Lamborghini Superleggera
Two Step for full correction

This client responded to by request for a car needed for a magazine photoshoot spread. We set the date, the original model canceled last minute, and a new date was set. New date couldn’t work with the clients schedule, so we opted to use this car for another reason (more to come later on that).

Once the client arrived, I could see that there was just a slight amount of swirling that needed to be corrected and bring out the gloss that be shown on a car of this caliber. Obviously a year of proper wash maintenance was doing a good job, but the car lacked any real deep gloss. The car was shiny, but not glossy to my eyes. Going around the car, I spotted things that I noticed needed to be addressed…dirty wheels (HRE), dry looking carbon fiber, rough to the touch paint, smudged clear bra, etc. From front to back, the whole car needed to be addressed

Total process was about 16 hours for a two step process over the whole car.
Washed twice throughout
Clayed to remove bonded contaminants
Lightly compounded, with some areas getting spot corrected
Polish round to remove haze and restore gloss
Paintwork cleanser to prep for sealant wax application
Sealant wax application
Interior cleaning and conditioning with damp towels
Light interior polishing on doors, by hand on center console
Waxed interior doors and center console
Vacuumed and dusted interior
Wheels dressed, windows cleaned

Afters all said and done















HERE IS WHAT I NEED FROM THE AUDIENCE READING/LOOKING

Pick the best after picture you would want on the wall of your house, on your desk, etc. What is the picture (from those provided) that you would want printed? I am not a pro photographer, but rather a pro detailer/paint reconditioner, so keep that in mind!

 

In for pics!

 

So sick!! Nice work..

 

Counting down from your last post with the finished pics, 1 and 7 are the better shots. 8 could be good as well if it had the whole car in the frames.

 

The after work looks super nice. Awesome work

 

sick, awesome job

 

nice work! I need to get my ride done soon too. As for picking pictures to put on my wall?... I would take more picture, maybe with better backgrounds/new location.

 

yeah, those are all I have for now...we did have a photog crew come and photo the car, but they are lagging over a month get the pics over to me!

 

Absolutely love the yellow and black combo freshly detailed!

Thanks Greg!

 

You need to get it away from the suburbia background if you want good wall-worthy pictures.
