Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Black Edition

That paint looks great. Very nice work on a great Italian exotic. Thanks for taking the time on the great write up and photographs.

Those exhaust tips turned out awesome. How did you avoid getting product inside all those small holes in the exhaust tips?
 
Great work. I wonder if the 1.4mil is an accurate reading or if the material of the underlying panel can throw off the reading? Do those thickness gauges read well on aluminum?
 
Thanks Paul!!!

Bob, I had one or two that needed to be cleaned out! LOL One of my client's favorite things was the way the exhaust tips turned out!!!

Oh, it's accurate. I use a Defelsko gauge that will read ferrous, non-ferrous, fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc. It will work on pretty much anything a vehicle is made of.
And, yes, they will work great on aluminum!
 
Another one, Scott?? My head hurts keeping up with you! Outstanding as usual!

Which model Defelsko gauge are you using? Need to get one for myself...

What's your technique for wiping up the drool while working on these beauties?

Great work as always! Amazing car!

Hey Scott, when you work with very soft paint, do you happen to cause marring when applying a ceramic coating? Did you ever run in to a situation where you applied ceramic coating only to find out it induced marring and needed to go back and re correct the panel?

I have not had this happen to me as of yet. I'm not putting that much pressure on the applicator when installing the coating. I also make sure that I have the proper flash time to make sure that the removal will be as 'easy' as possible to prevent the introduction of marring while wiping from my towels.
 
Damn Scott, yet another beauty and stellar work! Interesting italian flag calipers.

Those outside shots are simply incredible and probably better than when it was new.
 
Nice job, nice car, nice house, but most of all nice garage.
 
Fantastic work, and great to the see 'big' pictures!

Sorry we could not get together while we were down, but you are busy!
 
^^^Thanks Mike. Yeah, it was just bad timing, the holiday, the Lambo...sorry we couldn't work it out!
 
Nice work Scott, as usual... :)!!! Paint looked like it had plenty of love swirls from improper towels and washings...

Few questions, how do you like the Griot's Med Clay Mitt? I like the Nanoskin, but feel on some cars it needs more than just a "fine" clay. I've been eying the GG for a while.

Second, what kind of camera/lens are you using? It's time for me to up my game and stop using the iPhone for shots.

Lastly, where do you put your Porsche while working on these cars. I assume you keep the clients car in the garage over-night as do I. Sadly my Mustangs get peppered with Arizona desert dust and BIRD BOMBED!!! (despite not having trees on my property).
 
Thanks Paul! Appreciate it!

I like their mitt. I too feel the need for something more than a 'fine' claying is needed sometimes and the GG med mitt fits the bill. I'm on my 3rd one!

I'm using a Nikon P600.

P car stays in the garage bro! It keeps put in the 3rd bay area. She will get dusty sometimes from some compounding dust, but she's coated so it's no biggie!
