Adam's & Innovative Detailing vs. a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador
Dylan@Adams & Dave@Innovative Detailing VS. Pure Italian Beauty!
This is a project Dave and I have been looking forward to for awhile, the owner is a regular customer of Innovative detailing, but hadn't had a full prep done on the car... yet. Yesterday was the day. As you can see from the before shots the issues are very minimal, this was a job to take good and make it great. The process was pretty straight forward, basic exterior cleanup and wash, followed by a paint correction. The PC 7424xp and Flex 3401 were used. Most correction was done with Adam's Fine Machine Polish and Gen4 White pads... a few areas were polished again using a Gray Gen4 Pad and Fine Machine. Paint was EXTREMELY soft and anything more aggressive seemed to mar slightly. The entire forward section of the car has been covered with PPF film so those areas, especially around the edges, were sealed with Adam's Quick Sealant. The entire car was machine glazed with the new Gen4 red pad and Adam's Brilliant Glaze the topped with Americana Paste wax by hand. Interior was spotless, a quick wipe down with a towel was all that was needed, glass was also clean and simply wiped with a dry towel. Enough talking... on to the pics. BEFORE: (from a distance everything looked great) Dave started in on the wheels and we then moved to a quick wash: Documenting some of the problem areas including bird dropping stains, very fine swirling, and some buffing/haze artifacts left behind either by dealer prep or the factory: The biggest eye sore was the rear deck... either a previous detailer had hazed the panel, perhaps at the dealer, or the factory prep was a little rushed. Either way the paint was definitely in need of attention: Before masking off the film and trim we used the blaster sidekick to eliminate as much of the trapped water as we could. With so many edges and tight areas this car held a ton of water Engine bay was spotless. A quick detail spray wipe down for dust was all that was needed All masked up and ready to start We split the car up and went tow work with the machines Checking my progress on some sections... flawless! Vertical doors make for some interesting polishing postions After we were satisfied with the correction we moved into glazing... gen4 red pad, flex 3401 at low speed, brilliant glaze. Icing on the cake Black mirror This detail approved by Innovative Detailing Interior got a quick towel wipe down. Aside from a small amount of dust the interior was flawless. As you can see the dash is a bit of reach... Touched up the glass over the engine with Adam's Glass Cleaner and a glass towel Tires, trim, and all the vents/diffusers, etc were treated with Adam's Super VRT and/or Adam's In & Out Spray Wrapping up... the wind had picked up and we wanted to make sure the car stayed perfect. We had the owner quickly pull the car out for full sun inspection and got it back into the garage to avoid any dust settling on the newly perfected finish Out into the sun Tucked back in the garage... job done! |

Nothing looks better than black when it's clean. I just washed/detail sprayed my black Camaro yesterday and it's already green from pollen today . . . .
