Ferrari Testarossa paint correction and Opti-Coat by Explicit Details of CT

Just a few quick pics of this past weekend's detail/Opti-Coat. This is one of only 75 F512M's built for the USA.

It received a full paint correction, suspension, engine bay and interior detail and Opti-Coat Pro everywhere on the exterior.

Before and after correction on the front fender. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to get a ton of pics, but this will give you an idea of the level of correction that was done. It has 70k spirited miles on it, so the paint needed a bit of work.





A few after pics

Part of me thinks that light blue Toyota Previa might be more rare then this car.

Great job! Did you have to do paint correction on the paint between the vents? If so...how?

Yes, every inch of the paint was corrected. The areas where the polisher wouldn't fit were done by hand and was very time consuming. There is about 15 man hours into the correction alone because of that and thankfully the paint was on the soft side which saved alot of time. When you open the door, there is room to get your hand in to get into the tight areas behind the slats. It was definitely a challenge but so worth it!
