Lamborghini V Unique Detailing

I live in South Boston, I cannot ever remember a water ban, it is just those smaller towns outside of the city.



Just use those big white 10 gallon buckets or whatever they are, 4 of those are MORE than enough to soap and rinse a tiny Acura.
 
Here's a clip from my county's website:

<strong class='bbc'>Outdoor Watering Restrictions for Gwinnett County

Hours of Restriction: Beginning June 13, 2000 - Total restriction from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with watering permitted from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. on an odd/even basis (odd numbered addresses on odd numbered days, etc.) (7 days per week)


Because the Atlanta Region has been experiencing drier than normal conditions, Gwinnett County is implementing mandatory outdoor watering restrictions and is encouraging residents to actively reduce their outdoor water use and become better acquainted with water conservation techniques. [/b]
 
WHAT?!?!?! Water restriction in NYC and NJ. Guess that Corolla and Z has to hold off for a while.



I jusy cleaned the interior of my parents 91 corolla, never been vacummed before but it was not clean nor very dirty. I pulled all the mats out, vacummed the inside, scrubbed the mats with Omni all purpose cleaner. Used the wet/dry vac on the mats, wow pulled up all this damp sludge from the mats. Then used some Vinylex in the inteior to restore the moisture and healthy look to the dash and vinyl areas.



Put everything back in place and my parents were impressed. It smelled clean and fresh.



The exterior may be a little dirty but the interior is spot less!



Have anyone ever tried washing their car during the wee hours of the morning, lets say between 3 and 4AM. I don't think anyone will find out.........



RAIN, GIVE ME SOME RAIN!

...that lived in a community where washing your car with any type of chemicals was not allowed (Home Owners Association sucks). His solution - he purchased one of those small sheds that was big enough for his car and to move around next to it (paid like $800 for it). He then ran a hose underground (took about three hoses) to the shed and would wash his car in the little shed. Nobody would see him doing it and the water ran out the back onto his lawn. Worked great until he got divorced and his ex wife turned him in....doh.
 
What The Heck!!! Is the whole eastern seaboard in a dought

emergency?



There is something strange going on here!



Could it be :



1- Doctor Evil



2- Aliens



3- Detailing Hobbyist haters club



4- El Duque, I mean El Nino



5- Terrorism



6- The Govament
 
At my local watering place they sell office water cooler size jugs of water for about $3.75



if you can't outdoor wash, can you indoor wash instead?
 
I can't take it anymore. I am washing today. Wish me luck! I think I'll hide the car behind the Exploder so no one can see me washing it...
 
This was the next car on the list, I had a quick inspection while i was doing the Ferrari, and on first thought i saw the swirled up roof and the rest looked pretty good. Again Lambo's are hand painted and polished so lets see what we're dealing with.......

Fantastic work, on to the next one in that amazing garage!

-Kody-

I love that car!

Nicely done, your work looks great.
Thanks man, Im trying to step up my game and these cars couldnt of come at a better time

Great thread, thank you for sharing. Your photos are out of this world!
Appreciate the comments coming from you Todd, This Lambo is actually being traded for the new Aventador which is already ordered :drool5: , i just bought a Nikon P500 and loving the camera
 
Great job on the car. I do have a question, after you clayed the car it looked like you dried it and began polishing. Is that the process with the "born slippy" because I usually rinse/wash the car after clay and before polishing. Am I wasting my time? or is the born slippy a specal lube. I usually use a wash/water mix or ONR as lube.

Thanks for the post. In reference to thge above question, I also realize this Lambo was in much better condition than my car when I do clay it!

Just checking my process.
