowing).
