2006 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT in Nero Carbonio Metallic










The entire car pretty much looks the same, aside from all the etching on the horizontal panels which my camera didn't want to capture. Swirl marks and deep isolated scratches plagued the finish.

Everything was taped up to prepare for polishing after washing and claying, including the interior b pillar which was machine polished along with the door shuts.





50/50













The etching on the horizontal surfaces required sanding, and a lot of energy.














Still working on it, much more to come.







I have already sanded down all the touch ups and polished them out, just haven't taken pictures of them yet, it's the correct paint, but this metallic is so over powering that the touched up areeas look a little darker, but much better than big gashes in the paint.

Awesome job Brian. What products did you use on it?

[Brian_Brice]

Megs... 6,7,16,105,205,scratch x on tight areas in the door jambs. Hyper dressing, gummi fledge, leatherique, power clean, z10, zaio, for the most part, that's what I remember, I was trying to make it an all Megs detail, which I just about did, and there were many other products used, I'll just take a pic of them. Thanks again Pat. It's really tiring reposting things like this, but I do want to make sure friends of mine over here see it.

Hey man great job...as great of a job as you did on the outside...i LOVE what you did with the seats. I know some people like the 'matte' finish..but I like it to shine like grease! (which is exactly what you did). What was your process of preping and applying the final product? I've never read up on leatherique, but I sure might try some now after seeing what you did with it.

Also might I add....what the heck did that body shop do to get that interrior pillar in THAT bad a shape...i mean wow...thats really (well WAS really) bad looking.
