Watch This Daily-Driver Ferrari 458 Italia Get Its First Wash in Years
If you drive your car a lot, you're probably aware of just how quickly it can get dirty. The owner of this Ferrari 458 Spider learned that the hard way after using the car as a daily-driver in New York City for three years without a wash or detail. The car's paint, interior, and clear bra were all in terrible shape by the time pro detailer Larry Kosilla got ahold of it. Watch as he uses his unmatched car-care skills to make this Ferrari look like new again.
According to Kosilla, this car is owned by a friend of his that happens to also be a collector and racing driver. It's driven daily in Manhattan, meaning it's subjected to all sorts of gross weather and road conditions. Up close, it shows. The paint is in a sorry state and the clear bra material is well past its expiration date. Inside, there's plenty of built-up dust and grime in desperate need of removal.
Kosilla starts by removing the clear bra—a painfully tedious process—before doing a full paint correction and full compounding to work out any and all scratches and swirls. He then moves on to the interior, scrubbing the leather and vacuuming out the carpet. He even goes as far as to polish the wheel bolts and the insides of the wheel barrels.
After that's done, he reapplies a new clear bra that stretches the entire length of the hood. By the end of the video, the 458 looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Satisfying.
