Default Detailer's Domain: 40th Anv Lamborghini Murcielago #33 of 50 (no 56k)

The paint on this car overall was not too bad however the hood was pretty swirled up. It was hard to get pictures of the imperfections.

Wash:
Adam's Car wash with Shmitt Wash Mitt
Swissvax Paint Rubber was used to clay the car (clay lube was Adam's Detail Spray)

Wheels and Tires:
P21S Wheel Cleaner for the wheels
P21S Autowash for the tires and wheel wells
Adam's Detail Spray for a final wipe down
Tires dressed with Adam's VRT

Engine:
P21S Auto wash agitated with a Boar's Hair Brush, sprayed down, dressed with Adam's In and out, excess dressing wiped down

Interior:
Interior was cleaned up with Einszett ****pit and Einszett Leather Care
Vacuumed

Windows:
Adams' Glass Cleaner

Paint correction:
Menznera SIP with the Metabo with a green edge pad at 1500 rpm. Followed by Menzerna 106 with a Blue Pad at 1500 rpm.

Checking paint correction with Menzerna Top Inspection and the Brinkmann Xenon Light and 3M Sun Gun.

Final steps: Swissvax Cleaner Fluid followed by a nice coat of Swissvax Concorso for a deep glossy wet finish.

Paint imperfection was very very hard to detect order any of the lights: 3m Sun Gun, Brinkman, Halogen, and Sun Light but it was there. Here is the best shot of the imperfections but it was all over the hood:

Those HREs really complement the vehicle well. I remember walking into a Lamborghini dealership awhile back and seeing 19/40 and it was the exact color as yours if my memory serves me correctly.

One question, did you get to drive out beyond backing it out and putting it in the garage?

Can you please elaborate on the polish brand you used. I'm looking to switch away from Meguiar's in a few months.

Nice job by the way.
