Lamborghini Superleggera Paint Correction, Ceramic Pro, Paint Protection Film

The 2008 Lamborghini Superleggera is basically a Gallardo, on steroids. How? It's 126 pounds lighter. This is thanks to the many beautiful carbon fiber pieces throughout the $250,000.00 lambo. Mirrors, door panels, rear bonnet, rear spoiler (just to name a few) are finished in a beautiful clear coated carbon fiber that add a level of elegance and prestige that we were surprised made all the difference when comparing to the standard Gallardo.

Finished in a beautiful alcantara interior with matching orange stitching to the paint color, Lamborghini creates yet another masterpiece with their attention to detail.

With 523HP and 376ft/lbs of torque, the mid engine V10 will turn your head just by the sheer sound of it, let alone if you see it coming first.

This detail has quite the laundry list. This is what we performed:

Claybar of all surfaces to remove surface contaminants to ensure proper compounding & polishing, and also to promote proper adhesion of protection to be applied.

Stage 2 paint correction which in this case yielded around 85-90% perfection.

Stage 2 compounding and polishing of both driver and passenger carbon fiber door panels, followed by application of a synthetic sealant

Underside of carbon fiber bonnet compounded and polished

Taillights compounded and polished

Rear carbon fiber spoiler removed, compounded and polished underneath

Rear carbon fiber diffuser compounded and polished.

8 year old Paint Protection Film removed from nose

Paint compounded and polished underneath film

Installation of Suntek self-healing film on full nose, headlights and carbon fiber side mirrors

Ceramic Pro Sport applied to all painted and carbon fiber exterior surfaces

Interior wipe-down

Optima Steam-cleaned engine detail.

The results were impeccable. A brighter, more brilliant orange made for a delight once we pulled it into the sun for photos. Don't miss the video at the top of this write-up! For more information about Ceramic Pro, click here

Porsche 993 Exclusive by Arizona Premier Detail Company

Many of our clients own Porsche's, but it isn't very often we get to lay our hands on a 993. This beautiful Porsche 993 Carrera 911 was crying for some attention. Wearing the stunning Forest Green Metallic Paint and fitted with custom gold CCW wheels, this car isn't for everyone, but we thought it was too cool.

The car was sitting in a vacant lot owned by a man down in Mesa who had the car in his possession for many years our client shared. Once purchased, he and his brother wrenched on the car, modifying it to their hearts' content. One modification that we noticed instantly was the incredibly loud custom straight pipe exhaust system they had welded together!

Aside from the beauty of this vehicle from afar, our assessment of this Porsche concluded it was in need of some serious, serious attention.

Scratches, swirls, and everything in between caused by improper care for nearly two decades

After discussing options with our client, he decided he wanted our Deluxe Stage 2 Paint Correction Package coupled with Ceramic Pro Sport to give the finish up to 10 months of protection against UV rays and the harsh elements of the environment, oh yeah.....and gloss.

Due to Porsche's having softer clear-coat, this was advantageous in that the 2 stages of paint correction performed (compounding, then polishing) yielded a much greater perfection rate than it would on say a Mercedes (known for very hard clear-coat) in the same condition. We achieved around 85-90% perfection. The only scratches left were those that would require color-sanding to remove.
