    This is my first post in this forum!!! Hope you all like!
    I recently had the pleasure of detailing this 2006 Ferrari F430 about 3 weeks ago!

    It will be pretty quick as I didnt take to many pics... The detail was about 8-9 hours in total and was pleasure to do! It wasnt to bad off as you will see in the picks. Just some touching up and some much needed added protection.

    Got the car started off with a foam bath!!! Then on to the 2 bucket wash deal.

    After the wash we proceeded into the garage and out of the elements where I started in on the interior first.

    Before:

    After: some vacuum and dusting

    Gave the leather a mild cleaning and protected seats with Elephant Leather Preserver.
    I love that this car has a manual 6 speed.... Big Plus

    Tapped her up and corrected the paint using Megs DA Microfiber system with 3M extracut!
    After corrected I ran 2 passes with the rotary using 3M polishes.... I use 3M most of the time!!! Alcohol solution wipes in between each pass.

    Protected the wheels with Jetseal109

    Button up the motor with 303 protectant and a bit of Swissvax Metal Polish

    And as said it was going to be quick... sucks I didnt get to many shots. The correction process was done in about 4 1/2 - 5 hours and topped off with 2 coats of Swissvax Shield!

    and some After pics:
