    I had the opportunity to detail this beautiful Ferrari 355 recently. I haven't posted a write up before, but I felt this car was worth sharing so bare with me. A couple of the pictures are a little out of focus.

    This was the condition of the paint when it arrived. Pretty much
    representative of the entire car.

    Backed it out of the garage to foam it down and give it a proper two-bucket
    wash.

    Pulled it back inside, clayed it, dried it, and inspected the real
    damage.

    I'm not sure if I was more happy the way the paint turned out after polishing or the leather after cleaning and conditioning. Either way, the car looked
    amazing.

    I love a nice 355. Out of curiosity, what did you use on the exhaust tips?

    0000 steel wool and some Adam's Metal Polish.

    Do you have any additional photos? The one you posted wasn't particularly flattering, which was my only reason for asking. I was going to offer some alternative products to try, but you should be yielding great results from that. Overall great turnaround

    That was the only one I had. It looked much better in person than it does in the picture. The lighting is weird in that picture.

    I can't take all the credit, I used more Adam's products than I can count.
