Default I washed Dads Ferrari with a kitchen scouring pad, oops.

This Ferrari was sent to me after the paintwork had been written off, estimates of 50k plus for a complete respray had been given to the owner, he had also taken the car to a number of respected detailers that did not want to get involved because of the fear of breaking through the clearcoat, one of the detailers told the owner that he knew an idiot that would probably have a go as he had big Bollocks and a tiny brain.
I thought you might enjoy watching my pain as I attempt to save the paint without causing any further damage.
This is the first of many videos that were taken during this job, please let me know if you would like to see the rest of them, I only say this because it is rare to get any feedback from my vids so I cannot tell if anyone is really interested or not, but the good news is that I will have a Ford arriving in the next couple of weeks.
Please enjoy.

I used Meguires snow foam but cheaper ones work just as well, only my opinion, the gun is the autoglym snow foam gun and although I have others I am impressed with its performance although if you like thick foam its not very economical.
Thanks for asking the question, it is nice to get some interaction.

worth it for the amount of work you've got to do, my car looks a bit like that, but nowhere near as bad
