hey guys on today's episode we're

working on this a Ferrari 812 compe $1

million car absolutely Spectacular Now

we all know when a car leaves any

manufacturer and comes to the United

States it's been on a boat for God knows

how long it's going to need a little bit

of love so how are we going to actually

clean a $ million car find out today on

this episode of drive and

[Music]

protect big thank you to our sponsor

factors for helping us out with today's

video more on this during lunch the 812

comp a or alerta meaning open top is a

limited series Target top only 599 are

being built with this one being one of

599 it comes with 8819 Horse 6.5 L V12

that revs to 9,500 RPM and sounds

glorious it's a new exhaust pipe now the

new exhaust pipe introduces a gasoline

particle filter and a second pair of

resonators while maintaining in a medium

to high frequency sound excellent

Acoustics crazy performance and overall

Aesthetics the bottom line is this thing

can go from 0 to 62 in 2.85 seconds 0 to

124 mph in 7 1/2 seconds and it tops out

at 21 M an hour and oh yeah it comes

with an open top just insane in my

opinion the V12 is by a mile the best

sounding engine ever so this thing is a

hammer anyhow like most new cars these

days we need to get the paint to look as

good as the engine sounds so step one is

to get her off the ground and remove the

[Music]

wheels check this out what super cool on

the cup 2 RS is look at the inside here

that is

purposefully slick so that's why it's

actually designed when I first looked at

it I was like w these tires are already

Bal what happened but that's how it's

actually designed very very cool I was

talking to some guys at Ferrari that is

a mean Tire with the Ferrari up on the

lift clearly you can see it's it's brand

new there's a little bit of dirt here

and there just from driving around the

driveway here so we're going to give it

a quick clean up and I like to do that

as the first thing so when it's up on

the lift first thing is I like to be

able to look on the back side of each of

the uh calipers get a really good look

of if it is in fact dirty or not in this

case it's not but we are going to go

through it the cool part is when you're

underneath a car like this this entire

diffuser is carbon fiber absolutely

amazing check that

out next I soaked the undercarriage in

brute and boost anti- salt as it's

incredibly cold Icy snow and there's

sand and salt outside and I don't know

if this thing was driven outside when it

was picked up by the flatbed or it was

loaded while it was inside so just safer

to assume it was driven outside and to

dissolve any salt if there's any

there

[Music]

based on what I could see when I was

underneath removing the under trays

would just be unnecessary and also keep

in mind if you have compressed air it is

definitely your friend here so use it if

you have

it first we're going to pre- soak the

paint in ammo boost to break down the

mineral deposits as you can see on the

glass here there's water spots

everywhere pretty typical cuz the car

goes from port to port as it comes to

the United States same kind of concept

in Winter sand and salt you want to use

ammo boost with foam or ammo boost with

brute to break down those salt to

prevent rust so first step here is to

soak the car in ammo boost okay so I'm

right in the middle of this paint

correction but it is now time to refuel

to keep my brain focused on a million

dooll car and to do that of course I'm

having factor for lunch for multiple

reasons number one I just don't have

time to get caught up in the fast food

line number two it's l expensive but

three the big one it tastes better and

it's better for you it's a no-brainer

every week I check out their menu online

35 Plus Chef prepared dietitian approved

weekly options I always seem to find

something to eat including snacks

smoothies juices and so on for me it's

about good food shipped to my door

cooked in 2 minutes so I can get back to

polishing and running my business eating

in the back of a Rolls under the star

doesn't get any better than this all

active subscriber a factor now back to

the 812 with about 2 or 3 ounces of both

foam paint cleanser and boost anti- salt

in the reservoir I then filled it up

about 3/4 full with water then maxed out

the air to water mixture so that the

foam would be as dry as possible and

that it would stick to the paint and

increase its dwell time so praks are

little a little bit different and

they're done before rinsing the paint to

allow the chemical in this case the

anti- salt additives to keate to help

dissolve the salts that are on the paint

normally you would just go in and rinse

the paint first this time we're going to

pre-soak

it after a 5 minute soak then I rinse

the paint

thoroughly next I foam the paint and

wash as I would in a regular or normal

situation foam the paint foam and boost

in the bucket fill it up about halfway

then I use my blue wash towels for

gentle

agitation afterwards use the long hair

brush to reach the tight spots that tend

to have leftover wax or in this case

compound residue from the post paint

sanding

[Music]

process on the calipers I'm using ammo

Plum which is a non- acidic high pH or

basic cleaner because it works

incredibly well and it's much safer

especially on carbon ceramic that tend

to not play well with stronger

acids Just For Peace of Mind when you're

working on ceramics you got to work a

little bit quicker and then rinse quick

don't let anything dwell just again it's

a good habit to develop when you're

working on these type of high-end

cars okay during the wash as I was going

back and forth with the wash towel I

could feel and hear

listen there is just tons of overspray

on here again relatively normal uh and

typical on a car that's brand new maybe

it sat outside maybe it was in transport

who knows but it needs to be clayed the

fact that it's still wet is a good thing

so what we're going to do is take our

towel that we just used use that as

lubrication I'll just do this small spot

here make sure your clay bar uh is

lubricated but now we're using the soap

that we just used you're going to come

in short quick

strokes and I'm barely putting any

pressure on it that's a big thing most

people put way too much downward

pressure you're just kind of pulling out

all the blackheads in the

paint and now I'll go in there's a

little bit here and there nothing major

again it's a brand new car wasn't like

necessarily sitting under a tree for

years and years and years and this would

all turn let's say a little orange or

some black dots on there now listen

completely different so I've decided to

do this before I go in and actually

polish I can get it out with a wool pad

and all that junk will get stuck in the

wool pad but I'm trying to get really

close to Perfection here and I don't

want my pad to get filled up with

contamination uh from the paint so we're

actually going to Clay it now take me

about 10 15 minutes we'll be good rinse

it off again dry the paint with air and

a towel then we're going to go in and

polish it now keep in mind normally I

would use ammo hydrate during the drying

process let's say of a normal wash but

because I'm actually going to polish it

afterwards we're not going to use

it to clean the removed Wheels once

again I'm using Amal Plum wheel brush

and a towel now clearly these things

aren't disgusting it's brand new plus it

has ccbs they're not going to throw off

a whole lot of dust so my goal here is

really just kind of looking around for

any new tire glue stickers or anything

that is going to interfere with Coating

in the next

step now the reason the a12 is here is

really to tighten up the paint a bit and

all of that prep work we just did

beforehand was to give us the best

opportunity for a smooth polishing

process which will in turn give us a

Flawless paint finish so we have to go

through these steps

now for the actual paint correction I'm

using a 6-in sheer wool cutting pad and

exfoliate

polish this isn't too aggressive and

it's very slow and careful methodical

sort of archaeology I think about it as

preservation I'm not trying to blast

this thing out with heavy compounds on a

car that costs more than most homes so

you're going to have to take a few extra

minutes here because it makes a whole

lot of sense and the customer who can

obtain this car at this level will

absolutely be willing to pay for that

few extra minutes that extra hour that

that's required to work in this sort of

preservation

mindset as a professional detailer you

can also think about it from a different

perspective think of it like an

insurance policy on your work and your

reputation speed is not your friend when

you're working on these types of

[Music]

cars on super light colored paints like

this it's best to shut the lights

completely off we've talked about this

before then you take your light and you

get it really really close to the paint

I'm not touching the paint but I'm super

close and now I'm looking along the sort

of flat surface of the paint as opposed

to angled and then lift this up just a

little bit and bang you can see I missed

a spot right

here and one in here it's oh it's pretty

common anytime you get into this little

wave here the little little uh you know

hump that's right here in the middle of

the hood kind of like a cow um right in

the the scoop of it you're always going

to miss a spot it's pretty common

cuz the pad doesn't sit flat so I'm

basically going to be doing this all

around the car in the dark and then I'll

turn the lights on polish so I can see

what I'm doing and then I'll come back

and inspect it again the lights off and

kind of hop around till I find a the

Right View so this is what takes forever

in a day doing cars like this but it's

[Music]

fun

[Music]

as you can see right here there's just

marks that can't come off with wiping so

I have to use my 1in pneumatic to clean

up the plastic lenses although as I just

mentioned I always try to stick with the

larger sheer cutting pad sometimes you

do have to drop down to a 1 or 2in pad

these tail lights are a perfect example

of

that

on the soft piano black areas near the

rear bumper the a pillers in the mirrors

the swirls are super visible because

it's super soft it's black and there's

just nowhere to hide for this area I

went back to the 6in pad and exfoliate

now the trick here is to work extra

clean and blow out the pad more often

because there's more residue coming off

because it's super

soft clearly you can see the difference

night and day it looks really good now

if you look really closely you can

actually see a ton of fibers coming off

the pad when I'm working on the driver's

side that's because there's actual screw

holes in the plastic that are there for

the license plate and they're really

sharp and essentially it's slicing the

fibers off the pad as I polish around

the hose I'm not sure if you noticed

that but anyways on the smaller areas I

went back in with the 1 in for the super

tight

spots

[Music]

beautiful

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay so for those of you watching super

