    A doctor client who owns two Ferrari's also drives a nice Maserati and although it is not a Ferrari it does share some of the 360 components......I believe.

    Oh well here are some pictures of this beautiful machine after I finished detailing it. I only wish the sun had been out more because of the paint color, it really POPS in the sun.

    I "think" I finished this car out with AIO and a paste wax called Trade Secret. I could be wrong though, I'll have to look it up in my notes. It had to be buffed out first with a high speed rotary. Dealer put in some scratches.

    Out of curiousity, how much does an extensive detail like that cost?

    Looking good! Your engine pictures always look really really clean, what do you use on them?

    If a client brings me a new car, fresh off the lot, my detail "starts" at $200

    Most of my work is in the range of $200 to $300 and each detail takes me between 6 to 10 hours. Many of the details I do must be done in stages. One day the interior, then start another car or wash several others, then the next day finish the exterior. I recently detailed a horrible Mercedes ( I should post pictures of this one) that is white in color and had never been detailed. I charged him $400 and it took me several days to finish it. I took my time with it as I was under no rush to finish it.

    Thanks,
    Anthony

    Thank you for the compliments!

    I use for most of my engines a diluted Simple Green solution, about 60 %water to 40% Simple Green.

    I used for this engine, to dress it, a water based dressing called "Best Dressed". Mix it up in a spray bottle and mist it over the entire engine area, allow to dry and set as you vacuum, clean the windows, etc.

    Then take a foam sponge and buff the areas out that you dressed. If any areas look like they need more coverage then spray the sponge and apply it in that manner.

    Hope that answers your question, if not please let me know how I can be of more help.

    Thanks,
    Anthony
