2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster Restoration by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge.

I flew Bob out to work with me on a few cars. The day before he was scheduled to leave I got the call to restore the appearance on this 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster.

So I changed Bob's ticket and extended his stay.

Bob was very instrumental in getting this car done as it was going to be shipped out of state and the deadline was tight.

Total time spent 60+ hours collectively.

Upon initial inspection it was easy to see how severely this car had been savaged.

Front end and rockers were wrapped as well.

As it was delivered.

All plastic grilles were dried out.

Engine compartment needed some attention.

Paint readings were healthy.

Top was installed prior to the wash and decon stage.

Wheel cleaner attacking the grime.

The paint was loaded up with LSP and needed to be stripped away.

Stripped.

Grilles being removed to be restored to a new state.

Inside after the wash.

More defects.

50/50 after compounding.

Taillights needed some work as well.

DA sand scratches.

Washing after the compounding stage.

Bob cleaning the honeycomb grilles. This took some time as they were splattered with old compound from the previous detailer.

Carbon fiber rockers were a little rough.

Corrected.

That car turned out nothing short of outstanding. Great job you guys. The 60+ hours shows up in the final product. Everything has a very fresh look to it. Very nice. Car looks better than new.

That car was scratched in places I didn't even know could be scratched! It looks way better that it did when it was new. Very nice work boys.

 

[Flash Gordon]

Unbeliveable work you guys pulled off on this one :wow:

 

[chetsteadman]

Just how in the world does a person let a vehicle like this get so trashed? Great work on the turnaround.

Awesome Job!!!
Did you remove the badges to polish behind them?

 

[jpegs13]

Great work. I know one of the hardest parts of that job was putting on the top. :laughing:

Question, you said that the front and rockers were wrapped. What products did you use there?

Again, great job!:applause:

[VMP]

Great work and fantastic car

 

[ph16]

Wow! BEE-U-TEE-FULL! I'm a novice and hope I can get to just half of the level you're at! That Lambo looks AWESOME!

 

[Showroom Shine]

GREAT! You are at a level in Detailing that few even consider reaching or even think about. Totally awesome!

Richie,

I was actually shocked the some of the before photos. It just goes to prove some people just don't care what they do to the car as long as someone else fixes it!

The end product is simply outstanding and restores the proud heritage to the name Lamborghini..

Fantastic work guys!! rops:
