I've been a bit absent from the forums due to an incredibly busy schedule and moving to a much larger facility has taken time away from being active with you all on here! This will change though as I'm just about situated and ready to share the dozens upon dozens of exotics and other rare vehicles I have revived in recent months.
Starting of course, with this fantastic metallic blue Lamborghini Aventador! I was contacted to correct this Bull to remove some heavy defects from water blade use as well as your typical swirling and marring throughout. Over the course of approximately forty hours I labored to attend to all the defects, leaving it with a 98% corrected surface.
The process to correct Lamborghini paint is much more involved than most makes, and the various machines and pad/polish combos used is enough to warrant leaving proper correction on these vehicles to very experienced professionals. The pictures will now illustrate exactly what this batmobile needed!
I snapped various before photos as well as before/after shots! Starting with some before shots of the roof
