2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Convertible in for a paint correction and coating with CQuartz Finest. Car arrived with 800 miles on the odometer. This car is a great example of the level of finish possible on what many see as a "new" car coming from one of the largest Lamborghini dealers. The entire car was covered in a dulling haze and holograms were found throughout vehicle including under the mirrors and even indoor jams.

Main Issues:
Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms
Swirl marks and wash marring
Deeper rids on engine cover and hood
Lack of gloss and clarity



Entire hood was covered in Rotary holograms and haze





Holograms found on driver side intake vent. To be honest I'm not even quite sure how they managed to hologram some areas on this car. The spaces were so tight it would be almost impossible to fit a rotary.





Rotary haze covered entire vehicle







Engine cover







Door Jams



Wash process was carried out to remove dealer applied glaze.









Vehicle was decontaminated with Iron-X, clay bar and then was prepped for polishing work.

Haze removed





The hoods condition was clearly visible even under ambient fluorescent lighting.



Hood 50/50





Driver side door















Fender clarity coming out great. These areas had heavy concentrations of RIDS and swirls.



Passenger side door, clarity revealed.



I always pull the car out into the sun during the compounding step. Sometimes even under the best fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting defects escape you. Not in the sun, the light of truth.




















Rear bumpers had heavy concentrations of rotary holograms. These defects were actually removed (Properly) with a rotary then finished down on a DA.





Final polishing completed, the true gloss and shine is now#apparent.#





Stunning reflection from the passenger side rear fender.#









Vehicle was then prepped for Finest with two wipedowns of Eraser. Then Finest was applied in two separate coatings.




 
Now for the pictures you have been waiting for. In the sun, there is no compromising.#

























Thanks for viewing,

Wow amazing work bro! That's my dream car. What light were you using for the paint correction?
 
Great job!! props for getting this type of car for work ,it is a beauty
 
looks amazing! wish I had opportunities to work on cars like this!
 
Carr looks great :) It always amazes me getting high ends cars like this being trashed.
 
Awesome work. That thing looks like a 2013 Lamborghini should look after you got done with it. Its crazy to think people don't cherish vehicles that cost so much.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys! Surprisingly many exotics come from the factory like this, which is sad but means theres alot of work out there for us! :props: The owner was very satisfied with its transformation.

Very nice job! I am amazed people would take delivery on a car this expensive in that condition. What would make better sense, is for a high end dealer to hire you professional guys to fix the cars before being sold. However, that won't happen since most people don't even notice stuff like this, which makes no sense. They wouldn't buy a scratched up Rolex from a jeweler and be content with it. :confused:
 
How were you able to compound in the sun on a black car? Wouldn't you be chiselling that stuff off?
