Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 - Paint Correction / Xpel Ultimate / Modesta Glass Coat

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 - Paint Correction / Xpel Ultimate / Modesta Glass Coating - BC-05

Long time customer brings us one of his bucket list cars. We were honored to get the call from our customer enlisting us to take care of his new to him Gallardo. Our customer had specifics that we needed to attend to on his new pride and joy.

First on his list was a full paint correction and proper preparation for Modesta Glass Coating, a coating he felt was right for the job. I completely agreed and we decided on Modesta BC-05 for that hard candy like look. Next was to make sure we could clean up the the already installed clear film. Replace the mirrors and add full rockers panels in Xpel Ultimate. After his wheels were repaired and free of curb rash from the previous owner we were able to coat the wheels as well as take care of the brakes, wheel wells, and suspension bits and pieces.

Take a look at the clean up.

Here is a list of products used on the interior.

I don't understand how you could let a car like that get that bad. Amazing work though. The car needed it.
