<HTML>Sweet!!! Looks like a great job, Jim!!! Even if the sun wasn't shining, it still is a beautiful job. No disguising quality, eh?
Tell me, how comfortable are those seats? Would you wanna go on a nice long trip in this car? And can you even see out of the back window?
Oh, and give us the technical, "how ya' did it, what'd ya' use" info, too!!</HTML>

<HTML>First of all Jim, how did you do that, iti s possible to send instructions for a dummy on posting pics? ok, this car if you heard the story, was sold to a guy and delivered to his house. Owner was pissed because for 200 grand he expected the car to dazzle him (which in all right, is correct) When the car was delivered to me, it had smudge marks, finger prints, light dirt in tight spots, inside needed some TLC. I was told NOT to wash it. The good thing was no defects in the paint. I worked on the exterior, I have a young man working with me now, I put him inside. I had lights all around this car. I started out simply using two spray bottles, one with distilled water, one with QD. using several MF towels I went to work, using the water bottle on fine dirt, and QD for the light dust. when I finished I use Klasse AIO, and it brought out the shine big time. I tried a little of Meg hand polish to see if I got any more depth, and it appeared I did. final step was trade secret (I figured I'd use a wax because the car won't be driven that much, and I wanted the highest shine possible. )This product is highly recommended by Anthony, and it really made a difference. My man really did a nice job inside as well. The car is really low to the ground, it is hard to see out the windows. I'm 6' 4" , getting in and out of this car is like watching the grace of a hippo doing the waltz. it was ugly. They had a rear camera installed on top of rear deck which displays behind you on a screen when you are backing up, that was cool. The engine which is in the rear is so long , you can't see behind you at all. Since I only drove it in and out of the stall, I can't say how it handles. but it feels like it is a stiff ride, and wants to control you. clutch is butt close next to brake, (too close for me) It sounds like to jet when its running. I like the how the doors open, of course I have to roll out of the car. For the money, I'll take 15 GT Turbo Cruisers Thank you, p.s. this dealer is getting the long awaited Ferarri Enzo in next week, cost of 1.6 Mil. They are having an open house just to see it, this is one of 9 cars coming to the US, and he got one of them. If he askes me to detail that car, I think I will be booked up, don't want to touch that car. Thanks for posting pics JIm, Gary</HTML>

<HTML>Gary,
Very nice work!
Lambo's are great cars to gawk at and I have driven several of them on the open road and they are fast, very fast and if you want to make an impression well it is made for just that. Yet I would rather personally take a Porsche over a Lambo.
Also the Lambo doors hold tons of water so when I wash them I have to leave the doors open for a long time in order for all the water to drain out.
Glad to see you like the Trade Secret also! Take care,
Anthony</HTML>

<HTML>It is apparently 'a' if not 'THE' best cowabunga wax, (which may or may not have something to do with ninja turtle wax).
<a href="[www.topoftheline.com]; target="_blank">"Trade Secret" Carnauba Wax</a>
We don't go for Carnuauba Wax much over here, although many waxes have some of this stuff in it. I have been thinking of getting some 'Trade Secret' but I try to buy direct from the manufacturer and as yet haven't had time to track them down.</HTML>

<HTML>Wow!!! That looks like an excellent wax. I like the S-100 Harley wax, but if that trade secret looks as good "live & in person" as it does in the pix, it's really an outstanding product. I'll definitely give it a try as the Benz/Beemer/Audi crowd I'll be servicing in my shop will want to be wowed and it looks like this stuff could easily fit the bill!!!
Couple questions, Jim....what is the QD that you used to clean the dust and how did you apply the AIO...buffer (what speed & what pad), orbital, by hand?
Thanks,
Rod</HTML>

<HTML>I did a Lamborghini in the past and must say that they have the most uncomfortable seats ever. The car is designed for people 5'7 and shorter. Us Italians make nice cars but they're just for show n' go. No comfort. I also kneed myself in the chin quite a few times trying to get out.
And yes, the doors hold a tremendous amount of water.
Question, why didn't the guy want it washed? I have a customer who calls me for a "wipe down" weekly. I just use a lot of Body Shine by Auto Magic and a microfiber towel.</HTML>
Take care,
