Pearl Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo
I detailed this car last week and got done just before it rained, so I only have 1 outside shot (which doesn't do it justice) and the rest are taken in the showroom. I will try to take some more pictures the next nice sunny day.

The pearl paint on this car looks absolutely insane in the sunlight. It's kind of a yellow/ orange flip-flop. Just so you all know, the wheels are a graphite color so they are not dirty! The paint was in fairly decent shape, but you could see minor scartches & swirls in the clearcoat.

My process:

Washed complete exterior

Cleaned wheels, tires & wheel wells

Detailed engine compartment

Buffed hood with IP using cutting pad

Buffed complete exterior with Optimum Polish

Hand application of Werksttatt's Prime to complete exterior & wheels

Hand application of Acrylic Jett

Hand application of S100

Dressed tires & wheel wells w/Super Blue Dressing

PICS:

Great work.

Sean, you should come to Boston.

I've got plenty of cars around to detail!

Rick, Another great job!

Can't wait for the outside pics in the sun to see the flake-bling.

The paint looks incredibly wet...especially for a lighter color!

Seems like the Werkstatt twins are working out well for you.
