Lamborghini Gallardo

Had this Lamborghini Gallardo in for a correction detail, remove the door tints and also remove spray the rear exhaust surround as they had badly tarnished. The car is a 05 and has only covered 17k but 'looked' in a very used way.

Car on arrival

First job was remove the plates and soak sticky pads in tardis.

The car's wheel were then cleaned, not too thorough as they were being refurbed after the detail anyway, then a pre-wash with AG powermax3 followed by a soak in foam. The washed with hyper wash, de-tarred with tardis and the re-washed ready for claying.

After is was the dried time to inspect the paintwork

Paintwork condition

50/50's

After all the compounding I fancied a break and got on with removing the window tints, the owner had started and gave up. Out with my tools for the job. Acetone and tradic and the good old hair dryer...

Heat up gently and pick 1 corner and start pulling with the heat to remove the tint, then 1 mf with acetone and 1 with tardis remove all the glue. In the mood for little jobs, I then got on with removing the rear exhausts surrounds.

Sprayed with satin black and then rebuilt and put back on the car.

I then carried on with doing the finishing polishing using menz rd85 and a megs finishing pad, this was then followed by a IPA wipedown and then 3x layers of blackfire paint sealant over 2 days.

The engine bay was then dressed with AG plastic conditioner, and metal polished using britemax, glass then polished and tyres/arches dressed.

Finally the interior, thorough gliptone clean/feed and 303 to the plastics.

Quick dust down and ready for some finished pics.
