Lamborghini Gallardo SE Detail
Ok some of you may remember the 4 day Perfection detail we did on this Gallardo back in may, well 6 months on and im back to carry out a Top up detail:
On arrival :
The first job was the wheels, i used AS smart wheels and a few brushes and cloths etc to get to every part of them including the calipers:
Wash stage was next on the list, rinsed down and then a citrus TFR applied to the lower section before the whole car was coated in snow foam and 902 mix.
Whist the snow foam did its thing i cleaned the Badge, panel gaps and grills with a detail brush and also the door shuts with the help of a little AS G101:
After a good rinse down i began to wash the body work using a Z-sponge and DG 902 wash, re rinsed and dried off with teh aid of some Megs LT (its in the final inspection bottle) :
The car was then put back in side the garage and the paint work inspected and i must say the owner has been doing a good job of washing it as the paint was still in very good condition, the roof however being black gel coat or alike was sadly not, this stuff is so easy to mark and it shows:
These were polished using lime prime on a finishing pad, there was some light wash marring on the doors and that was taken care of using menz IP on a polishing pad, then the whole car finished down with 3M UF:
Roof after:
Wing mirror after:
Door before:
After:
The wheels where sealed using Poor boys wheel sealant, then the base coat of Jeffs Prime was applied, followed by two coats of Jett via MF cloth, the engine bay and interior was detailed also:
Tail pipes detailed:
And all that work leaves a finish like this:
As always thanks for looking
