    A new client contacted me about getting his Gallardo fully detailed. It has never really been detailed before so he was looking for the very best I had to offer. So I suggested a concours level detail which consisted of full paint correction near 99.9% perfect, full interior detail, wheel correction/detail, engine bay and under-carriage cleaning.

    Paint wasn't in to bad of shape. Had rids all over as well as some deep scrathes that needed wet sanding. It was very had to capture the defect with the color and my camera.. i tried my best lol

    Total hours spent around 50.

    Thank you! Do it!! lol I love detailing, but sometimes can be mentally draining haha. especially reaching the 50hr mark.

    Go to the junk yard pick up a hood or a door to practice correcting on. thats usually the best way... you mess up, dont matter

    Excellent work. I love that color. After about the twelve hour mark I could easily seeing that job transitioning from, "Cool, workin' on a Lambo" to "What a g-d bunch of fussy little cavities and hard to work on details."

    yeah there was a decent amount of hand polishing which is a real PITA on lambos hard paint.
