2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Convertible in for a paint correction and coating with CQuartz Finest. Car arrived with 800 miles on the odometer. This car is a great example of the level of finish possible on what many see as a "new" car coming from one of the largest Lamborghini dealers. The entire car was covered in a dulling haze and holograms were found throughout vehicle including under the mirrors and even indoor jams.

Main Issues:
Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms
Swirl marks and wash marring
Deeper rids on engine cover and hood
Lack of gloss and clarity

Entire hood was covered in Rotary holograms and haze

Holograms found on driver side intake vent. To be honest I'm not even quite sure how they managed to hologram some areas on this car. The spaces were so tight it would be almost impossible to fit a rotary.

Fender clarity coming out great. These areas had heavy concentrations of RIDS and swirls.

I always pull the car out into the sun during the compounding step. Sometimes even under the best fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting defects escape you. Not in the sun, the light of truth.

Rear bumpers had heavy concentrations of rotary holograms. These defects were actually removed (Properly) with a rotary then finished down on a DA.

Vehicle was then prepped for Finest with two wipedowns of Eraser. Then Finest was applied in two separate coatings.
