Re: Lightroom Shots from my Detailing Studio!

Macdude: It's a shame that some have decided to ruin your thread with such negativity...

Please know that I (as well as countless others) enjoy your thread of automotive car delights... But I am sure you already knew that.

To be honest, I am surprised that it has taken this long for such ill to rear it's ugly head. We all know that when you are at the top of your respective game there will always be someone that for some ill reason wishes to knock you a step or two down.

I hope the mods step in and clean up all this nonsense

Re: Lightroom Shots from my Detailing Studio!

WOW! This thread has gone from one extreme to the other!! FWIW I'd like to say a couple things. My buddy (who got me onto this forum) and I have always talked about how much more amazing your work seems to look when using "eye candy" (high end cars) and whether you like it or not, that's just true, period! That being said, why not use a nice ride to show off your work, nothing wrong with that, I mean, if I owned a jean company I'm using Shakira or Inez Sainz to sell my product for sure "butt" i would expect alot of women to buy them. I know black 99' Riveria would look a bit out of place there but it would be cool to see an "average" car there though but then again, with that type of money invested into that whole deal, you've gotta re-coup your costs and the guy with the 99' Riv just isn't going to pay the money to have his car detailed there.

I liked the pics alot, looks like something out of the DuPont registry because the quality is 1st rate but this forum is all about process and product info and speaking of that, there's NO mention of what was used on the cars, how long the entire thing took and most importantly, what did it cost to detail them? Also, what did they look like before, that's what I love about the guys here on AG, they show the "before and after" and in some cases, it appears a small miracle (sorry to bring up religion here) has been performed and no photoshop can do that, atleast I don't think so. Speaking of process, how does it take that long to clean a wheel, inquiring minds would like to know!

Re: Lightroom Shots from my Detailing Studio!

Lamborghini's magnificent LP700-4, named "Aventador" after a prized Spanish fighting bull is a literal sight-to-behold with it's massive proportions and cutting-edge design. As with all Lamborghini models before it, the Aventador carries it's presence with a distinctive flair and panache that is almost always quite the opposite of the design language of the other Italian thoroughbred, the Ferrari. We take you on a brief behind-the-scenes journey as we execute our craft on the first Aventador in the country.



This being the first Aventador in the country and like most early appearances meant that we had to perform an extremely thorough inspection from the inside out and to blueprint crucial information like the paintwork thickness for a base reference of paint quality with future Aventadors and also to chart the gloss-level readings utilizing an instrument which measures both specular and diffuse reflections.



It took the team a total of 7-days to flatten the course orange-peel texture of the original paintwork to a flawless mirror-finish. Imperfections were corrected and the paint burnished to an extraordinary-level of shine. As the Aventador is designed with many hard edges, special care was taken to mask the corners and edges to reduce premature wear on them. Our signature 12-step compounding and polishing system transformed the stock paintwork to a display-worthy finish.



The Aventador is indeed quite a sight to behold as it's massive dimensions and edgy design cues command attention.



The wheels with the carbon ceramic brakes underwent pressurized high-temperature steam cleaning for a spotless finish.



Each vent diligently cleaned...



Emblems as usual received extra attention for that immaculate touch.



The powerful 6.5L V12 engine which packs approximately 700 bhp is made pristine.



The cabin upholstery gets treated with our proprietary 5-stage leather feed system which moisturizes the fine leather trim and seats with advanced UV-inhibitors to prevent degradation. The leather finish as usual, produces deep, matte colours and an unmatched suppleness.



The exterior and interior coachwork was then worked on to ensure a perfect delivery with the paintwork receiving a track-tested hydrophobic coating system designed to endure extremely high-temperatures for extended periods of time.



Our latest headlamp protection system was then fitted which protects the polycarbonate lenses with a 6-mil thick flexible film that absorbs stone-chip impact preserving the headlamps for several years.



Here are some photos in the light-room where it was checked meticulously prior to delivery.



Aircraft fighter-inspired weapons console...



A remarkably engaging LCD instrumentation cluster!



Lamborghini's signature scissor-doors...



Another supercar perfected for delivery...



Cheers!
