SpeedFreak Detailed: Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black Series
Here's a quick detail from today at Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA. I was called in to do a quick micro polish just to punch up the gloss and minimize defects. Luckily Aston/Jaguar paint is pretty soft so I was able to get some pretty decent correction as well. The car has been detailed previously, and had the dealer installed holograms and buffer trails, coupled with the usual wash induced swirling. In full sun it was easily visible, as evident by the before shots. Note the buffer trails in the driver's side door. I wish I had a larger budget to work with, as this beautiful car would be a standout with a proper multi stage correction. Abe also wanted to have the leather on the interior cleaned and conditioned as well. The inside of this thing is literally ALL leather, I'm not exaggerating when I say I think the only surfaces NOT swathed in fine leather are made of glass or billet aluminum. Even the female end of the seat belts are wrapped in leather, something I've never seen before.:buttrock
I was semi pressed for time as I didn't get started until close to 3pm, so no during or 50/50 shots this time.

Nice work on a rare Aston. The paint looks much better after you got done.

Looks good. It will never make sense to me how someone who can afford a car like that, won't take the time or put the money into it to get it fully detailed correctly.

If it stands up to their care and handling, they can keep having fun, knowing the car isn't getting trashed. If it doesn't, then they can get a full correction and know that they need to be more careful...certainly less fun there. Just taking a guess here. I'm also guessing that the mats weren't to be cleaned because new mats are going to go in the car at some point.
Especially considering how little time was put into the car (3 hours?) it really looks great. That's a totally hot car. When I show the pics to my wife, I bet the first two words out of her mouth are, "I want."

I'm not saying the OP didn't do a good job. With the short time it looks like he made the best of it, and the vehicle looks great....inside. I highly doubt that 85rd did a ton for correcting those swirls shown in the before sunshots. My point is I don't understand how someone would pay that much for a car and probably not even give a second thought to the tons of maintenance costs in keeping it running, but then neglect the finish. Just my opinion.
