2010 Ferrrari California detailed

I wanted to share with you all some photo's of a recent project we did for Ferrari of N.A. We were asked to detail four brand new, not yet released 2010 Ferrari California's for the press drive and review on the west coast. We arrived on Thursday am and upon arrival was these gorgeous Ferrari's that needed some T.L.C and paint correction. These are the first of production intended for the press, and since they were bagged for transport you will see the paint damage. I have over 250 photo's that we snapped, but I will post some of them so that you can see the results. Innovative Detailing was privilaged to have the honor to take this project on.










































Thank you for viewing, I hope you enjoyed my work............

You lucky guys!

Just curious. Isn't it highly recommended to do a lot of detailing working including washing and waxing in a covered environment, free from direct sun light?

Nice Job
Marks were from being wrapped or bagged for transport, along with some moderate scratching that we completely polished out.....Chicks in bikinis......lol. I did get to drive them but not out of 3rd gear..........they sounded sweet!



Here is a video I made up on all the photos....


Thank you for the wonderful comments on our work!

Great looking car IMO (many don't like it). Best is the red with red calipers and charcoal with yellow calipers. Man, those cars look like 4x4s; not even my lowly Accord has those huge fender gaps . But I wouldn't mind that if given as a gift . Great job guys.

Those spots were from the before shots..............everything was meticulously polished out and finessed especially these spots that you see. These spots came from the vehicles being bagged (moisture under the wrap forms this etching)in factory in Italy for transport. We also polished out some of the other more aggressive scratches that were on the cars from being handled by the dealership...........

Beautiful work and cars.

Is that me or does the California sit quite high? The fender gaps, particularly above the front wheels, seem enormous.
