WR1 Owners Club

Hi, merry Xmas to all.

Not a huge writeup on this one but wanted to share the pictures. This stunning F430 Scuderia arrived for a stage 2 paint correction with a few extras also.


Walking around the car on arrival..




































































Tyres and calipers cleaned with APC, wheels with Bilberry








All door, boot and fuel shuts cleaned with APC. As was the engine bay, badges, lights and mirrors.












































After being snowfoamed, washed by 2 bucket method using Shampoo Plus, clayed and then washed again, it was then taken inside to have paint thickness readings taken.







The Ferrari was then machined using Menzerna 3.02 and a 3M polishing pad. Once complete the paint was refined using a 3M finishing pad and Menzerna 85RD.
The paint was then ipa'd down and followed with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid. 3 applications of Swissvax Best of Show was then applied over 2 days. During this time the glass was cleaned with 3M Glass Cleaner. The interior was dusted with fine brushes and hoovered. The floor and pedals cleaned with APC. All interior carbon was also treated with Best of Show.
Moving to the engine bay, all rubbers and plastics were treated whilst wet, with Aerospace 303. The exhaust was polished. All carbon was treated with Cleaner Fluid and then waxed with Best of Show.
The alloys had 2 applications of Wheel Sealant and the tyres had 2 applications of Endurance Gel. All door, boot and bonnet rubber trim was treated with Bumper Care as was the rear diffuser and window seals

These were the final pics. Having a play with the camera effects on some of the later ones.

Top class work as usual,very nice car,and happy new year to you.

Awesome job, love reading these detailing threads, quick question being an enthusiastic car cleaner on my own wr1, the apc you use is that meguires all purpose cleaner? I've seen it for sale but the shops seem to advertise it as an interior cleaner for seats/carpets etc?! Thanks, any feedback would be great, Richard

Hi Richard, yes correct. APC is all purpose cleaner. It has many uses, such as tyres, interiors, carpets, plastics, light engine bay cleaning etc

Regards,

Christian

Lovely, thanks for that, I see you use it around door shuts with a detailing brush, do you just spray on, scrub, then rinse to bring the debris off?! What do you use to rinse so as to not get water everywhere in boot/interior?! Thanks

Nice to see a car like that actually get used.

Top work as ever, but jeez do we need a soundtrack to go with the pics!

Ofcourse bouncing it off the limiter might not go down to well with the owner, but surely you 'need' to start it to dry off the engine bay!!

Hi Richard, you are correct again. As far as not getting water everywhere, i use the pressure washer but switched off. This allows a very fine spray so i can be accurate with it, but still powerful enough to rinse properly.

Thanks Caveman, i will try and get some future sound clips for you
