My M3 is 2 mths old now and I am wondering if I should put leather conditioner on them. Historically I have used Lexol. Any comments on timing and product I should use?



thanks.



BTW, 3rd coat of Klasse SG just went on today.... Beautiful!!!

I like to put a small amount of conditioner on every two weeks, that is too often for some folks and ok for others. I use just a little, and keep it off the seams.

Top choices for me are EO1, Pinnacle leather cond., and 303 occasionally.

2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster Restoration by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge.

I flew Bob out to work with me on a few cars. The day before he was scheduled to leave I got the call to restore the appearance on this 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster.

So I changed Bob's ticket and extended his stay.

Bob was very instrumental in getting this car done as it was going to be shipped out of state and the deadline was tight.

Total time spent 60+ hours collectively.

Upon initial inspection it was easy to see how severely this car had been savaged.

Front end and rockers were wrapped as well.

As it was delivered.

All plastic grilles were dried out.

Engine compartment needed some attention.

Paint readings were healthy.

Top was installed prior to the wash and decon stage.

Wheel cleaner attacking the grime.

The paint was loaded up with LSP and needed to be stripped away.

Stripped.

Grilles being removed to be restored to a new state.

Inside after the wash.

More defects.

50/50 after compounding.

 

[Richie's Custom Detailing]

Taillights needed some work as well.

DA sand scratches.

Washing after the compounding stage.

Bob cleaning the honeycomb grilles. This took some time as they were splattered with old compound from the previous detailer.

Carbon fiber rockers were a little rough.

Corrected.

Before.

After.

More DA sand scratches.

Corrected.

Before.

After.

WOW!!!!
I am in a state of shock at the condition that that Lambo was delivered in. How in gods name do you let a car like that get into such a mess?

Richie, both you and Bob did an absolutely awesome job of transforming that beast into beauty. It's great to see what two of the best detailers anywhere, can do when the get together to do a car like this.

My hat's off to you both.:notworthy:

That's the same thing I said when I saw it. Maybe its their daily driver? :rofl:
You guys did a great job. I'm just learning about detailing, do you use a polisher (sorry i dont know what you call it) type sander for the paint? Also, for the rims what cleaner was used? Thanks.

Yes a rotary was used(Understatement...) and Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner was what Richie utilized on this detail.

I read, I cried, I smiled, I laughed, I empathized, then I cheered... Great work you guys, those shots of the engine cover... PURE WINNING!

Great thread and documentation, the whole car looks like it should as is fitting of the mystique, the marquee, and the name Lamborghini.
