  1. Thank you everyone for the compliments and for taking the time to view. My intention is to not use it as an advertisement or marketing but just to share a nice transformation on an awesome car. I know there's many people like me out there who enjoy seeing such a process. SO thank you for letting me share it with you. PPF AKA Clear Bra is awesome protection and something I do as well. I'm a certified Xpel Ultimate installer and can tell you that it does keep the car looking very nice. We always polish and paint correct before installing the clear bra so that way all the damage is removed and the film will cover and protect the flawless paint underneath, not many shops in San Diego or elsewhere do both unfortunately. With Clear Bra the upkeep and maintenance is actually much easier and straightforward as the material itself is very durable and forgiving. From a protection standpoint clear bra is the best you can get, but the drawback is that it just won't ever look quite as good as polished and coated paint which is why our clients choose to do front end clear bra protection and Nano on the rest of the car. We also coat the clear bra as well to improve the looks and makes it ALOT easier to clean and upkeep.
  2. Recently completed this project and thought it would be cool to share with my fellow LamboPower'ers. Hope you enjoy seeing the process start to finish! 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder in for a Level 3 "Enhancement" plus paint correction and Nano Coating. Car arrived with 800 miles on the odometer. This car is a great example of the level of finish possible on what many see as a "new" car coming from one of the largest Lamborghini dealers. The entire car was covered in a dulling haze and holograms were found throughout vehicle including under the mirrors and even indoor jams. We specialize in enhancing the finish of any car as well as protecting it for many years to come with both advanced clear bra installs and nano coatings. Our client wanted the highest level of refinement and protection possible so he could drive without any worries of damage. Main Issues: Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms Factory/Dealer installed buffer trails & holograms Swirl marks and wash marring Deeper rids on engine cover and hood Lack of gloss and clarity Entire hood was covered in Rotary holograms and haze Holograms found on driver side intake vent. To be honest I'm not even quite sure how they managed to hologram some areas on this car. The spaces were so tight it would be almost impossible to fit a rotary. Rotary haze covered entire vehicle Engine cover Door Jams Wash process was carried out to remove dealer applied glaze. Vehicle was decontaminated with an iron removing paint cleanser, clay bar and then was prepped for polishing work. Haze removed The hoods condition was clearly visible even under ambient fluorescent lighting. Hood before and after Driver side door Fender clarity coming out great. These areas had heavy concentrations of scratches and swirls. Passenger side door, clarity revealed. I always pull the car out into the sun during the compounding step. Sometimes even under the best fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting defects escape you. Not in the sun, the light of truth. Rear bumpers had heavy concentrations of rotary holograms. These defects were actually removed through various stages of machine polishing. Final polishing completed, the true beauty and shine of the vehicle is now showing through. Stunning reflection from the passenger side rear fender.* Vehicle was then prepped for the nano coating with a paint cleaner to remove any polishing oils. Then the NANO Coating was applied in two separate layers. Now for the pictures you have been waiting for. In the sun, there is no compromising.* Thanks for viewing, please let me know if you have any questions about the process or about your vehicle. Would be happy to answer them!
