We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

            The Blancpain Super Trofeo, Lamborghini's own one-make*racing series where the fastest drivers from around the world compete against each other. It's no wonder that when Lamborghini decided to make the centerpiece of the Gallardo model-line, it chose the Super Trofeo Stradale name-sake and made the agile supercar lighter and even faster than ever. *Only 150 units built worldwide and we got to detail the only one in the country. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristics of the STS would be the massive rear wing which comes from the racing series providing extreme downforce whilst being adjustable. The removable engine cover is made of dry-carbon and is nothing short of being breathtakingly aggressive.*



            But the most unique identity of the supercar is the special Rosso Mars colour. A deep crimson red colour which almost seems like blood.



            This is Malaysia's one and only Super Trofeo Stradale, numbered 011 of 150. A collectible if you like.*



            We took an entire week bringing out the deep brilliant paintwork finish and countless hours ensuring all the carbon-fiber panels on the exterior and interior were buffed to perfection.*



            The Super Trofeo Stradale is wicked mean. And it sounds the part too. The exhaust rumbles and bellows like a crazed beast in stock form.



            The paintwork was typical Lamborghini and required expert compounding to level the paint shrinkage and to reduce the orange-peel texture. The reflections began to take clarity and sharpness after the paintwork correction was completed.*



            Perhaps the best view of the Super Trofeo Stradale yet...



            The massive dry-cabon rear spoiler stands out like an inappropriate tattoo. Quirky, yet disturbingly necessary for it's own identity.*



            The cockpit is a hedonistic combination of rich Alcantara and carbon-fiber. And for any car enthusiast, this is heaven. We made sure we detailed it to look the part too ;-)



            Being an ultra-lightweight, there's yards of carbon-fiber everywhere you can find inside the cabin! We utilized our range of specialized ultra-fine polishes to give the carbon-fiber an astonishingly deep shine.



            Outside, it's all business...



            We covered all coachwork sections for detailing including the suspensions, brake systems and exhausts.



            The wheels got steam-cleaned, polished and protected with our track-performance coating system.



            Two-tone colour scheme with luxurious Alcantara drapes all over the cockpit.



            The Alcantara fabric was protected by a layer of ultra-dense nano-technology coating system designed to repel moisture, sweat and dirt for an entire year.*



            The water beads look strangely alluring up close...



            We hope you enjoyed the photos!

                Thanks mate!

                We're working on a few extensive restoration projects at the moment, one of which is called Project Scuderia Restore. It'll take a weathered Scuderia and transform it into a display-worthy finish. Here's a snapshot peek ;-)

                  We've been working on several intricate detailing and restoration projects, one of which is Project Scuderia Restore. One of the most common issues facing Ferrari 430 Scuderia owners is the premature degradation of the carbon-fiber components within the engine bay.



                  Essentially a manufacturing defect which occurs after some significant mileage has been clocked, the carbon-fiber components begin to lose it's clarity, turning to a high opacity off-white finish that significantly affects the aesthetic value of the vehicle. Here are some before-shots for reference:

















                  After an entire 2-weeks spent removing the damaged topcoat of the carbon-fiber monitored using a CF-specific paint thickness gauge, we ordered a custom urethane top-coat system and carefully layered the carbon-fiber pre-preg materials. An exhaustive detailing regiment was then utilized to bring out an extra-high-gloss finish with amazing depth. Enjoy the photos ;-)

                      I don't think the English dictionary has the words to describe what I just saw or the feeling I have in my pants...bhahahaha.

                      Great work. I'm envious...Now I feel like taking my car apart and detailing it..................but that most likely won't happen.

                          We recently detailed the new 991 Carrera S which is amazingly in it's seventh generation 911 reiteration! That is certainly an unmatched feat for any supercar manufacturer in history. Aside from the larger wheelbase, an updated PDK(or Porsche Doppelkupplung if you were wondering)gearbox and new handling tweaks, the 3.8-litre flat-six engine has also been tuned on the Carrera S to 395 horses.



                          The 991 has grown noticeably larger in dimensions but my personal favorite are the extremely low-profile rear tail-lamps which look absolutely sleek!

                            We spent a week detailing the brand new 991 to burnish the paintwork to a brilliant shine and to eliminate paintwork imperfections. The paintwork, wheels and windshield was then treated with our all-weather hydrophobic Endurance coating system for a fuss-free all-year long protection.



                            Here's a peek at the 991's detailed power plant...



                            And here she is in the company of the other supercars...



                            Possibly the best angle on the new Carrera S!



                            The headlamps and daytime-running lights were also wrapped in our popular 6-mil thick stone-chip protection film to protect them from the constant gravel issue on Malaysian roads.*



                            Hope you enjoyed the photos! ;-)
