Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

We’ve been holding onto these photos for a while in the hope that we may get to take some whole-car shots outside, but the weather has not been particularly favourable lately. We will keep in touch with the owner and get back to you with those shots…

This car was a recent purchase (2nd hand) and in desperate need of some loving. There were very heavy swirls and scratches all around the rear of the car, which have most likely been induced by people leaning directly on the car whilst working in the engine bay.

It’s great to see this beast looking crisp again and I know that the owner is pacing around like a caged animal waiting for some better weather!

 

Before - Side air vent cowls. This is one of the heavy traffic areas and the location of the heaviest marks.

Before - The bonnet shows the condition of the bulk of the car. There's some reasonably heavy swirls in amongst that, which on such a dark coloured car will stand out unless properly corrected.

During - Here's the rinse water from FI Leather Clean Gel after only cleaning half of one side of the cockpit! There is a lot of leather inside these & we hope to get the interior shots along with the finished full car shots...

Before - Tyres gunked up with old tyre black. Seems to be from one of the silicon based sprays - they are very effective at attracting grime and brake dust, then turning it into a "grease" like paste that coats the wheels. Yuck!

After - Tyres au naturel. Cleaned with Jaffa, now they look like rubber again.

Putting the Velvet Revolver to the test. Looks like somebody thought about the design of this little guy. Fits beautifully under the louvres for maximum reach

The badge has seen better days, too. Looks like somebody hit that pretty hard in the past.

The rear end is looking a million times better now. The polycarbonate taillights really jump out at you now.

All the way to the edge... There is so much more 'pop' to the metallic flake now.

FMJ paint protection - what else? Coated on these satin wheels, it doesn't change the appearance at all, no extra gloss.
