A brief overview of the 458 Challenge

The new 4499 cc V8 is the first Ferrari direct injection engine to be mid-rear-mounted.

Compared to the 458 Italia, the direct injection 4499 cc V8 remains strictly in production tune, with an output of 570 hp at 9,000 rpm. That said, modifications have been made to the gear ratios and calibration of its dual-clutch F1 gearbox to guarantee higher torque at lower revs. The 458 Challenge is also equipped with the E-Diff electronic differential already employed on the road-going version, a first for Ferrari’s track-only cars.

Significant weight reductions were achieved both in the car interior and externally:

- The Prancing Horse engineers focused in particular on the thickness of the bodyshell and the materials used, making extensive use of Lexan.
- The 458 Challenge also has a specific set-up thanks to modifications made to its suspensions which now include solid steel racing bushings, stiffer springs, single-rate aluminium dampers, 19’’ centre-lock forged wheel rims, larger Pirelli slicks and a ride height that’s lower by 50 mm.
- New generation CCM2 Brembo brakes are also integrated with the evolved ABS debuted on the 599XX laboratory car.
- Also new is the use of the F1-Trac traction control system. This Ferrari-developed piece of kit continuously estimates grip and uses that information to boost performance.

Two track-specific calibrations were developed with logics and control strategies evolved from the F1 and GT racing worlds and fully integrated with the E-Diff to maximise performance both entering and exiting corners.

The ABS/EBD, E-Diff and F1-Trac calibrations are controlled via a steering wheel-mounted manettino, another first for a Ferrari Challenge-dedicated model. The driver has a choice of 3 settings: OFF position (traction control deactivated), position 1 and position 2. The latter two settings progressively increase the amount of control exerted by the aforementioned systems and can be selected to suit grip conditions. The 458 Challenge also has extraordinary lateral acceleration of 1.6 G when cornering, an essential factor in its superior performance.

The 458 Challenge guarantees the Ferrari Challenge drivers blistering performance and driving pleasure in the spirit of a championship designed to allow clients enjoy themselves and their cars in a professional and exclusive environment.

Ferrari Challenge Series

Established in 1993 and now in its twenty-second year, this year the Ferrari Challenge sees the new 458 Challenge EVO car line up, organized in three series, engaging four regions – Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
The large hospitality area offers all the right facilities and it provides a nerve centre where drivers and the teams can welcome their guests and sponsors in an environment that lives up to their expectations. The facilities are also available to the sponsors of the Challenge, some attracted by the series itself and others who prefer to have a tie-in with specific drivers. They are keen to be associated with a prestige marque and also enjoy the media coverage on TV, radio, print media and Internet. In the Challenge, everything is done to put drivers at their ease, with rules ensuring that Dealers and official preparation companies are the only ones authorised to enter cars. This rule has been in place since the very beginning of the Trofeo and allows for greater transparency in the running of the series, which would not be possible with entries from outside the organisation. Events are often held at prestigious race circuits as part of a special event also run by Ferrari - Ferrari Racing Days - with the exception of a few that are run alongside top international events, such as the very first event staged at the French Le Mans circuit at the legendary 24 Hours meeting.

The classification features the two categories for the Trofeo Pirelli and the Coppa Shell for drivers running the 458 Challenge EVO. 2014 sees a change in the format of the weekend, featuring qualifying 1st session and race 1 on Saturday and qualifying 2nd session and race 2 on Sunday. On Friday testing and free driving sessions will be organized.

At each race, an extra point will be given for pole position, and one for the fastest race lap.
All drivers still face a sporting contest that has always operated at a very high standard, with the races proving to be closely contested from start to finish.

Before

For a few feet the car looked great.

Upon closer inspection we found a lot of paint imperfections. - Swirls, holograms, sand scratches were all visible

Prep - wash - clay - wheels - tires

The car was just delivered so instead of doing a traditional wash we decided to do use Optimum No Rinse for this one.

After the complete wash was done including wheels, tires, and claying. We moved on to masking the vehicle. (reasons for masking - protect the trim from damage and to reduce the amount of dust getting caked up in crevices and tight spots, reducing clean up)

Compound and Polishing - Paint Correction
Various machines were used to bring the paint back up - Rupes LHR15, Rupes LHR21, Griot's 3 inch DA.
Menzerna FG400 and Sonax Perfect Finish were used to achieve the results that were desired.

50/50 shot of the correction done - more of these in the video

After shots - for the last step Opti Coat was applied

I hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did.

Thanks!

Winter - Salt Removal Wash and Protect services offered at our location.

Helpful Winter Tips:

Keeping your vehicle as clean as possible during the winter will go a long way to cut down the damage done by salt and sand.
Take your vehicle to the car wash as often as possible. (self operated/ touch less) Many car washes in the "snow belt" offer steam cleaning and undercarriage cleaning will be a plus.
Have your car re-waxed and sealed when you have it washed.

Make sure the car is completely dry

Carefully dry the edges of the doors inside and out, including the undersides of door handles, all hinges, plus the hood and trunk edges. This helps keep them from freezing shut.
Use a good quality spray protectant on all exterior rubber or vinyl surfaces. It may be best to spray they applicator you are using instead of spraying the product directly onto the surface. This will avoid any overspray onto the paint.

