Lamborghini LP640 Detailed!!

My brother and I got the chance to detail a brand new Lamborghini LP640 Saturday morning. Process was as follows: Wash with Prima Mystique, noticed it needed to be clayed so we clayed it with Meguiars blue clay, washed it again and dryed. We noticed that someone took a rotary buffer to it because we saw alot of holograms. Tried to take some pictures of it but it really didn't come out in the picture, but it was pretty bad. So we taped the whole car off and started to polish it out. We first used Meguiars M80 with a LC grey pad, then Prima Amigo with a LC white pad, then followed with Prima Epic on a LC grey pad. Thanks to Heather from Detailers Paradise for answering my questions about applying Prima Amigo on the clear bra that was on this car. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Sorry I couldn't take better pictures, not really that good of a photographer.

Before pictures are 1-6. After pictures are after picture 6. In the first picture you can see a horizontal white line, that is the buffing hologram that I mentioned was on the car. Sorry I couldn't get a better shot of the holograms left by a rotary buffer.

OK, OK...so if someone physically forced me to drive another car, demanded that I hand in my MINI-Motorer membership card, held a gun to my head, and gave me an ultimatum....I might find it OK to drive that car

Wow, that's a beauty.

Lambos are so cool that you don't even need to put the top up when you wash them. There is a water-repelling forcefield that automatically deploys whenever water is sensed. Pretty sweet.
