Default Holiday's over/Back to work

The customer that ownes this Ferrari not only wanted his car paint sealed but he wanted a slick/ deep wet look. Since he takes the car to the track I found dead bug carcasses all over the front end so I had to remove the bodies first. Using an all purpose cleaner to allow the product to soak, I then used a plastic net sponge to remove the fatalities. I used meguiars car wash soap, and clayed, and then washed again to remove the residue. Followed up with my paint cleaner and sealant (which has long been my secret to a wet look anyway) and here are the results. One thing I can't figure out is why so many Ferrari's don't have model numbers or emblems on the cars. I can't even tell you what model this is. I guess its kind of a cult, you either know (and you in) or you don't and your out. ?????

Man, you guys got your act together on exotics. I drove one with that triptronic transmission once, she is tough to get used to. Once you get it down, its with driving a rocket.
