2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Convertible in for a paint correction and coating with CQuartz Finest. Car arrived with 800 miles on the odometer. This car is a great example of the level of finish possible on what many see as a "new" car coming from one of the largest Lamborghini dealers. The entire car was covered in a dulling haze and holograms were found throughout vehicle including under the mirrors and even indoor jams.



Main Issues:

Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms

Swirl marks and wash marring

Deeper rids on engine cover and hood

Lack of gloss and clarity







Entire hood was covered in Rotary holograms and haze











Holograms found on driver side intake vent. To be honest I'm not even quite sure how they managed to hologram some areas on this car. The spaces were so tight it would be almost impossible to fit a rotary.











Rotary haze covered entire vehicle















Engine cover















Door Jams







Wash process was carried out to remove dealer applied glaze.



















Vehicle was decontaminated with Iron-X, clay bar and then was prepped for polishing work.



Haze removed











The hoods condition was clearly visible even under ambient fluorescent lighting.







Hood 50/50











Driver side door































Fender clarity coming out great. These areas had heavy concentrations of RIDS and swirls.







Passenger side door, clarity revealed.







I always pull the car out into the sun during the compounding step. Sometimes even under the best fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting defects escape you. Not in the sun, the light of truth.









































Rear bumpers had heavy concentrations of rotary holograms. These defects were actually removed (Properly) with a rotary then finished down on a DA.











Final polishing completed, the true gloss and shine is now*apparent.*











Stunning reflection from the passenger side rear fender.*



















Vehicle was then prepped for Finest with two wipedowns of Eraser. Then Finest was applied in two separate coatings.













Now for the pictures you have been waiting for. In the sun, there is no compromising.*















































Thanks for viewing,

Looks amazing in the after shots!



Even after all these years, I'm still stunned at the level of work turned out by "detailers" at high end dealerships and how everyone involved thinks that type of work is acceptable.
 
Great job Tim! I have 2013 Gallardo LP560-4 same color..I made also paint correction but the paint is easily scracthing after the correction. did you notice that?

Thank you!



Yes surprisingly this color is very soft and easy to marr and scratch. On the contrary most Lamborghini clear coats are as hard as diamonds and very difficult to induce any light marring.



Best thing to help prevent scratches is to use a proper wash method, foam, two buckets, master blaster etc. and to keep contact with the surface at a minimum. The CQuartz Finest will add additional hardness to the clear coat which helps prevent some light marring but its still best to be extremely careful with the surface.
