2013 Ferrari 548 Spyder – Ocala Exotic Car Detailing

This is a 2013 Ferrari 548 Spyder I recently worked on in Ocala. This is the definition of an exotic car. I have to tell you … it is absolutely stunning!

The owner had just purchased it from a Lamborghini dealership in Florida. I was actually quite surprised at the lack of quality and finish the detail department that Lamborghini had left this Ferrari in. Compound residue was left inside the air vents in the engine bay. The engine had not been detailed and there were water spots everywhere on the car.



Needless to say the owner was not pleased. He told me, “when you spend the kind of money that this car commands, I would expect better fit and finish.”

The definition of an exotic car is, “a very rare, pristine, luxury and unusual high end sports car“. This car is every bit of that and more.

After inspecting everything on this car and going over the services I offer, we agreed to do a Concours High End detail which is a perfect service for this car. It is a very thorough and meticulous cleaning of every area of the car.

I started cleaning the engine bay and engine all by hand. The owner was obviously very nervous about getting water anywhere near the engine, so I wiped every hose, every housing, and every wire with optimum no rinse and a towel. Any plastic housing or rubber wiring was then sealed with Opti-Seal. Finally, the painted surfaces in the engine bay were polished and waxed. Doing this all by hand took about three hours. The majority of the time was spent removing the compound from the intake vents in the engine bay.

I then started on the exterior paint. One of the reasons a detail of this nature is as expensive as it is, is because of all the air vents, induction cowls and very small areas. It is nearly impossible to get a normal machine to polish in those areas. Specialty tools are required. Which require specialized training. Using these tools allows me to put a mirror finish on those areas. I was then able to wax this Ferrari with Swissvax Crystal Rock which is the highest quality wax available in the world.
