Default By Buffer or Hand?



See if you can tell if these cars were done by hand of machine. First car is a BMW 535i and the other is a Lamborghini Gallardo. I detailed both these car this week. Answer below.




The BMW was paint cleaned and sealant with a DAPC, NOTE, their were no serious defects in the finish

The lambo was all done by hand. Both looked like a mirror, I wish I could take pics like a pro, look much better in person.

Both look great but I think the Lambo took a better picture. Very slick. Do these expensive cars suffer the same stone chips that our Cruisers get?

If I had the money to buy a Lambo I wouldn't worry about stone chips, I just get it repainted every other week!

Many of the high end exotic cars I detail get after market 3-m bra's. They are clear and go on places like the hood nose, under front and rear fenders close to the tires, even on the outside of the rear view mirrors, I was considering doing this service as well. Much better pay then detailing, that is a fact. Gary
