Detailing & Ceramic Coating Process

Thorough Cleaning: We first thoroughly cleaned the Ferrari F430, carefully working over the entire vehicle to remove any residue, dirt and dust from the bodywork. This ensured the paintwork was properly prepared before beginning the correction process.

Machine Polishing: We then began machine polishing the car panel by panel, taking our time to ensure every section of the paintwork was treated correctly, with no areas left unpolished.

Scratch Correction: Extra time and attention was given to the more noticeable scratches and imperfections. Where appropriate, the affected areas were carefully sanded to reduce the appearance of the deeper marks before being machine polished again to restore the desired finish.

Paintwork Preparation: Once the polishing stage was complete, we thoroughly removed all polishing residue from the vehicle. We then used an alcohol-based panel wipe on every individual panel to remove remaining oils, residue and contaminants, leaving the paintwork perfectly clean and ready for the ceramic coating.
Ceramic Coating Application: The ceramic coating was then carefully applied to the entire vehicle with great attention to detail. Each section was checked thoroughly to ensure an even, flawless finish and proper bonding to the prepared paintwork.
