    Another Lamborghini Gallardo completed recently at the shop, Dave @ Street Dreams helped with the start of the detail but had to catch a flight back home(New Jersey) the next morning.

    CLAY: P&S fine grey clay
    WHEELS: Gloss-it wheel gel/P&S brake buster
    WHEELS OFF CLEANING: Tarminator/ CG jet seal 109
    TIRES: P&S Natural finish dressing
    TRIM: Gloss-it TRV
    INTERIOR: P&S express cleaner
    LEATHER: Gloss-it satin leather polish

    CORRECTION

    Compounding with Menzerna 106 FA /Gloss-it white fast cut pads

    Polishing Menzerna PO85 RD Sm Arnold 80ppi finish pad

    Glazing with CG acrylic glaze(super grape)

    Car needed refining not major grindage, a few light RIDS but nothing major. Time was spent going over the little things such as dressing the honeycomb grills which were dry and ashy and the interior.

    Bob first testing the lifts balance at all 4 corners

    Then it was time to go higher:headbang:

    Bob used his new protective sockets to remove the Gallardo's wheels, no scratching near the lugs!

    [​IMG]

    Bob loosened the lugs while the car was planted, then raised it and took the wheels off the completely

    The wheels on this car are off a Superleggera and super, light

    [​IMG]

    Bob got to work on the undercarrige and I went to work on the wheels.

    All tar spots inside were removed, the inners were clayed and then a coat of CG acrylic glaze was applied to the inner barrels and face of the wheels.

    After buffing that off, 3 coats of jetseal were applied by hand and left to cure for 30minutes each

    Suspension components cleaned up, followed by some light rust removal on the wheel hub
