    Excessive Detailing: 2010 Aston Martin Vantage - Black 6sp

    Quick inspection of the car:

    Right off the bat i noticed a deep scratch in the dead front center of the car.



    Few other spots too like the roof:


    Rear passenger quarter panel, right next to the baked on bird dookie, below that is the clear bra for the rear fender.


    Lots of grime and road debris


    Plenty of caked up brake dust




    Used APC on the tires and wheels


    Still dwelling, sprayed a little foam on it to keep the APC working


    Thorough cleaning before more APC and SONAX full effect



    Worrkkitttttt


    My favorite pic of this detail:


    Note how i keep the Sonax OFF the rotors!


    While thats going on for the other three wheels, I went ahead and started the paint decontamination. DAWN ultra concentrated. Claybar all that stuff you do that gets your hands wet so you cant take too many pictures.



    Fender linings





    Air Dry, we used waffle weave towels and a little qd spray i mixed up to prep the surface and leave a streak free dry.



    We wet sanded the spot and did a spot correction. Our paint gauge showed a very healthy coat on the hood. The polishing later ensured we had a uniform finish on the hood. The flex da and CCS pads were a great combination to really get even correction with the curves of the car.


    The paint had extensive swirling, but no deep gouges that a dirty dealership machine wash would do. The clear bra was faded and very dull.

    After the correction, We ended up with extra time to do a polish with the Rupes Big Foot.





    I decided to use the Yellow pad w/ the Rupes Quarz Gloss Medium Gel Compound... or as i call it.. GREEN. The results were amazing.

    We applied Menzerna PowerLock and gave it a good hour to cure while we detailed the rest of the vehicle. A LSP after a week would really make this car disappear.


    "clear bra"


    Obviously the bird dookie is gone, and the scratch



    Brake Calipers lightly coated with Wolfgang all paint sealant, clean barrels. Fender lining dressed with Chemguys Bare bones

    Beautiful day as well.





    Basic Interior Detailing Included:
    Micro Vacuum
    Basic Water Based Leather / Vinyl / Rubber Dressing
    Glass Cleaned
    The center piece was a beautiful piece of glass after we coated it with Blacklight... smells like grapes and new car!


    Aside where the bra started to shrink.. its pretty clear



    And that would be my partner Steve! Only guy I can trust to get the correction im looking for! Thanks for viewing.
