Default Detail/Paint Correction For Local LFA Owner

When I first got started detailing cars I made a list of all the vehicles I wanted to work on. From a 1969 Shelby gt500 to a Bugatti Veyron Supersport. From a Maseratic MC12 to a Lamborghini Diablo I have had the opportunity to work on numerous rare and expensive automobiles. But yet, one car has eluded my grasps... That car just so happens to be my "Eleanor". Yes you guessed it the Lexus LFA.

So, this maybe a long shot but i figured its worth a try. If anyone is willing to refer me to an owner, or if there is an owner on this forum In the SD/OC/LA area I would like to extend a unique offer to you. I will perform my highest level concours service typically priced at ($3,000) for no charge in return for allowing me the privilege to work on your vehicle and take some pictures/video to document the process. I specialize in high end paint polishing and corrective work to really bring out the highest potential possible.

Here is an example of the type of work I do on a brand new 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

All the best,

Tim

Yea the bill gets up there very quickly for the type of level of detailing that is performed. Its better than museum quality when its done. Every surface is polished, rejuvenated, sealed and protected. Although these type of jobs are pretty rare I have had several around the $3k range after everything is said and done, some jobs have lasted 4 days.

Im actually working on a Black ISF right now in for a full 3 day correction and coating with CQuartz Finest. Total bill will be around the $2k range when its all said and done.

Wow very impressed Tim... I remember when you were just getting started... Congrats on your hard work... IS-F looks great... Your other post inspired me to clean up the GS a little....I'm definitely a beginner but used

Mcquires Clay Bar
PC7424
CG MicroFiber polishing/Compound pad
CG G36
Blackfire Diamond Sealant all around with 2 coats on hood

Sorry no pics but came out better than i thought.. some light scratches in certain areas but probably needed M105 with Orange Pad... All i have in the orange in pad is 6'' but is to big IMO...
