Amazing job and great pics too, I enjoyed looking at them. I am surprised that Ferrari doesn't have better detailers to make new cars really look new. I have been to the factory in Maranello (the new one was under construction) and I have to say I wouldn't mind living there and detailing their cars, if they let me take them out on the circuit first of course.
Wow well done there Racer :druling: :druling: Now are my eyes playing tricks or do I see two Ferraris :what: Gorgeous detail, I enjoyed all the pictures, another job well done there Racer eace:
that's a shadow of the red one. i'm sure of it. amazing work on the ferrari. PO203S is a great polish isn't it?
Your attention to detail is outstanding and the results speak for themselves, truly awesome job perfecting every crack and crevice of the 430. And what better way to prove the high level or correction achieved than with direct sun shots :headbang:
Wow Rui! Congratulations buddy, that's the kind of work that people talk about! :applause: That paint was a PITA huh?
