2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge

[Richie Carbone]

2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster Restoration by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge.

I flew Bob out to work with me on a few cars. The day before he was scheduled to leave I got the call to restore the appearance on this 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster.

So I changed Bob's ticket and extended his stay.

Bob was very instrumental in getting this car done as it was going to be shipped out of state and the deadline was tight.

Total time spent 60+ hours collectively.

Upon initial inspection it was easy to see how severely this car had been savaged.

Front end and rockers were wrapped as well.

As it was delivered.

[jamores23]

great turn around!! what did you use on the carbon fiber part to restore it? and what was in that cooler water and car soap?? what products where used for the job :)

[rwright]

Caught this over at DD, excellent job as usual Richie. You and Bob really knocked this one out of the park! :props:

[DLB]

That car turned out nothing short of outstanding. Great job you guys. The 60+ hours shows up in the final product. Everything has a very fresh look to it. Very nice. Car looks better than new.

[Rayaz]

That car was scratched in places I didn't even know could be scratched! It looks way better that it did when it was new. Very nice work boys.

[Flash Gordon]

Unbeliveable work you guys pulled off on this one :wow:

[chetsteadman]

Just how in the world does a person let a vehicle like this get so trashed? Great work on the turnaround.

Great work. I know one of the hardest parts of that job was putting on the top. :laughing:

Question, you said that the front and rockers were wrapped. What products did you use there?

Again, great job!:applause:
