Yesterday I worked on an immaculate 1988 Ferrari 328 GTB. Everything about the car was gorgeous which makes sense because there are less than 15,000 miles on the car. The previous owner never washed it with a hose, and the paint suffered some damage from that. However, the single stage paint cleaned up nicely. The car just came out of it’s major service and now freshly detailed, this rare car is ready to get driven with pride. While I was working on the 365BB a few weeks ago the owner of the 365 was doing the mechanical work on the 328 GTB and I was in awe by the cleanliness of it on the lift. I was hard pressed to find any grease, oil, dirt or grime anywhere on the undercarriage or suspension. A truly amazing vehicle, if I must say so myself . Onto the specifics on the detail… I went into it with the same game plan as the 365BB, UDM, 4” pads and Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0. Some panels required more attention than others but nonetheless, the paint recovered nicely. The TSR3.0 left no visible micro marring so I ended with Menzerna FP85U with a finishing pad. The wax of choice was P21S 100% carnauba. Total time- 7 hours for the exterior. Naturally, nothing else needed attention on this vehicle. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Gorgeous vehicle and it looks like it's in great condition :thumb: Well done there Budman3 :appluse: Thank you for sharing...by the way 7hrs is quick, well done :applause2:
Thanks Nica. It was about 6 hours for a 2 step polish and wax after the spray wash and claying. The TSR3.0 removed the swirls and the FPII jeweled the paint ... I took my time to make sure it was done properly. I don't think spending any more time on the jeweling would result in any different outcome. But then again I haven't taken the time to spend days on jeweling before. As long as the customer and myself are happy, is what matters most .
