    I've had my car detailed by Topaz Detailing and have to say the results are astounding. I've followed other owners results from detailing and although impressed have always thought can it really look that good - well it can! The level of effort they go to for every nook and cranny has to be seen to be believed and they welcomed me calling in to see how it was going as often as I wanted - they are truly passionate about what they do. The underside is even polished! I have lots of shots of the process if anyone is interested. As an anxious owner it's a bit worrying when they take an abrasive to the paintwork to remove scratches, pleased to say they always check the paint thickness before starting work (even able to measure the depth of each layer of the Nuovo Rosso F1 3 layer paint). Very pleased when they told me the car has had no paintwork.

    Judge the results for yourselves (sunlight is the best friend of the 3 layer paint).

    Looking good Russell, did they polish the Capristo ? no strange looks from the police in central London with all that lovely noise ?

    Absolutely stunning! Not to hijack but I see you have a great license plate. I was in London last week and picked up a car magazine. Can you tell me why vanity plates cost thousands of pounds in some cases. I saw "CAT 1" for £150,000!

    Russ, you have the best looking 16M in the World, I have seen no better one. Carbon side skirts, the Forged wheels, the bi-color stripes, and the stunning "Nuevo Rosso F1" color.

    The Capristo full system is the cherry on top.

    Amazing, love back of your carbon seats. I thought they are a bit Matt nit as shinny as yours.

    Really love it. Thanks for sharing

    I would agree. That is a proper detail.

    Question:

    How long has it been in between details?

    another words, how often do you detail yor 16M?

    Thanks

    Russ, please dont drive her anymore. She is in a condition way beyond that when she first rolled out of Maranello! You have shamed the quality inspectors at Ferrari.
