December Detail of the Month: 2004 Ferrari 360 Modena
Unlock the Shine of Your 2004 Ferrari 360 Modena
We thought it would be fun to feature a Detail of the Month. So, for the last month of the year we are featuring one of our more recent favorite details. We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more monthly features!
This 360 came to us from a long-time client and friend who'd just recently purchased the vehicle with only 8k+ miles on the clock. The owner had a vision for the vehicle that included an interior refresh, Karim's signature Superior shine, and protection from chips and defects caused by road debris. Together we came up with a package that included the following:
- Wheels-off detail with suspension and engine bay clean
- Interior SwissVax detail with extensive steam cleaning and leather refresh
- Paint correction in multiple stages over ~10 days
- Paint chip repair on hood, front bumper, fenders, and rocker panels
- Paint Protection Film (PPF) application
- Modesta BC-08 Neosillica coating application to preserve the new finish
This detail spanned over 3 weeks and each team member had a major role. We all really enjoyed hands-on time with this beauty. The classic Ferrari in Rosso Corsa photographs so well and we hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed working on the vehicle.
The finished detail and delivery day for the 360, with the Alfa sitting pretty in the background. Two Italian beauties.
BEFORE....
Our Restorative Detail process for this vehicle removes the heavy dirt that's been accumulating for years, as seen in the photos below. The photo on the right shows the surface scratches and marring from improper washing, and general wear and tear. These are completely removed during the multiple-stage paint correction.
THE DETAIL....
Prep and Cleaning
We perform the first wash indoors, with the vehicle off the ground and the wheels off.
We fully detail the suspension. See the before and after below.
Paint Correction and Touch-ups
We meter the paint to verify clear coat depth before we begin any correction work. Karim's methods and processes vary based on paint depth, type of paint work (specific to vehicle make or whether the vehicle was recently re-sprayed), and desired outcome.
We also performed extensive touch-ups to the major impact areas of the vehicle. We then wash the vehicle a second time to remove any remaining compound and prepare the vehicle for PPF application.
Paint Protection Film Application
We move the vehicle to our PPF/Coating bay and it sits on the scissor lift for the PPF and Modesta Coating processes. We removed the old film on the lower rocker/rear splash area and replaced it with a full rocker piece. The paint protection film protects the front end from any further chips or defects from road debris.
Modesta Primer and Coating
Karim applies Modesta primer before the Modesta BC-08 coating application.
AFTER....

It's great to end the year with Racing Red! And we absolutely love this 360 Modena in Racing Red. This detail is a perfect example of how Karim wants to treat every vehicle that comes into the shop. Thank you to all of our clients who allow us the opportunity to do this.
I'm looking forward to January's Detail of the Month, it could be something we are working on right now! Stay Tuned!

OUR STUDIO
The environment in which we work has a huge affect on the quality of work produced. For us, this means having two separate climate-controlled spaces to accommodate for spikes in heat and humidity. It means separating our high-end detailing services to prevent contamination in film and coating applications. Our Downtown Orlando studio is 5,600 sq. ft. of air conditioned space with 2,500 sq. ft. dedicated to clean PPF and coating applications.
We have an indoor wash bay with warm and deionized water. We utilize Rupes machines, LED overhead lighting, and Scangrip/LED portable lighting. We have a 4-post lift, scissor lift, and QuickJacks portable car lifts. Our spaces are separately outfitted with right LED lighting for the specific work being performed. We have CCTV security cameras inside and out, with 24-hr armed on-property security monitoring.
Come see why we are Superior!
