Swissvax'ed: ADV.1's White Lamborghini Gallardo
This car had never gotten any sort of "Detailing" other than just normal washes once a week by some car wash guy. The car was full of swirl marks and had some severe oxidation and exhaust residue in some parts.
We decided to tackle this job with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional polish to remove the swirls and oxidation and bring the paint back to life! We then topped the paint off with Swissvax Glacier wax for White paint. Here's the products we used: Products: -P21s TAW -1Z Blitz -1Z W99 -1Z Windscreen -Sonax Full Effect -#0000 Steel Wool Swissvax: -Car Bath -Protecton -Seal Feed -Paint Rubber (Yellow) -Quick Finish -Cleaner Fluid Professional via FESTOOL with a white Swissvax FINE pad -Glacier wax for white paint -Nano Express -Cleaner Fluid Regular -Autobahn PTFE Wax (Wheels) -Pneu Glossy -Waschpudel -Black Puck Applicator -Black wax applicator -Micro-Absorb (Red) -Micro-Polish (Blue) -Micro-Fluffy -Pneu Brush -Detail Brush -Wheel Brush -Metal Polish Here's how she looked when we got there... sad and dirty... Looks like a Matt finish! Check out the grime buildup in-between the rear emblem Car had been keyed :/ Faded plastic piece To begin the cleansing process, i start by cleaning all the plastic mesh pieces and the body creases with P21s TAW and a Swissvax Detail Brush Here's how it looked after agitating P21s TAW While i cleaned the engine bay, Beni worked on the wheels Onto claying the exterior surfaces Beni working on the interior After a single wipe of leather cleaner on the center console Second wipe A 50/50 after applying Swissvax Protecton Here's a 50/50 of the center console. The bottom (Passenger) side had been cleaned... after 4 cleanings... and the upper (Driver) side had not yet been touched. Polishing In this picture the fender on the left side had been polished and the driver door to the right had not yet been touched. Check out the difference in gloss and color! Polishing the hard-to-reach areas Beni working on the wheels Removing Swissvax Glacier And the result... sorry for the not-so-great pics... it was about 2am... And the professional photoshoot following the detail job http://www.luxury4play.com/lamborghi...do-wheels.html That's all for that one! Thanks for looking! Dom |

I guess it's pretty safe to say that there's a little profit margin worked into the price of the wheels
Great job on the car. Please post the torture video when you find out who did the keying.

Thanks guys!
I filled in the scratch with some custom mixed touch up paint a few days after i did the detail job. I first cleaned the area with 3M adhesive remover to remove the Swissvax, then applied the paint over the course of a few hours allowing some time for each layer to dry, using a small art paint brush. A few day later i went back and sanded the area using the PC and 3M sanding discs, and then properly polished out the area. Sorry but i didn't take pics |

Amazing work.
Was the steel wool for the exhaust tips? Have an Acura RDX with heavily corroded tips I need to attack and simple metal polish is not doing the trick. TIA! |
