    I was asked to detail this Ferrari 458 Italia. The car has had some bodywork repairs to the front end and I was asked to perfect the paintwork on the whole car and refinish the areas which were worked on. This is how the car was when i arrived:

    The car was deconaminated and then inspected:

    Correction was done using Scholls Concepts compound and Meguiars MF system...achieving results like this:

    The paintwork was fully wiped down with panel wipe and then protected with Gtechniq C2v3...the end results looked like this:

    The alloys, paintwork, glass and trim was all protected with the Gtechniq C2v3, the exhausts treated to Gtechniq M1 and tyres dressed with Gtechniq T1.
