Super cars doing a track day? It would bother me if it looked like the dark blue one. I'm not saying it needs to look perfect, a car that sees a lot of track time (or even highway for that matter) will have problems with the paint on the front bumper and hood because of rock chips. You can also have fine dirt almost sand blast the front of the car. Doesn't mean the car still can't look good.

I don't even like seeing econo cars looking like that Bugatti.

And we are not talking about a $10000 car. Image is everything when you have a price tag as large as that. They are in the business of selling cars, make it look as good as it works.

Yup, your head would absolutely explode I've seen many cars that make that one look shiny.... Funny thing, I was told if you are worrying about fingerprints and whether it looks perfect ~ "You're doing it wrong". That was from one of our key members that has a current stable with 25+ vehicles at any given time [including an enzo and the three before it]. So, I think I'll take pointers from him because he's clearly doing something right.

Then I will do it wrong. I agree with not worrying about every little mark because if it is used it will get marked some how. But it can still look its best. The cropped photo shows what really caught my eye. That paint should look better.

Here is another example of what I'm looking at on that car. Here is the hood of a BMW that I had to detail at my shop.
