'08 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder detail

1 Clean WS6

Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!!



You know what I'm going to say....I love my job. :drool:



I've detailed some beautiful pieces of iron in my 7+ years of doing this full time but today's detail was indeed the cherry on top of the cake. This gorgeous raging bull belongs to a long time regular client of mine. For years he had been talking about buying a Lambo and he finally decided to pull the trigger. Joy for us both!!!! I can't describe this car any better than "sex on wheels". In person you can't help but just stare at the thing. The rear biased AWD system is powered by a 5.0L V10 rated at 520hp and 376ft-lbs and runs through a 6 speed clutch-less manual. The engine sound is simply heaven and 100% fits the overall persona of the car.



This particular Lambo is brand spanking new showing just 360 miles on the odo. It had not been touched since delivery but alas it appears even a $200K Lamborghini is not immune to Dexter the Dealer Jock with his rotary set to swirl. The car was literally covered from stem to stern with rotary burn. I tried to capture a picture of it...

If you look closely you can see that the buffer trails run the entire length of the hood. Each individual louver even had a burn...he was very thorough!! What often kills me when I see buffer burn like this is the fact that there is still marring underneath the holograms!! I tested a few spots on the car and thank the heavens was greeted with uber soft clear so I went with a very mild approach for the correction. Below is a description of process and products used for the detail.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:

Sweet ride!!!

You turned that car into a mirror.



any repercussions regarding the horrible prep on such a $$$ car? that's totally unacceptable.
 
I will NEVER understand how an exotic car dealer (or any dealer for that matter) can be so short-sighted as to employ these destructive trained monkeys to destroy the finishes of these expensive machines. It makes no sense.



Also amazing how few people actually know how to properly use a rotary (I don't know how myself, but that's why I don't use one).



Great work fixing that mess. :bigups
