One of my good customers traded in his '04 Murcielago in on a new LP640 Roadster a few months back. It had been detailed once prior by the dealership before he got it and it was not in the type of shape that he prefers with all his cars. So he went with my 2-Step Package to clean the paint up, plus he wanted the rims waxed and the engine bay wiped down and carbon pieces waxed.
As all Lambos paint is rather rock solid. Correction with the Griots just wasnt happening to the standards I wanted for this car. So had to attack it with the Dewalt and variable speeds after a few seciton passes. One thing I do love about these paints is that SIP and a Rotary is all you need for cutting. Always seems to give me dam near full correction everytime.
Also tried out my new DD Uber Buffing Pads today and I must say...####### amazing. I will never order another LC Pad again. These pads seem to buff better, be more well made and just all around good pads.
Process:
Wash:
Foam w/ CG Citrous Wash
Wash w/ CG Citrous Wash via TBM
Rims w/ Sonax Full Effect & Assorted Brushes
Clayed w/ Pinn Ultra Poly Clay w/ ONR Lube

SIP w/ Uber Orange Pad via Dewalt 849 rpms 1400 - 1800 - 1200

Pulled outside and foamed off to remove dust. Edges, Emblems and Bezels clean with Swissvax Brush

After washing, claying and drying, got it inside and looked at the paint under my flashlight.
