    I headed down to Charleston, SC for this excellent customer. Some may remember my 5 details I did over a week last December for this gentleman. I did his Morgan Roadster, Porsche 911 widebody, 911 RS, Z8, and Heritage Ford GT. Here is some pics to refresh your memory!

    Anyways, on to the Ferrari!

    Here is what awaited me after a long 4 hour drive...

    After a quick inspection, I decided to call it a night as I arrived late Tuesday night after a Biology Lab in the afternoon. The owner graciously provided me with a place to lay my head, and some good food as well!

    After a early rise, I decided it was time to get moving!
    first hit up the wheels with P21S

    Then bath time

    Oh btw, you know how when you pack all your stuff for a mobile detail, and no matter how long you think it through , you always forget SOMEthing.
    well, in my case I thought I had it all, but you see I forgot my camera battery charger! It quit on me soon after the wash, and I had to switch to my iPhone for pics....hence, the iPhone didn't pick up on any defects hardly, This is the best pic I could get of the swirls on the phone

    can you guys see?

    here is after SIP

    thats all for correction pics as this car had to be completed in one day so I could get back to Greenville on thursday morning.

    Wax of choice is of course Swissvax Smaragd

    some finished pics outside Thursday Morning before I left; the owner wanted to line it up next to the GT.

    wheels finished down with 1Z lackfinish, and Adam's VRT (diluted for matte look) on tires

    this pic is one the owner took and emailed to me. This is me looking into the reflection in the sun, you can see from my smile that I was satisfied with my work in the sun!

    My biggest regret was getting no sun shots, like I said I wish I had taken better time to document this detail with pics, but I guess my customer was happy enough to give me a fat tip so I guess I did alright!

    Please leave comments, and suggestions!

    why did the owner get those generic wheels for the heritage? the stock ones he had were rarer.
