Final Pictures

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is equipped with `SS` 20 spoke wheels. This Super Sport`s wheels

were finished with a `Diamond Cut` two-tone and perfected by Bella Macchina.

The weave of the blue carbon glistened under the reflective finish of the finally polished lacquer.

The highly polished lacquer and clear weave made the Bugatti appear alive when walked around.

The gas fill cover, engine vents, and wheels were painted a bespoke blue at the factory and polished by Bella Macchina.

With a top speed of over 265 miles per hour, the Bugatti`s front end is the proverbial `nuke` to insects all over the world.

The swirl free sunlight reflections of highly polished and accurate paint.

The underside of the rear wing was polished as well, resulting in the accurate reflection of the hydraulic mechanism that

raises it (when traveling fast or `armed`.)

The combination of a highly polished lacquer, carbon blue weave, and an a curvaceous body make the Bugatti Veyron

Super Sport stunning in bright light, at any angel.

Chris Schlumpf, of Bugatti USA, a professional photographer as well, sent a couple pictures of the Bugatti after

driving for several days

Jet Reception Pictures- Immediately after detailing the Bugatti Veyron, Bryan Burnworth hoped on a plane to return home.

I drove the Bugatti to the Jet Center Reception close bye were it was to be the star of the show.

Special Thanks to:

Bryan Burnworth- Peach State Detail, LLC- for flying down from Georgia, working 11 hours, and getting straight on a plane right after he finished. Up until the last minute we did think Bryan was going to make it. Then he showed up, grabbed the hose, and started spraying.

Mike Pennington from Meguiar`s- For recommending me for the job and setting the entire thing up. Thank you for the trust!

Bob Willis- Auto Concierge and Richie Carbone- Richie`s Custom Detailing- for volunteering to help out due to the time crunch. Unfortunately the Tampa International Airport was apparently pressuring Bugatti USA about having too many people walking around in a secured area. Irregardless the offer was awesome!

I hope the write-up was enjoyable, comments or critiques welcome!

Wow dude! What can you ever do to top this? It`s the coolest car I`ve ever seen and you got a chance to detail AND drive it - damn! Congrats Todd!

I was busting "Todds balls" on when the write up was going to be posted, but the diagrams and "Stuff" are much harder than the actual job.................

Great work Bryan & Todd.

Great work Todd & Bryan. Another epic thread. I wish I could have made it out to help.

Thanks Mush. I`m not sure about the Legend part, I will settle for just extremely dedicated and absolutely lucky!

Thank you Tom! The hanger was actually open for most of the day. At one point we had 4-5 young guys in business suites show up and oogle over the car. Bryan chased them off (we had to get back to work). Later we found out they were players on the Tampa Bay Lighting NHL team.

To be perfectly honest it wasn`t fun when we were working on it. The paint is SO HARD and there were (and still are) some really deep rids, but we did our absolute best in the time we had. Thank you for the compliments.

Thanks June. Driving it (not very far!) was kind of scary to be honest. Although the sound the (four!) blow-off valves make when you let off the gas is amazing!

You would have gotten turned away at the gate so its a good thing you didn`t make it up. It was sad though as I kept imagining an epic thread with Bob, Richie, Bryan, you and myself. It would have been a lot of talent in one place and perhaps we could have gotten it perfect in the time allowed.

Thanks for the compliment.

Heh... Bob, that`s a valid point, but I read this write-up on Todd`s website what seems like at least a month or so ago now.... :geez

Still, an absolutely epic job and incredible write-up to boot!

OMG! Epic write up! You`re always setting the bar higher with your write ups Todd! :jaw:

Great work both of you, and what an awesome car to work on!

I was going to say the same thing! The write up and pics probably took as long as the detail! Excellence on both accounts my friend! And we can`t leave Bryan out either

I`ve seen good and I`ve seen great but this beats them both simply amazing on perhaps one of the greatest cars built. Are you ever nervous doing cars this expensive?
