TO Good Ferrari Painter/Detailer

Bummer for sure !

As a first step, I would call splash bros , take a few phone pics and send to them and see if this is something they could do. You would be amazed at what detailers can do these days.

They provide a dent,scratch service. Maybe something they can recommend, I'm sure they have seen it all and have a recommendation to help you.

Good luck !

If you need more than detailing, I highly recommend Luxury Auto Body in Etobicoke - Richard Rodrigues is the owner and the nicest man, and does nothing less than outstanding work. Nothing is too small or too large for him to work his magic. He is a car guy, and loves his work. A real craftsman. And surprisingly affordable.

I have gone there for over ten years, nothing less than complete satisfaction for my Ferraris, Range Rover, Mini Cooper S....etc.

Not to hijack the thread but I am also seeking a good detailer to remove some swirls in black 'vintage' paint. I checked the section for suggestions (none to recent other than this) emailed GTA in Detail (waiting) and saw the Splash guys but the photos give me pause (who washes a Ferrari in direct sunlight in pit stop fashion?)

Any other suggestions in the GTA?

 

And with a pressure washer. Excellent way to get water past seals meant to keep water out. I won't even do that to my CR-V

 

Those photos were taken at a track event....Splash Brothers have a proper facility and experience to do the job right........They did a great job on my fcar and daily drivers.

As long as you use the proper tip on the end of the wand (which controls the pressure and spread), there is absolutely nothing wrong in using a power washing unit.

Gerrit, unless you have used Splash Brothers is it fair you are judging their business in a negative way? After all we are only dealing with people's livelihood!!!

 

John, they Have a great depth of experience with both old paint and new paint on cars. Go through their photo gallery. They have the experience and patience to do client cars right. Ask them all the questions you wish, they will explain the process to make you feel comfortable. Some nice heavy iron could show up when you are there.

I sent them an email. Will see what they say. Now, how to get a Countach not equipped with a passenger side mirror from Yonge & York Mills to Woodbridge in morning traffic. Since I left in 2005 traffic has gotten a little worse in the city. If this goes ahead I hope they allow drop offs at off peak hour times.

 

John if you like I can drop off the Countach for you - no problem at all.

Or just ask them to come to your place for an estimate.

 

Since I don't know you either I have no context to judge your opinion.
Having rebuilt calipers that were pressure washed by some idiot in the past, I would stand by my opinion that no pressure washer is a wise tool around a car you care about.

They should be more careful with the image presented in photos, they provide no context. We now have your word that it was an 'event', with a Ferrari no less. Image is reality.

When shopping for a service to use for the first time, that impression is a deciding factor. As it is I prefer to do my own work, no issues then with disagreements or questions of quality.

 

I guess I should reconsider washing a car I care about, with my household garden hose with my 9-pattern nozzle attachment as one of the 9 settings is "jet"........have a great weekend

Well there is a big difference between 1000psi and 80psi so yes, your jet setting will be just fine.
And thank you, I have a great day everyday, not just weekends.

 

cool - you should post before and after pictures.

Hope it comes out perfectly for you !
