Invisible Touch Detailing - Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:18 amHi,
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
Tyres were sprayed with APC and aggitated
Wheels with Bilberry
Calipers with APC
As were all door, boot and fuel shuts
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
After being dried, paint readings were taken across the car
The paintwork was then inspected prior to machine polishing
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
Working my way around
Rear bumper
Once all polishing was complete and ipa'd i moved onto the interior
A nice stain on the passenger side of the rear carpet
Carpets were fully hoovered and then wet vac'd
Swissvax cleaner fluid was applied to the paintwork
Before applying Swissvax Best of Show
The glass was then polished. Poorboys sealant was applied to the wheels
Tyre dressed with Endurance gel
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
Mark popped over to reconolise the drivers bolster. The remaining leather was cleaned and conditioned with Gliptone products
These were the final pictures
Thank you for reading,
Christian