closely you'll notice that I did the a

pillar with a 6-in machine this really

should have been done with a 3-in

machine so if you're uncomfortable

definitely use a 3-in maybe a 2in in

these little areas but I decided to use

a 6in why I have new pads you can see

the pad right here as I turn it you can

see that it's straight cut that's why we

call straight cut waffle and normally

pads have a little bit of a taper now

what's the big deal when you have a

taper and you're working in a smaller

area you have a tendency to flop over as

the as the pad is rotating you could hit

this matte area or hit down here or hit

here where you don't want to hit when

you straight cut it right down like that

it's way more precise I'm not

encouraging you necessarily to use it

all the time on a 3-in unless you're

super comfortable with the machine so

what I did as you saw is I tilted if you

tilt a little bit and you're comfortable

with the machine you can actually use a

6 in and a 3 in why does that matter it

matters for two reasons one you've

increased the size of the surface area

that's going to help you with residue

control especially on piano black very

very critical the second thing is in

terms of speed I can move much faster

because I'm not changing machines I'm

not changing pads and I can go through

and continue working quicker quicker

quicker again time is money in a

professional setting so I just want to

give you a little bit of behind the

scenes as to why I did that cuz I know I

was going to receive some emails like

why are you using a 6 in in this tiny

little area it's because I can

manipulate the P the angle just a little

bit this pad is really incredibly

helpful in those areas but again if

you're uncomfortable use a 3-in you're

good to go I'm going to repeat this on

the other side I have to do the top then

we're going to clean it up again and

we're going to start polishing the

calipers put the wheels back on and then

we got to put the clear bra on tooo lots

to do next up was the engine carbon

fiber and it needed some love as well

and it's everywhere it looks absolutely

spectacular to bring it back I used the

3-in lhr75 and the waffle foam pad with

exfoliate to remove the

[Music]

imperfections

after all the paint was done I then

polished out the calipers as well in

preparation for a coating on both the

wheels and the calipers themselves now

it's kind of exciting from a nerd

perspective that this car with carbon

ceramic brakes coated wheels and coated

calipers it's a very simple power

washing of the wheels after driving

that's all that's needed and the thing

is going to look absolutely amazing so

that is the secret if you want to spend

crazy money and never have to clean your

wheels that's the way to do it over the

next few days we clear Brad the entire

car especially the diffusers are

definitely going to catch a rock on

pretty much every single ride so it's

smart to put it there but it was so cold

outside that we actually needed a

portable heater to keep the paint

protection film The ppf the clear bra

really flexible when you put it on so

keep that in mind if you're working in

cold areas you're going to need to make

sure your shops are really warm

naturally just about then I got a knock

on my door I heard somebody outside and

you could see it is freezing out here we

got a surprise arrival of the Ferrari

Daytona sp3

[Music]