2015 BMW M3 - Mineral Gray - New Car Prep - Modesta BC04 - Next Level Coating

We received this brand new 2015 BMW M3 in the best possible way - directly from the customer immediately after it was delivered. Even better the dealer did not touch anything - all the wrapper was still on the car! Note: If you can ask for the delivery of your new car in this form the shop handling your new car prep, coating, and/or paint protection film installation is ahead of the game. The only thing better than this situation would be that the customer would have flat bedded the car to us.

Take a look at how we feel a new car should be delivered.

Here is a list of products used on the interior.

The ideal situation for us would be to have every new car delivered to us this way - all wrapped up from the factory. No dealer installed paint imperfections.

Here we go, nothing like removing the wrapper off a brand new car!

Interior gets unwrapped

All the wrapper removed and adhesive cleaned off the paint

Next up into the wash bay for a nice wash - pre soak, wash,decon, clay, wheels and tires

Uber Super Drying Towel soaking up all the water for a nice dry.

Clay bar

Sonax EX 0406 used to polish out any light paint imperfections before we move into the Modesta application

Looking quite nice after a the paint prep - Mineral Gray M4 in the background ....

Modesta Primer P-01A applied now we wait for the 3-4 hour cure time prior to Modesta BC-04

After the BC-04 is installed we cure the paint under heat lamps.

After Interior shots

Final shots of the exterior

Outside shots - Hard Candy Shine! Some amazing depth, gloss, and clarity after the proper prep work and Modesta!

Hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did.

That hard candy shell that Modesta leaves after a proper install is incredible.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 - Paint Correction / Xpel Ultimate / Modesta Glass Coating - BC-05

Long time customer brings us one of his bucket list cars. We were honored to get the call from our customer enlisting us to take care of his new to him Gallardo. Our customer had specifics that we needed to attend to on his new pride and joy.

First on his list was a full paint correction and proper preparation for Modesta Glass Coating, a coating he felt was right for the job. I completely agreed and we decided on Modesta BC-05 for that hard candy like look. Next was to make sure we could clean up the the already installed clear film. Replace the mirrors and add full rockers panels in Xpel Ultimate. After his wheels were repaired and free of curb rash from the previous owner we were able to coat the wheels as well as take care of the brakes, wheel wells, and suspension bits and pieces.

Take a look at the clean up.

Even better the dealer did not touch anything - all the wrapper was still on the car! Note: If you can ask for the delivery of your new car in this form the shop handling your new car prep, coating, and/or paint protection film installation is ahead of the game. The only thing better than this situation would be that the customer would have flat bedded the car to us. Take a look at how we feel a new car should be delivered. Here is a list of products used on the interior. 1Z einszett Cockpit Leather Master Strong Cleaner Leather Master Barrier Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner 1Z einszett Gummi Pflege Stift Rubber Care Stick Metro Jumbo Vac n Blow Uber Leather and Carpet Brush Uber Microfiber Towels Uber Microfiber Applicator Pad Products used on the exterior: Adam's New Car Wash Uber Clay Bar Sonax Fall Out Remover NanoSkin Tar Solvent NanoSkin AutoScrub Mitt Sonax EX0406 Modesta Primer 01A - Modesta Pro installer only Modesta BC04 - Modesta Pro installer only Adam's Super VRT Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner Tools used Metro Jumbo Vac n Blow Uber Leather and Carpet Brush Uber Microfiber Towels Uber Microfiber Applicator Pad Uber Quick Detail MF Towels Uber All Purpose MF Towels Griot's 3 inch Random Orbital Polisher Rupes BigFoot LHR 21ES Random Orbital Polisher Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES Random Orbital Polisher Uber Buffing Pads Defelsko Paint Meter Fenix TK35 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Adam's Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster The ideal situation for us would be to have every new car delivered to us this way - all wrapped up from the factory. No dealer installed paint imperfections. Here we go, nothing like removing the wrapper off a brand new car! Interior gets unwrapped All the wrapper removed and adhesive cleaned off the paint Next up into the wash bay for a nice wash - pre soak, wash,decon, clay, wheels and tires Uber Super Drying Towel soaking up all the water for a nice dry. Clay bar Sonax EX 0406 used to polish out any light paint imperfections before we move into the Modesta application Looking quite nice after a the paint prep - Mineral Gray M4 in the background .... Modesta Primer P-01A applied now we wait for the 3-4 hour cure time prior to Modesta BC-04 After the BC-04 is installed we cure the paint under heat lamps. After Interior shots Final shots of the exterior Outside shots - Hard Candy Shine! Some amazing depth, gloss, and clarity after the proper prep work and Modesta! Hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did. That hard candy shell that Modesta leaves after a proper install is incredible.

We were honored to get the call from our customer enlisting us to take care of his new to him Gallardo. Our customer had specifics that we needed to attend to on his new pride and joy. First on his list was a full paint correction and proper preparation for Modesta Glass Coating, a coating he felt was right for the job. I completely agreed and we decided on Modesta BC-05 for that hard candy like look. Next was to make sure we could clean up the the already installed clear film. Replace the mirrors and add full rockers panels in Xpel Ultimate. After his wheels were repaired and free of curb rash from the previous owner we were able to coat the wheels as well as take care of the brakes, wheel wells, and suspension bits and pieces. Take a look at the clean up.
