Did this Lamborghini for a customer who spends most of the year traveling. His good friend brought the car over to his house so I could work on it there. Customer wanted a good bit of work done on the car, everything from buffing, leather seats cleaned and conditioned, engine bay wiped down and dressed, wheels waxed and some of the plastic honeycombs dressed. Was a pretty long job, started on it around 9:30am, took a 20 minute lunch break and finished around 9:30pm. This is not including the 3:30-4 hours worth of driving before and after.
The car was not in bad shape, just a car that has not really been cleaned if some time. Paint had minor scratches and swirls across the whole thing. Interior and engine bay were in great shape. Since I did not finish till late I was not able to get really good afters, but the owners friend said that he will get some good shots for me.

Foamed w/ CG Citrous Wash
Washed w/ CG Ctirous Wash via TBM

Anyways, the pictures...
Before:
Once it was washed, clayed and dried off...pulled it into the garage. Now some pictures of the paint under a LED light...
Hood had just been repainted about 3-4 weeks prior due to rock chips...body shop let it go like this...
But I could not do anything about it since, while I was taping it off I found this...
So after finish taping it and doing a 3 step on the driver side, took a quick breather and snaped some pictures...
Once I was done buffing, the car was covered in dust, so I backed it out to rewash it again to get the dust off and clean out any edges that might have gotten residues down in them.
Really wish the sun would have been out to at least get some sun shots.
Now foaming to help get the dust off...
After drying off, pulled it back inside. Cleaned the interior and covered the seats in a leather oil to help them start cleaning. While it was sitting on the seats knocked out the engine bay...
Well after everything was said and done, it was little dark. So I got as best pictures as I could. I am still not that good at getting pictures in lighting conditions like this, but I did what I could. I will get better pictures at a later point.
Paint after, under my bright LED light.
Now just some general overall pictures...
