Ferrari Enzo Detail...Ferrari Enzo - it needs no introduction really!
The owner wanted the car looking its best for an up and coming car show(Alford Speedfest Sun 5th June, we'll be there ) but as it was quite short notice we could only get it in for a 1 day Protection Detail which would obviously make the car look nice and shiny but paintwork correction would have to wait. This suited the owner fine but it is coming back into us in the next few weeks to have the full Ne Plus Ultra treatment so we can really go to town on it So here's the car sat in the early morning sun awaiting its spruce up: As always, it was the wheels/tyres and arches that were done first after a good pre-rinse: With the ceramic brakes the wheels were never going to be too bad but I used Wolf's Deironiser anyways just to be sure: Then agitated with the various brushes after the Deironiser was left to dwell for a few minutes: Then rinsed: The tyres and arches were sprayed with Meguiars APC (4:1) and then agitated with an old wheel back brush: Then thoroughly rinsed at medium pressure: While the fronts were ok, the rear wheels had a few minor tar spots so Autosmart Tardis was applied: Then applied to a Wheel Woolie for an extra bit of cleaning power: After: Next up was that rather impressive engine bay which was just a bit dusty with the odd oily mark here and there so Meguiars APC was sprayed onto the worst bits: Then rinsed at 60 degrees and low pressure: The Black Baron drier was then used to remove any excess water: I then foamed the car with Meguiars Shampoo Plus at 50 degrees... ...then thoroughly rinsed after approx 5 minutes: There were still some stubborn bug splats on the front end so I applied some APC to help in their removal: APC was then used again to clean all the exterior trim/badges/grills etc: Then rinsed again: Using a Lambswool wash mitt, Meguiars Shampoo Plus and the 2BM the car was then carefully washed: A further rinse: At this point the paint was pretty smooth with only a couple of small tar spots here and there so we brought it in to be clayed with Meguiars Mild: We then dried the car with the Black Baron: The paintwork was then prepared for waxing with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and a microfibre applicator pad: The tyres were sprayed with Swissvax Pneu and left for 10/15 minutes: The wheels were also prepared with Cleaner Fluid and then protected with Swissvax Autobahn: Then buffed off after 20 minutes: Meanwhile, Crystal Rock had been applied to the paintwork... ...and a new glass sealant from Nanolex applied to all exterior glass: By the time the Nanolex had been applied and removed it was time to buff the wax off with a Deluxe Mega Towel: All the carbon fibre (which is everywhere!) was waxed also: Swissvax Leather Cleaner removed a little bit of dirt and grime from the seats but they weren't too bad really: Tailpipes were polished with Swissvax Metal Polish: Wolf's Trim Coat was applied to all the black sections on the lower parts of the car: The carbon diffuser was cleansed and then waxed with Swissvax Opaque (apologies for the dark picture): In the engine bay, a good hour or two was spent polishing and protecting various bits of carbon with Werkstat Prime Strong and protecting the rest with Aerospace 303. The exhaust was polished up with the DA and Meguiars NXT Metal Polish: Before: After: After a thorough check over and a final wipe down this is how the car looked I'd like to emphasise the fact that the car received no paint correction at this stage so if anyone at Alford on Sunday sees the car and wonders why there's still swirls in the paint then that's why Thanks for looking, Part II on its way in a few weeks Clark Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...
Great job as ever and some car..... Was that a Porsche I could see in one of the shots? and is it yours?

Drool
The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
Awesome mate!!
Excellent work, really wish I would have got into your line of work I bet its pure satification to do jobs like that (even though it takes a long time) Im very OCD with cleaning but if I had your skills I know I would be good lol UK TURBO...SOLD

At the end of the day it's just another car and that's how you have to go about it (whilst giving it the respect it obviously deserves). Saying that,there's not many cars that you can see the carbon weave through the paint like this one! Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...
Respect to you mate. You must have a great Public Liabilty insurance

What price do u start from and were r u based
Prices start from £280 + VAT and we're based in Aberdeen, which I'd imagine probably rules you out as I'm guessing you're southern based? Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...
