Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Detailed - AbsoluCarCare

Post by N3mo »

Had the pleasure of detailing this beautiful Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. I first did an inspection 2 hours after it was picked up from Viglietti motors two months ago and was quiet shocked at the finish. The car looked shiny but under the LED lighting in the driveway, the paint looked hazey, there were sanding marks in tight corners, pig tails from polisher, wax residue in corners and on the badges as well as buffer trails on the rear. Ferrari are well known for not finishing their paints well from factory and also the car is polished when it reaches SA before its posted to the dealer and then given a "detail" before the customer collects it. The owner told us to do what was needed to correct the defects but please take care of certain areas as hes seen some Ferrari paints been burnt before. We assured him that he left the car in the right hands to detail and he has nothing to worry about.

Detail :
- Wheels washed with Auto Finesse Imperial, wheel woolies and detailing brushes
- Wheel wells washed with Auto Finesse Verso, fender brushes and wheel woolies
- Tail pipes cleaned inside out with Auto Finesse Verso, Wheel woolies and detailing brushes
- Badges, rear diffuser, front splitter and tight areas cleaned with Auto Finesse Verso and Detailing brushes

- Two stage Paint correction using Scholl concepts & RUPES bigfoot
- Pre Sealant cleanse using Auto Finesse tough prep
- Sealed using Auto Finesse Power Seal and allowed to sure for 3 hours
- Two coats of Auto Finesse Illusion show car wax applied an hour apart
- Door Jambs polished with Auto Finesse tripple then waxed using Auto Finesse Passion
- Engine Carbon bits polished with keramic gloss then sealed with power seal
- Wheels / Calipers sealed using Auto Finesse Power Seal

Nicely done Naeem

The condition of the paint from Ferrari is truly shocking - their sanding leaves a lot to be desired and I even came across some complete strike-throughs on the 458 I detailed :bang:

It's shocking, but then again they are polished twice before it reaches the owner.

Viglietti uses some real muppets to polish their cars.
I am sure the strike through was not out the factory but resulted from some local polishing.
Yeah you will see sanding marks and a few pigtails from sanding.
one of my customers took delivery of a brand new 458. literally drove it from the dealer to his place before I got to it.
Idiots at viglietti polished it using a wool mop :bang: ...ended up doing a full correction detail...

I second that.. You would think that Ferrari would use nothing but the best.
