    Hey guys,

    Although I have been coming to this site for a while for tips and to take a look at the always great show & shine section, I have just decided to make an account. A little about myself, I am 18 years old and live in Pittsburgh and work part time at a detail shop while going to school. I have loved cars my whole life and I am lucky enough to have a couple cool cars in the family! So bear with me as like I said, I'm a bit new and always looking for advice.

    So without any more, I got the chance to detail a 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, said to be only 1 of 7 left in this color combo, and the last white Diablo ever built with a build date of December of '99! The only is a 2014 Bentley GTC with only 1k on the clock. Neither car was I able to go 100% but both got a nice clean up.

    First up is the Diablo. It was last driven in the rain, and was decently dirty. The clay was very dirty, and definitely needs a 2/3 step correction, but thats for another day.

    Exterior
    -Zymol Car Wash with two bucket wash
    -Whole car was clayed with Uber clay, a lot of stuff on the paint
    -Wheels were hit with Sonax Plus and various brushes
    -Adams Buttery Wax
    -Adams Glass Cleaner

    Interior
    -Sprayed down with Blue Magic L&V Cleaner
    -Leather scrubbed with a leather brush and a Griotts and brush attachment
    -All the mats taken out and sprayed with 409
    -Vacuumed
    -Final Wipedown

    Quick Wipedown of the interior, then she was done.

    After. As I said before could have definitely used a correction, and more attention to the interior.

    Thats it for that one! Hope you enjoyed it.

    The Bentley got the same treatment as above, and again, was just a quick clean up. My father owns a body shop, and the white seats definitely show. But it cleaned up very well!

    First car was washed & clayed. Clay had a lot of contaminants, as this car has spent 75% on the highway

    Interior was wiped down with Blue Magic again, and seats were scrubbed with a brush and a Griotts. White seats were very dirty after only 1k miles.

    Yupp! Amazing for a 15 year old car! And probably in the next month I'll take a buffer to the car! So I'll write that up
