extreme detail : RAGING BULL

xtrememike · 05-07-08, 03:35

this car is one of my fav cars of all time so i was more than happy to detail it :thumb:

first off was again up at 4am for the 3hr drive and i couldn`t wait to get there , once i got there i just fell in love with it

:

so first off was to pre soak with the AS citrus then my own foam and left for 5 mins

then clean the wheels using the EZ brush as i think this one would be the only one that can behind the calipers :thumb: and a meg`s microfibre wash mitt

these are so lush

:

so then off to rinse the citrus and foam off. once the raging bull was rinsed it was time to wash with 2 buckets and wash mitt, i find with using the citrus and foam before the 2 bucket`s give`s me a clean rinse bucket after washing the car :thumb:

paint was not to bad just a few marks and some light swirls

so before and corection work is started all pannels are checked for thickness in paint

also my gauge is tested before hand:thumb:

so out with the makita with the meg`s polishing pad and some menz IP

then a finishing pad with menz FF

next it was out with the zaino

first off was to treat the bull with some Z6 then some Z2 pro mixed with some ZFX

left to cure the buffed off then it was time for the Z8 and i love this product

the bull was treated to 3 coats of zaino and i`m shocked on how little you need:thumb:

the bull is now been tamed and happy to be back in his home

:

at least the bull was happy i still had that 3hr drive but i dont mind if i get cars like this lol

hope you enjoyed the post as much as i enjoyed the day

Phenominal work Mike! The car looks amazing!

I really like that color

I just wish that Lambo would update the interiors on the Murci's similar to the Gallardo's. I just think they look so dated... But, I guess I would still drive it!

Looks great!

A couple questions.

What did you wash or treat the car with before Zaino application after polishing?

How much correction do you feel you achieved. I am shocked at how quickly that car seemed to correct given that every new Lambo I have worked on has hard hard paint that required at least a compound and a heavy pad to make any progress.

meg`s last touch for after the polishing

the car was not bad for swirls as they were only light swirls, so didn`t take too long to correct . there was only 2 marks left on the car as these were to deep for just a basic correction and need touching up
