I have the detailing BLUES: Ferrari F430, Lambo Murcielago, GTO

[TH0001]

I will get back to doing some full write-ups, but I am so backed up with detailing and trying to keep an eye on you guys that is impossible right now. Plus a couple of interesting things I am testing.
Anyways, enough with apologetic preamble, most of the paint correction and detailing via Meguiars and myself, the LSP is Blackfire Wet Diamond over Fire. Let me know what you think!

The paint on the Lambo wasn't too bad in terms of the amount of defects (most where pretty light) but there was a ton of RIDS. I spent most of the first day just going over the car with M105 and wool pad, with some areas taking 4-5 aggressive passes to get the RIDS out. Then it was M205 on a Lake Country White pad on a rotary and finally M205 on a Meguiars Finishing Pad (Soft Buff 2.0)

I didn't take a lot of time to document the process, but here is a before of the black area using the flash of my camera.



After M105/Wool x2 and M205 LC White Pad (haven't final polished yet)



The single stage black panels and engine cover where in the worst shape and the paint was very very hard.





After polishing (I always try to get very similar angles, but at the end of day two, when I was taking my after shots, it was very overcast )





Only the deeper rids showed up on the blue before picture...



The owner had just bought this car from a friend. Apparently the previous owner never cleaned the leather. After soaking in Leatherique for a day... The side nearest the bottom of the screen is the after, the side of the driver's nearest the console is the before. Kinda gross!



A couple more afters...

That is some awesome work!

Where can I find customers with cars like that? At the intersection of Hard Work Drive and Experience Lane? That's what my GPS is set for.

Awesome work. I especially like what you did with the wheels and tires. Nice, matted, mature shine . None of that "dripping wet" look on rubber, which I think has gone out of style in recent times. (Thankfully).
