Morning.
Finally getting chance to sit down and catch up with some of the photos over the past few weeks.
First up this one owner 1999 Ferrari 355. I thought I recognised the name of the owner when he contacted me. Turns out he very successfully operated on my mum 15 years ago so it was nice to be able to help transform his pride and joy.
Details of all of our services along with over 300 of the cars I've previously worked on can be seen on our website...
And we are still all over social media where you can see all the cars as we work on them
After 17 years the paint was looking a little tired. This iPhone photo shows the general state of the paint.
A 50/50 shot showing the difference paint correction can make.
A quick example of the difference we made in this 50/50 video. Change to 1080p for the best viewing

There was quite a lot of built up dirt around the prancing horse as well so that was removed so the paint behind could be polished. Little details like this make all the difference.
The wheels were also removed so the inner wheels could be properly cleaned, old wheel weight stickers removed and then the inner and outer wheel sealed with Gtechniq C5.
With all the polishing and cleaning complete it was time for the coatings. The fabric roof had already been treated with Gtechniq I1 at the beginning of the job. The paint was coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum and Exo (otherwise known as CS Black). The Serum gives the long lasting protection and the Exo gives around 18 months of water and dirt repellency.
Wheels had already been coated with Gtechniq C5 and tyres with Gtechniq T1. The interior was cleaned with Gtechniq I2 and then protected with I1 on the fabrics and L1 on the leather.
A quick example of the beading of Gtechniq coatings. Change to 1080p for the best viewing

The engine bay was already in excellent condition so all it needed was some degreaser in a few localised places and then dressing with CarPro PERL.
And the finished photos..
We then put the car back into Autostore's new showroom ready for the customer to collect.
The full photo set is on the website here
