Hello This work was the most complete i ever did to the time being, it was prepared for a show called "Auto Clássico 2008". For the interior i had the help of Tony from Autoestética and for the window films the top installer in Portugal, Abilio from blackcatpeliculas. This was the shape the car arrived, its a daily driver with 45000 miles from 2004... All the front part of the gallardo was filled with dead corps of "highway filth" rock chips, and some bird bombs. The lower parts was coverd with tar and inner arches full of...everything Rimms with some major dents and had to be fixed for the show, all 4. The engine covered with dirt and dust After a good wash and clayed, the car was prepared for the polishing stage The bonett was polished and looked nice... But the central area was very bad, even with the mirk system, sanding hard was not the solution. Went to be repainted. One of the out rearview mirrors needed a repaint also and the other one was removed for a perfect polishing finish of the door. All the grills were removed and the exaust pipes too be polished. Its a very hard paint and for the cutting was used 3M FCP, polishing with 3.02/203 and finished with 3M Ultrafina. Before After: Headlights polished, before After Almost all the side of the car was sanded with Mirka and 3M 3000, for removing all the little scratches from the...washes The after During the sanding of upper panel Few minutes later One 50/50 image Doors were no exception and sanding was needed too fully correct them. Before the after Front panel more of the same after Inner arches washed and detailed The bolts of the rimms were painted Before After During the final touches for the exterior (interior and windows films were completed) Finished after almost 5 days and many hours of work.

He´s getting the shape of the window from outside then put in inside and cut it when necessary. Trust me, the windows gets perfect
I wonder how they got that car on that ramp truck. It could not have been easy. Real nice car. Very good write up. Thanks for sharing that was cool...:worship2:
I love your work Racer! I think those lights beaming down on the Lambo at the car show made all the polishing work worth while. You really went above and beyond, superb job :applause::applause::applause:
The ramp of the shop was in the same level the truck, was SUPER EASY Thanks The car was presenting 3 separate services in the show, exterior, interior and tinted windows...thats why he got all windows "black"..
Wow :druling: First of all that would be wicked to be able to have a vehicle like this as a daily driver :worship2: :worship2: Second, allot of work went into this vehicle :applause: well done the vehicle looks great :applause: Always enjoy your details Racer :cheerl:
i figured it was laid out on the outside for shape but then i saw him using a heat gun on the outside and it confused me.
Thanks all for your kind comments. This car took a lot of patient to do it, in fact some ppl ask me if i was crazy :shead:
Professional window tinters cut the desired size of the film, shape with a heat gun on the outside, and then install as normal on the inside and trim any unwanted excess as the squeegee is used to remove air bubbles
Here in Portugal almost all cars looks like this after 1 or 2 years, because of the manual and car washes...we dont have any car care culture, its starting to grow. well in a detailing way of course
