Rosso Corso Ferrari 16M Correction

The third of three 16M 430 Scuderia's just completed for my client(CEO of Monster Cable). This particular car had the most factory sand scratches I have seen on a Ferrari(even more than a Pozzi Blue 599 I did last year)









That car required 27 hours plus, this 16M took 50 plus(as Dave @ Street Dreams says "hard paint suckness")

Could not wash conventionally due to MORE rain in the SF Bay Area(as I type this we are expecting more......)


Had to brake out the Mytee low pressure washer(with ONR from Phil/mixed with DI water)



Some of the defects were hard to capture, but the following pics show some of the marring and sand scratches









Deep holograms on the rockers



Sand scratches



More marring



This area was real bad, as I could not get ANY buffing pad completely into the tight areas. I ended up having to polish by hand with Megs 105 for hours.......................................



Sand scratch haze on the carbon grill



This area around the third brake light had some pretty deep RIDS



After compounding

 

wow amazing work, crazy how you detailed two of these. Look forward to seeing the rest of the detail

 

Typically awesome job!

 

The areas behind the seats were "No day at the beach either"





After all the correction steps were carried out





Left over sand scratch haze below the crease



Looking better



The same went for the drivers side carbon door shell as well

Working the diffuser like the other two scuds just completed

LSP was Menzerna Power Lock/ topped with Auto Glym HD Wax



Removing the wax

 

Before pics of the interior which was (honestly) not to bad













Brush work in the interior



Carbon seat shells polished



Note the absolute incredible stereo set up in this car, all factory leather was matched









Thought this pic showed off the correction of this hard to reach(for me) area of the car



Dusty engine was not to bad, but in need of tightning up



Exhaust can tarnished





50/50 pic



Whole can polished

Love all the pics!

Love your shop you work in too! We always see it, but just wanted you to know how jelous I am of the lift.

 

Great job. It amazes me how beat up some of these exotics get.

 

sweeeet! fantastic job!

 

simply amazing work, Bob!

 

nice work as always Bob!

 

awesome job!

 

Nice job. This might be worth looking into, or something similar. Mini Polisher Kit

 

i'm sorry but a handicap parking pass? what are you driving something like that around for if you can't manage to walk infrom the parking lot?

I must say i love your lift / garage setup the best !

 

ditto!
you could have a 1995 Escort on that thing and it would still be the coolest!

 

Beautiful work Bob, as always. And you say he's got three of these?

 

of course he has three! have you ever seen how MOnter Cables are over priced?!

 

Awesome work Bob! That thing was absolutely hammered and of course it came out stunning in the end. Looks like it was a real tedious job, not saying the others aren't.

 

He has to use a Segway to get around, and I am sure he would give up quite a bit of his wealth to be able to walk around like you and myself as would anyone who cannot walk around well(like my wife).
