    2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Convertible in for a paint correction and coating with CQuartz Finest. Car arrived with 800 miles on the odometer. This car is a great example of the level of finish possible on what many see as a "new" car coming from one of the largest Lamborghini dealers. The entire car was covered in a dulling haze and holograms were found throughout vehicle including under the mirrors and even indoor jams.

    Main Issues:
    Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms
    Swirl marks and wash marring
    Deeper rids on engine cover and hood
    Lack of gloss and clarity

    Entire hood was covered in Rotary holograms and haze.

    Holograms found on driver side intake vent. To be honest I'm not even quite sure how they managed to hologram some areas on this car. The spaces were so tight it would be almost impossible to fit a rotary.

    Wash process was carried out to remove dealer applied glaze.

    Vehicle was decontaminated with Iron-X, clay bar and then was prepped for polishing work.

    Haze removed

    The hoods condition was clearly visible even under ambient fluorescent lighting.

    Fender clarity coming out great. These areas had heavy concentrations of RIDS and swirls.

    Passenger side door, clarity revealed.

    I always pull the car out into the sun during the compounding step. Sometimes even under the best fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting defects escape you. Not in the sun, the light of truth.

    Rear bumpers had heavy concentrations of rotary holograms. These defects were actually removed(Properly) with a rotary then finished down on a DA.

    Final polishing completed, the true gloss and shine is now apparent.

    Vehicle was then prepped for Finest with two wipedowns of Eraser. Then Finest was applied in two separate coatings.

    Now for the pictures you have been waiting for. In the sun, there is no compromising.

    Another Lambo from Cali that is hologramed inside and out! Are they from the same CA Lamborghini dealer that the Lambo that Lucci Elite/Auto Concierge/Car Connoisseur recently posted with 115 hrs of work? Someone needs to loose their job at that dealership.

    Not sure but I wouldn't be surprised. I have another client with an LP550-2 that has the same problem with an area that was actually repainted poorly. Very mediocre work by any standard.
