La Bella Firma, Round Two. 50 hours on a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (330 pics, long)

[Old Pirate]

I had to come back for another look.......Superb looking!.................Yep Brian does need a trim...no...a haircut...:laugh:

[imported_shine]

It would not have been a waste since my car would still be incredibly clean. LOL



I`m embarrassed how dirty it was; you don`t realize how dirty it is in real life when you just run out of the house and jump in your car, seeing the pics I see how filthy it really was; ugh.:down

So how long before it gets to go to the track again?



Very nice car and color choice BTW. I bet its a blast to drive.

I have a problem...I can`t find any words for this kind of detail...help....



lol



Amazing work!!!!!!!!!!

[johny]

Wow ... I can`t believe I actually looked at every picture.



Your work never ceases to amaze me, Todd.



Looking at this job reminds me of watching "CSI" ...



That Gallardo Spyder is gorgeous.



And here I thought I was being a badass because I started using a crevice brush between my front seats.

amazing work! this is what i strive to be!

On purpose! I believe that is a picture of a brake caliper which was scuffed when the rim loosened on the car (and wobbled on the highway). The dealership "refinished" the caliper and it had staining that some people on another forum said looked like brake dust.

I saw the post. He did not come across as very kind. Don`t worry, it`s perfect in my eyes.

Very true! That`s an appropriate tag under your user name.



Beautiful car. Enjoy! Oh yeah, it`s great to see someone actually use the car the way that it was designed versus the "driving" that most owners do. :2thumbs:

Whoever said that was a dumb ass; here`s what it looked like after the wheel broke off:







I`m just lucky it happened after I pulled off on the shoulder rather than at 80 mph; could be dead.

Yep, all my cars are dirty LOL, but particularly the Chevy since it sits outside; pickups are supposed to be dirty though I think, gives you redneck street cred. LOL

Nice attention to detail!









Wow, that is dramatic. It`s a lot easier to see now versus when you were showing me on the camera.







You are very welcome! Any time bro. Glad to help.







That`s a lot of work, but it would have been a waste to not document it. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together. It goes without saying, but amazing work as usual!

Thanks Hulk for all kind words dude. I appericate it and your help (again!).

Personally I`m glad it was dirty. Dirt washes away easily enough and makes the difference a little more dramatic.

So I guess to summarize, if you have a multi-day detail you will use Leatherique but if it is a one day detail you will use Leather Masters?



Which Leather Masters products do you use? Strong Clean, Vital Conditioner and Protection Cream? Approx how much of each would have been used on that Gallardo had you used Leather Masters? I know Leatherique requires quite a bit of product, wasn`t sure if Leather Masters was the same.



As always, thanks for the information you share with us.

Leather Masters applies the same as traditional cleaner/conditioners. I use it because I have some but will probably stick to Zaino Z9/Z10 for more regular cleaning/conditioning routines as I don`t see that much of a difference.

Yeah he looks like a tennis player...

Thanks Johny. Agreed that the car is gorgeous, I think the color/body work perfectly together.

Thansk dmw.

Thanks `67.

Dirt adds UV protection, IMO. If the I can`t see the paint, neither can the UV rays (well at least it sounds good). In that case your truck will last for a very long time!

Phenominal work and amazing write-up Todd!



I love Lambos in such bright colors.



The pictures look perfect too!! Probably the best I`ve seen from you... :kewlpics



You`re the man!! Keep up the great work!

[Greg Nichols]

UHHHHHHHHH.........cannot think of words to describe the workmanship!



If you were only closer I would "apprenticeship" with you for hours to refine my detailing.



Cheers,

GREG
