2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster

2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster Restoration by Richie's Custom Detailing and Auto Concierge.

I flew Bob out to work with me on a few cars. The day before he was scheduled to leave I got the call to restore the appearance on this 2008 Murcielago LP 640 Roadster.

So I changed Bob's ticket and extended his stay.

Bob was very instrumental in getting this car done as it was going to be shipped out of state and the deadline was tight.

Total time spent 60+ hours collectively.

Upon initial inspection it was easy to see how severely this car had been savaged.

Front end and rockers were wrapped as well.

As it was delivered.











































All plastic grilles were dried out.





Engine compartment needed some attention.





Paint readings were healthy.







Top was installed prior to the wash and decon stage.



Wheel cleaner attacking the grime.





The paint was loaded up with LSP and needed to be stripped away.





Stripped.



Grilles being removed to be restored to a new state.



Inside after the wash.











More defects.





50/50 after compounding.













Taillights needed some work as well.





DA sand scratches.



Washing after the compounding stage.







Bob cleaning the honeycomb grilles. This took some time as they were splattered with old compound from the previous detailer.





Carbon fiber rockers were a little rough.





Corrected.

After.

This is seriously my all time favorite car. So gorgeous. That paint was thrashed, great turnaround!! It's being shipped to me right??

 

Sweet jebus that car is gorgeous looking. What a shame to see it so scratched up but thankfully it has been revitalized.

 

Well done gents! A classic east/west tag team.

I know first hand that black is a PITA to get right, if you blink your eyes too fast its going to scratch.

What was the process for restoring the honeycomb? PM me if you need.

Cheers,
GREG

 

Amazing work!

 

Cooler filled with water/Enviro clean for pre-soak, then brush work/rinse, dressed with 303 and blown with a leafblower to blowout excess.....then left to dry in the sun.

 

Great turn around, that ride is just gorgeous. Nothing beats a pristine black vehicle!

 

Fantastic job guys. Car looks fantastic.

 

Excellent work!

 

Car looks excellent guys!

 

You guys did an amazing job love the pics I bet the owner is going to be thrilled:thumb:

 

Great work, guys!

 

Proper

Cheers

 

Great job. The owner will be thrilled, but unfortunately, I have a feeling owner will beat to sh*t again.

Either way...you guys are a great team. Stellar work.

 

Very nice teamwork fella's! Luckily staying a little longer didn't interfere with Bob's plans back on the west coast.

Looks like I need to finally get some 303!

 

I can't believe someone would treat a car like that, especially a lambo, but you guys make it 100% again Good Job

 

looks good!

 

I see it everyday. I have a few hedge fund buddies who treat their $275,000 cars like beaters. its a blip on the their financial radar. its just money when you pull down ten's of millions a year.

Sad..but true.

 

very nice turn around. Love how nice it looked in the sun.

 

Thus guys like this keep us in biz, the only problem is the guy's who treat the car like this and do not have it maintained. I have one client who tracks his GT3RS once or twice a month and the car looks new(2008 model) because of frequent maintenance, it is perception of course as some clients with money feel it is not important to have the car look it's best.....until they are next to one my clients cars at a event or on the road(lol).
