Ferrari California / Portofino detailing in Houston
The California and the Portofino that followed are Ferrari's folding-hardtop grand tourers, front-engine V8s with small rear seats, and the Ferraris most often driven regularly.
Paint and interior on the California / Portofino
Paint and exterior
The hardtop folds into the trunk, so its edges, the trunk seals and the area around the stowed roof hold dust. Older California paint often has swirls and dull spots on the hood, and black or silver cars show it most.
Interior
The rear seats are small but they get used, usually for bags. Leather is often two-tone with contrast stitching that holds dirt in the seams, and the driver's side bolster wears first.
Living in Houston
A California in Katy or Sugar Land often goes top-down on spring evenings, which means oak pollen on the seats and carpets, plus water spots in the trunk channels if the roof folds while still wet.
- Nappa or fine-grain leather: cleaned with a pH-balanced leather cleaner and a soft brush, then a non-greasy conditioner.
- Light-colored seats are popular: denim dye transfer and sunscreen stains are cleaned early, before they set in the heat.
What a California / Portofino costs to detail
The California / Portofino is priced as sedan / coupe. Prices are by vehicle size and assume normal condition. Heavy pet hair, sand, mold, smoke or neglected paint is quoted on the call, before anything is booked. No surprises on the day.
