Rosso Corsa Ferrari F355 GTS - Stage 3 Paint Correction & The Works! [IMAGE HEAVY]

Car: 1995 Ferrari F355 GTS

Service: Stage 3 Paint Correction, Leather Condition, General Interior Clean & Engine Bay Clean

Comments:
- A Ferrari will generally look shiny and clean, but an up close look will reveal otherwise – swirls, tar marks and scratches. This had them all. Not too bad for a 17 year old car, but still can’t hide with this paint!
- Oxidised flat red paint needed more depth
- The wheels were heavily soiled mainly brake dust and some stains beneath the clear coat.
- Leather interior had some marks and the carpets were stained in typical areas
- The engine bay was looking tired too with many powder coated parts showing their age.
- Check out the images to see the deep and glossy red paint at the end of the detail and the how the interior should look on an M5. It was an interesting morning with part overcast/sunlight skies so we couldn’t capture the wet look 100%, but you get the idea!
- Rosso Corsa red is a fantastic colour with excellent results. The owner couldn't be happier with outcome

Enjoy the photos - there are LOTS

TWD - Black Mercedes Benz C63 AMG - Stage 3 Paint Correct & The Works! [IMAGE HEAVY]

Car: 2009 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

Service: Stage 3 Paint Correction, Leather Condition, General Interior Clean & Engine Bay Clean

Comments:
- Paint felt like sandpaper and had medium swirls all over the car
- Lots of tar build up on the bottom half of the sides
- Minor holograms in certain light and just needed a deep clean to see the metallic flake in the paint again.
- Mercedes Benz' Ceramiclear is fantastic. It's very hard, but very rewarding to work with, as you will find out in pictures below!
- Once again, a happy owner with a car that looked like glass and felt super smooth!

I realised I have no after photos of the engine bay or interior

I try to document the car as much as possible and because the readers are not there in person to see it, I need tonnes of photos to show results as best as I can.

Thanks mate! The intention was to make it look "clean" so I guess we achieved that

Titanium Silver BMW Performance 125i - Stage 1 Paint Correction

Car: 2009 BMW Performance 125i

Service: Stage 1 Paint Correction

Comments:
- Being silver, you could barely tell the car needed any work, but upon closer inspection you could see the usual imperfections, a few scratches here and there, micro swirls and a rough feel to the bottom half of the vehicle
- Few tar marks were obvious and dirt stuck in edges near seals
- Wheels and calipers needed a good clean too
- Gloss was restored back into the silver paintwork and as the owner put it “The car looked brand new again”

Not heaps of photos this time, but you get the idea
