Clean Car!

Now thats one mighty clean car!

Gorgeous.

But now watch as this thread descends into an argument about washing like that being unnecessary, the cost involved being crazy, and then the obligatory "detailing" argument.

A car like that is well worth the money and effort

It's only done 800 miles, if it had been hauled out of a barn I'd be a bit more impressed. Yeah it's clean, but I just can't get that excited over it.

I'm wondering why he bothered swirling out the numberplate in the pics then posted a shot of the chassis number.

I would be disappointed with the condition of the paint from brand new IMO and complain to Ferrari, especially residue on the door seals which had to be removed.

Is it only me who would love to drive that down a muddy road and watch the look on that guy's face?

thepharcyde · 28 Feb 2008 at 19:58

Ignore!

No, he owns a detailing company.

does the guy who detailed it own it?

no

5 days and 30hrs :eek:

would love to know how much all that cost!

Totally worth it though, a car as magnificent as that deserves it.

Alex UK · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:32

Wow. It's very difficult to comprehend the amount of work that goes into something like that. The car looks absolutely stunning. :eek:

Berger · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:34

I sort of do and sort of dont understand this whole detailing malarky.

Theres someone on a rover forum whose cars is endorsed by Meguiars or something along those lines, but he had a complete car respray and keeps it garaged so i would expect it to be in good condition, if its on the original paint with 100k on the clock and has just been looked after then surely thats better than one with brand new fresh paint.....

Duke · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:36

I can't believe how poor the paint was originally. Looks much better now.

Tom|Nbk · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:36

eeek the car was absoloutely covered in swirls to start with, that's no good for such an expensive car!

EDIT : I'm in love.

If your brand new Ferrari had paint like that, you too would want it detailed.

Ridiculous amount of swirls.

*cringes at the thought of some chav with a bucket and grit filled cloth washing the car at the dealership*

commodore16 · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:46

I must behave, as soon as I saw the car parked outside I had visions of a passing bird crapping all over it and then the look on the owners face.

Still if nothing else it gave some decent photos of a car not many people get to own.

RoboCod · 28 Feb 2008 at 20:49

How does a 800 mile ferrari get so bad in the first place, is it simply as Tom says?

Cant imagine they have chavs at ferrari dealerships.

Yeah thats bad, but then you have the "bad cases of micro-marring" on the carbon fibre..... getting a bit anal about the whole thing there.

Just get the scratches removed from the wings and jobs a good'un.

On the interior pictures, if they werent labeled you couldnt tell between the before and after photos, they look no different.
