    After carried out a detail on a Porsche 911 Speedster the owner asked me to do his Lamborghini Gallardo Spider in a very rare colour, there is only two in the world in this colour, the owner of the other one is Rod Stewart. The owner wasnt the swirls and scratches removed and had already washed the car in preperation for me.

    How the car was on my arrival:

    As the car was washed i moved onto claying the car with Swissvax Paint Rubber, the wiped down with Swissvax Quick Finish., taped up the car and took some paint readings and then some pics of the swirls:

    Initially attempted correction with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro on a polishing pad but no impact, then used 3M FCP on a cutting pad. It really was the hardest clear coat I have ever worked on (more than BMW!)

    Some 50/50 shots i could get:

    Once correction complete, wiped down with Swissvax Quick Finish then applied Swissvax Cleaner Fluid, buffed off then Applied 2 coats of Swissvax Crystal Rock

    Swissvax Mirage was applied to the door shuts:

    Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was applied to the alloys and then Swissvax Autobahn. the windows were cleaner with Swissvax Crystal on the windows.

    Exhaust was treated with Swissvax Metal Polish and ultrafine steel wool:

    Onto the interior, the car was hoovered out, the interior being 99% leather was treated with Swissvax Leather cleaner on a magic sponge:

    The hood was treated to 303 Fabric Guard

    Nice car.. did you do a middle step after FCP+ or straight to CFP?

    Straight to CFP, because of the abbrasiveness of CFP there is no need for it, but the beauty of CFP it alloys to refine at the same time. Its a must have product.
