THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It's Me again. This is the last write-up for the day, I promise. I was contacted by this customer upon a walk-in purchase for some Detail Spray. Turns out he owns the building around the corner from the Warehouse, just picked this puppy up, and let me tell you. IT NEEDED some love. The car was dropped off prior to me showing up. Here it is before I touched it. This may have been to date the most swirl marks I have ever seen on one car in my whole life.

THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Pulled it out into the wash area to start the real process. Nice. Hard Water Stains on the Glass Engine Shield. In the light, the swirls were ALL OVER. Wheels and Tires were thick in dirt and brake dust, and the rear clip had this "film" on it that wasn't pleasant to clay off.

THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I needed to stop playing with the Camera and start working. Engine was half detailed before I washed, then touched up after. This thing was facemelting worthy. Surprisingly butter soft paint made this job really not a job. I used the Carpet Brush and CUC to clean up the Mats...took about 2 minutes tops.

THE Mook Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 So, the customer wanted his car back the same day. THIS was a Large task for me to accomplish, and I was stressed. I did it, and I did it well. The following pictures are the only 'afters' outside I got. He likes his Ferarri, and likes to drive it fast! Seriously... Thank you all for stopping in!

varga740 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Was the car not worthy of the Patriot treatment? Seriously though, nice quick turnaround. I'm sure you would have liked an extra day especially being a Ferrari. THE Mook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Machine Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah Mook he loves to drive his car and drive it fast to bad he doesn't truly love the car like you loved the car!!!!! That car was jacked up! I guess he didn't learn anything and I gues if you own a Ferrari you can always pay someone to make yourself to look good. Beautiful job! That owner needs to go to a clinic to see the right way it's done! But something tells me that's not gonna happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
