    I agree.

    A 'detail' will not win you a concours.

    You already know the answer to this. Peter McKinnon and all you do is tell him what you want and he'll do it. (he did the inner guards on the LM because of stone chips and I couldn't fault it)(AND he did in it my garage on site as well). Think BOXER.....remember that. That paint is still fantastic on that car.

    Hey all

    just got my F430 detailed and if you are Perth based, I highly recommend Adam from OC Detailing. And OC is spot on. Adam is passionate and anal.

    Enjoy

    Hey why not do it yourself? If your able to wipe your arse you should be able to detail your car. The secret is using the correct compounds starting with medium compounds and working down to super fine. Next give it a coat of glaze of and finally a good quality wax. You can buy a reasonable quality variable speed polisher out of superjew for around 100 bucks. Allow about 100 hours for a top job. I'm happy to give you some instruction if you are interested.

    Excellent I'll keep that in mind thanks. :)

    No one can recommend a good Ferrari detailer in Adelaide?
    Don't tell me I'm going to have to do it myself?!

    Went for a short drive today with roof off for the first time in many months.
    Beautiful weather and great fun. Amazing how much more noise you hear with the roof off.

    Gee I love my car.

    For the first and ONLY time in my life I have paid a detailer to detail the Ferrari for me before tomorrows Fathers Day 'show and shine'. :eek:

    Apparently he is doing an excellent job, can't wait to see the old girl.

    I vacuum and wipe over the interior once a year before this show and wash the car once every few months. I am a slacker. :(

    He is also going to clay bar the car, detail/clean inside and out. And let me tell you.............he definitely has his work cut out for him. ;)
