FANTASTIC job! I never would've guessed that a Ferrari's paint would have that much orange peel from factory.

wow there went an hour of my morning but well spent!

Hey man, do you only work on exotics? I have been looking for a detail for my car ever since I got it 2 months ago, visited many shops and different prices, however you being a member on here and the fact that you just made my favorite car my MORE favorite car I want to see if you would be willing to work on my IS350.

Are you up north florida or south?

That orange peel was worse then most regular cars I have seen/detailed and totally unacceptable for a new Ferrari.
Thank you for the compliments. Actually the Ferrari dealers reply was "don't flatten the paint too much or it won't look like a Ferrari!"

Ferrari's are FAR from perfect from the factory. While they are (for the most part) mass produced, they still have that hand built, small factory "charm"

Thank you for the compliments. I have clients all over the state, in some other states, and some other countries. I tend to work on mostly exotics or super rare cars, but this is not really by choice. One of my favorite details was on a Honda Pilot that had sentimental value to the owner. The only requirement for me is that my client loves his car enough to entrust my care.
