While we've talked LaFerrari shades on tons of occasions, this time we're here to zoom in on the (apparently) Rosso Corsa paint of such a Maranello halo car. Alas, it seems the reason for this in-detail look is not the happiest one, with a British detailing company complaining about the factory paint defects of this LaF.
We're talking about Miracle Detail, which isn't at its first hybrid Prancing Horse. However, the Youtube description of the first video below, which shows various finish issues, reads: "Brand new with swirl marks, scratches, buffer marks, and deep sanding marks, how nice of the factory to give these away free with your new million+ pound LaFerrari,"

Of course, such a statement is difficult to believe, so a commenter asked for more details, with Paul Dalton, who handles the detailing company, replying: "It got driven straight from the factory to myself. Most of the defects are sanding marks from the factory where they have sanded the paint but not removed all the da sanding marks as seen in this video the rest is buffer marks again from the factory,"

We too are sitting here with a raised eyebrow. However, before moving any further, we must explain that one poor (and unmentioned) washing job that could've taken place along the way might be responsible for the swirl marks, for example. And yet it's hard to believe that all the issues you'll see here come from one or two improper washing jobs.

It's not uncommon to see less-than-perfect paint finishes on supercars and hypercars, with many owners turning to details who spend days on giving high-octane monsters the perfect finish.

In fact, the let's-make-things-perfect job we see here is a five-day plan - the intro of the first video below dedicates plenty of time to showing you the problems, with the rest of the footage shedding some light on how these issues can be overcome.