so this was a coordinated surprise for

my client he's going to come in and see

the 812 and I'm going to surprise him

with this so make sure you stay tuned

for the

reveal anyhow with the Daytona now in

the studio and my garage seemingly all

bright yellow I refocused on the a12 by

applying reflex Pro 2 over the paint

protection film to do that give the

bottle a healthy Shake apply seven or

eight drops to a blue microfiber

applicator pad and work one section at a

time in a thick coat and allow it to

cure until you see a rainbow then remove

it with two white final WIP towels when

you're buffing off the coating make sure

you spend some time gently leveling the

coating with your towels let it Harden

overnight but you do want to spend some

time kind of manipulating it and making

sure it sits perfectly level so you get

the maximum

reflection if you're wondering it's yes

reflex can be applied over matte ppf as

well if you can see on the roof there

it's actually going to increase the

depth of matte finish ppf it's not going

to give it Shine but you will see a

deeper richer look and as you can see

here the 50 it looks 10 times better so

we completed that same process on all

the matte ppf as well with the coating

now curing I played with the dirty

interior by first blowing the alant toow

carpets notice I didn't say mattes the

carpets are actually alcantar which is

pretty cool now I did that with the

diffuser to make vacuuming much easier

after everything was dislodged now

remember it's Alcantara so as I'm blow

it just like a steering wheel or a seat

it's lifting up those fibers making it

way easier to vacuum later

on next I cleaned the door and the seats

with lather and a towel there was no

brushes needed there wasn't anything

really bad obviously it's just a light

wipe down because there's a bunch of

dust from the transportation and she was

good to go lastly I cleaned up the glass

and removed all of the inspection and

quality assurance Factory stickers and

added mud tire dressing to the rubber

for a fresh clean

look

all right guys we're done with the

Ferrari a12 what a spectacular vehicle

sounds incredible now the paint was

actually pretty good and we went way

overboard made it look spectac put a

clear bra on it coating the whole nine

yards so Dominic's going to be pumped

now he hasn't seen it yet and the

interesting thing is it's snowing

outside so normally what I do as I go

for a ride in this and show you but I'm

not going to do that especially with a

car with this much horsepower and

basically riding on slick you have the

Michelin cup two RS not a good look so

we're actually going to flatb it

enclosed over to Dominic's uh place but

he's coming over here to see the car

first what he doesn't know is during

that time I've had it for like a week or

two maybe 10 10 12 days during that time

the Ferrari deip called and said hey we

actually have his big Tona we're going

to ship it up to you and have it so that

you can work on it and surprise Dominic

so it's right there he doesn't know that

it's here so I said hey Dom come over

here check out the a12 and so when he

walks in he's going to be like oh my God

he's got two

unbelievable Ferraris in here so we're

kind of excited about that this is the

one that's been detailed check that out

looks looks crazy look at that and then

this one I just got off the uh the

trailer so we have a bunch of work to do

on that on the next one so he's coming

in let's go surprise him think he's

here hey hey good to see you good to see

why are we outside uh because I I just

wanted you to feel the cold I'm feeling

I'm feeling it say are you excited to

see the a12 I excited to see the a12

it's only been weeks here you go he

who surprise oh my God so Ferrari called

and said hey can we drop off the Daytona

and I was like you know what I'm about

to see Dominic and I think he might be a

little surprised I'm definitely a little

surprised cuz they've been like dragging

on when the heck they were going to

deliver this thing oh my God so what's

your favorite color again I can't quite

it's not yellow yeah exact unbelievable

this thing is super cool obviously

that's the shiny one this one just came

off the uh the truck so it's a little on

the dirty side it's dirty and the

pictures definitely don't do it justice

they sent me a bunch of pictures on it

first time seeing it in person first

time seeing it in person just AB stripes

the inverted stripes on the steering

wheel like very very nice absolutely

amazing spec and the paint's in pretty

decent shape prent shape for coming off

car we're going to go through this and

that's going to be the next episode it's

going to look like that it's going to

look like this one today the uh the 812

we cleaned up it's actually decent paint

we made it better okay but um so that

that's good so it was a good base we

cleaned it all up put a clear bra on

everything then put Pro on there you

know so did you clear the matte car oh

my God it looks like it's it's not even

there even this here this has all been

cleared even underneath has bin but

obviously so what you're telling me is I

could drive it you can drive it right

now but this we I didn't have the guts

to say like hey Dominic I'm coming over

right now with slick side I didn't think

you'd appreciate that probably not good

going back to the garage in this yeah

these have all been coated as well that

we took the wheels off Etc check out the

engine this is where we went a little

crazy so the engine's you know way back

in this thing it's it's too bad you

didn't get the big engine is what I was

next time next time we get the big Jesus

big engine big carbon all of this is

like perfectly clean we polished all

this out oh my God and then of course

when you start it I mean holy cow and so

this is the same engine as this yes so

my the blue 812 GTS that you cleared I

remember that one the Monza yes sp1 this

and this are all that same engine or or

all that same 800 plus horsepower engine

there's going to be two more cars with

that engine so sp4 so you have sp1 and

SP2 Monza sp1 Monza SP2 Daytona sp3 sp4

will be the last of the Icona series

that's going to come in a couple of

years so that'll have the 12 cylinder

and from what we've heard this may at

the Miami Grand Prix they're going to

launch the 812 um GTS replacement and

they're actually going to launch the

coupe and the convertible on the same

day at the Miami Grand Prix and that

will be the last launch of a 12-cylinder

car are you getting that one yeah of

course of course don't be ridiculous

Larry exactly you have to I know I can

give you one guess what color it's going

to

be actually no it won't be yellow what's

it going to be I don't know cuz it won't

it's uh you know can it's not a special

series car so if you notice like my f8

my 296 you know the famous 296 I

remember um the 812 are all different

colors it's only my special series cars

that I do in the yellow right so they

F12 tdf which this is the replacement

for right so we just sold the F12 tdf

byby had to go with this one coming in

and this had to match and when the La

Ferrari replacement comes out it will be

you know specked just like this that's

awesome are you surprised extremely

surprised waiting and waiting and

waiting and they' told me oh it's at

Port it's at the dealership it's impr

prep it's this it's that it's

everybody's making excuses and excuses

but I'm glad it's finally here on the

worst possible weather imaginable so far

for the year but she's going to be

cleaned up congratulations my friend

you're good man I'm excited this is the

next one we're going to do as always

guys thanks for watching we have a crazy

coming up soon I'll talk to

[Music]
