This is one of the most elegant Ferrari's I ever detailed. It came in loaded with tree sap. After careful inspection of this car head to toe, I must say its one of the best. Definately one of the widest Ferrari's on the road. I never saw leather seats like this, I think the cow in still in the car. Real raw hide. The sap came off with clay bar no problem. The owner wanted me to get out a scratch which didn't come out with the high speed. So I had to wet sand, something I generally don't like to do on exotics. It came out though (thank God) shine came back nicely. Didn't get to drive this other than backing it out of my shop, sounds like a 747. Probaly flies like one to. Gary

True story on this car. The Customer calls me after he picked it up, and said He noticed a shadow on the hood, no problem, I told him to being it back. So came over that night and I did see a real light shadow, in the corner of the hood, like it was a little darker in one spot, and you could see the outline. I figured it was just the sealant that might of hazed it, so I did QD spray, no effect. Went to a polish, nothing, then a paint cleaner, nothing., By this time my forehead is getting wet, and I was starting to sweat. I brought out the cyclo with light cut, still nothing, (Man I thought hear comes my first insurance claim and its on a $200,000 car!!!!!! Now I'm nervous. I thought perhaps it was under the clear coat, unusual but possible. My last straw was the high speed. IT WAS STILL THERE. Then the owners tells me hmmmm, thats just where they fixed the scratch, what I said? what scratch, well, before I bought the car I told them to repair a pretty deep scratch there. THAT'S IT!!! They color blended the hood, thats why I couldn;t phase it with any chemicals. If the owner didn't mention that fact I bet I would of been on the hook for this. That was a close one. Gary[:0][B)]
