Cquartz UK 3.0 topped with GLISS - Corrected and coated 2018 Aston Martin DB11


A brief rundown on this vehicle,

I picked it up in late December, and the dealer was told to not touch the paint. Once I took delivery the car was hand clayed and decontaminated.

Due to weather and my work schedule I did not have time to correct the paint but applied 2 coats of classic on the vehicle.

Why?

A few reasons,
- I wasn’t sure how much I would actually be driving it till I knew I would have time for a correction in the spring (in my line of work, I get a few months off April-June)
- my other vehicles are coated so coating this vehicle will keep my wash routine simple.
- I like the protection it gives

- I have only put 100 miles on it since December

Please note: I’m not a professional and strictly do this for fun / hobby.
