    Recently completed exterior correction of this beautiful Ferrari 16M, just like a 16M I did a couple of years ago for the CEO of Monster Cable this Ferrari also had factory defects which were obscuring the potential of this incredible sportscar.

    As the car looked before Daniel and I carried out the wash/decon steps.

    WOW-that is one hot F-Car. You really made it POP. You should really start recording the owners first imprtession when they see a car go from Swirl-ville to glass. Do you think he actually took deliver of it like that? If it was, that is crazy b/c my Subaru was delivered in much, much better condition, although I am short about 4 cylinders and some other stuff-LOL.

    Great trurn around, Love the carbon rejuvination.

    As always, I love Bob's results (even more than Paul Dalton's) but the automobile in the photographs that absolutely steals my heart is the Ford GT that ever so slightly makes a cameo appearance.

    Nice work Bob; the 16M is a rare car to see.

    Are you heading over to Pebble Beach this weekend like last year?

    Outstanding work Bob and Daniel. Incredible attention to detail as usual.

    Bob, is there an exotic vehicle that you have never detailed that you would love to get your hands on? It seems to me that you have touched EVERY exotic vehicle!
