When the Lamborghini Huracan was first made available to customers as the replacement for the Gallardo, many of us detailers were anxious to get the opportunity to work on the latest and greatest nimble bull from Lamborghini’s stable.

In the world of muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO has always held it’s ground as one of the best ever. And of course, many will argue about which model or year is the most significant. Last summer, we had a gentleman visit our detail studio about doing some paint correction work to his 1969 GTO. The vehicle had been restored at Artisans Rods & Classics here in Fort Wayne and
When SweetCars purchased a 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago in Palm Beach a few months ago, it arrived at SweetCars in great shape mechanically. But aesthetically, it had a lot of work to make it a truly SweetCar by our standards. With so many vehicles gracing our detail studio throughout the year, our very own cars are also detailed to exceed the requirements of most exotic car dealerships in the country. With
Introduced at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the Maserati GranTurismo S was much improved from it’s previous 4.2 liter engine to a 4.7 liter V8, with 434 horses coming from the engine that was created in conjunction with Ferrari. The Maserati brothers would certainly be amazed at how beautiful their vehicles have evolved since the company’s creation in 1914. Cars have the magical ability to give us a sense of
Developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the SLR was created at a time when Mercedes owned a good portion of McLaren Group. The SLR or “Sport Leicht Rennsport” was built in England at the plant in Surrey and would behold a 5.4 Liter Supercharged V8 engine.

When Ferrari released the 599 GTO, only 599 owners would have the opportunity to experience Ferrari’s maximum expression of a high-performance road car. The 599 GTO beholds an extreme V12 producing 670 horsepower and catapulting this berlinetta from 0-100 km/h in 3.35 seconds.

From time to time, we get vehicles at SweetCars that require a little more than detailing. These cars often require what we like to call restorative detailing, which is an approach we took with a Maserati Quattroporte that was sent up from Palm Beach, Florida. This vehicle had the common “stickies” on the interior trim of the vehicle. The warm climate had virtually “melted” the majority of the interior. Some
I still remember the first time I saw the Lamborghini Diablo. At the time, no one could of imagined anything could come close to the Countach in terms of exotic looks, but when Lamborghini introduced the Diablo in 1990 all of that had changed for many of us.
