    With a Ferrari, apart from not wanting to screw up the paint finish, detailers need to know what's meant to have a matt finish, and what's meant to be glossy.....as an example.

    Does anyone know a detailer who can cope with the peculiarities of a 328GTS and does a good job at a reasonable price and who can go to Far Kew to do the work?

    It's a shame that you're over worked, maybe Carl could help he's good at polishing.

    The gear knob is already very shiny. Carl's useless at everything else.

    I can detail Ferraris to concours standards - for a small or nominal fee.

    Contact Damien at "Final Inspection" on 0402037423.
    He has a F40 in the family and you should see the car detail that was done on that.

    He specialises in exotics!

    It's on his website but you have to come to him.
    Tell him I referred you.

    Undoubtedly, Mario from Euroglassprestige knows his stuff and is a perfectionist with whom I have no problem recommending (although it will not be cheap). I also spoke to Damien at the Ferrari concours a couple of years ago and he seemed competent. *Another you may wish to consider is Jean-Pierre Domain from Unsurpassed Vehicle Image (0403 770 525), I know a couple of Porsche guys that swear by him.

    *Please note: He has sourced photos from me of a car he worked on.

    Nobody that does it properly will be cheap. It is quite labour intensive and some of the polishes can be very expensive indeed.

    Reality is that most "details" are not really proper details.

    A top notch detail on a Ferrari with reasonably good paint should set you back around $1500, we do them here and they all cost around that figure to do a really nice job.

    I have seen cars with $15k details and the F40 that was done would have been $12k (from memory) according to the web thread getting around at the time.
