got another 2 lambo`s booked in this week god i love my job ;)

[A-KA-MONN]

Nice job on the Lambo. It seems like the owner took it threw the car wash with all that swirlls.

[AL417]

Wow, it looks like one big mirror. Exceptional work.

[Gary Sword]

Great Job! I love the looks of the Countash. I still think about getting one the only bad thing is it drives like a truck.

[Driven Auto Detail]

All I can say is WOW!!! You're work is truly amazing!

[scottgt]

wow awesome...im trying to get my friend to let me detail his lambo gallardo...:)

[P1et]

Great details!

Hey Gary, you can always buy a nice replica Countash if you want!!!

[Jimmie]

Wicked reflections. Beautiful.

[Gary Sword]

Great details!

Hey Gary, you can always buy a nice replica Countash if you want!!!

No thanks on the replica P1et. About a 1 1/2 years ago I had a change to buy an 88 Countach from a collecter for $65,000. The car was in mint condition with only 6,000 km on it. My wife highly disapproved of the transaction so I ended up not buying it. The cars have been going for about $100,000 lately. I did have a chance to drive a Countach a few years back. The interior of the car definitely shows it's age but the exterior is so classic. In terms of perfomance and ease of driving it does not compare to my Gallardo but I just love the looks of the Countach.

Did you take a paint thickness reading after the polishing? Just curious.

Nice job there!

[Nica]

That is one fine looking vehicle, wow I love those curves. I would agree with Gary looks are good but driving the Gallardo is better.

Sweet detail, question (I may have missed this) but what wax did you use? Sorry I'll go back and check.

Great job ont he detail.

(edit) - you used Vintage, how do you like Vintage? How did you apply it?

[Truls]

Oh man that is nice car. one of the first super cars i remember from my younger days...

Paint looks great too, before all the restrictions and enviromental safe paint etc, less orange.
