Invisible Touch Detailing - Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Postby InvisibleTouchDetailing » Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:18 am

Hi,

Here we have a V8 Aston Martin booked in for a stage 1 paint enhancement. Arriving on a Sunday afternoon with the sun shining at this late time of year, you could tell the paintwork was in need of some tlc. So, onto the job and a quick walk around the vehicle...

Drivers side bolster showing signs of wear

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Tyres were sprayed with APC and aggitated

Image

Image

Wheels with Bilberry

Image

Image

Calipers with APC

Image

As were all door, boot and fuel shuts

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The vehicle was then snowfoamed and washed by 2 bucket method using shampoo plus. It was then taken into the garage to be clayed before being washed outside again

Image

Image

After being dried, paint readings were taken across the car

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The paintwork was then inspected prior to machine polishing

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Typical signs of the rubber hose catching the paint when inflating tyres

Preparing the front wing for polishing using the Makita rotary, 3M polishing pad and backing plate and Menzerna 106FA

Rear bumper

Image

Image

Once all polishing was complete and ipa'd i moved onto the interior

Image

Image

Image

A nice stain on the passenger side of the rear carpet

Image

Carpets were fully hoovered and then wet vac'd

Image

Swissvax cleaner fluid was applied to the paintwork

Image

Before applying Swissvax Best of Show

Image

Image

Image

The glass was then polished. Poorboys sealant was applied to the wheels

Image

Tyre dressed with Endurance gel

Image

All seals and exterior plastics were treated. The engine bay was not part of the detail but was wiped over, plastics and seals also treated

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Mark popped over to reconolise the drivers bolster. The remaining leather was cleaned and conditioned with Gliptone products

Image

These were the final pictures

When the owner picked that up they must have thought you had painted it!
