2000 Aston Martin DB7 -- One Step

[imported_d00t]

I did this clients brand new 2010 A6 Avant a couple of months ago, and this beautiful DB7 was up from it's summer home in Carmel! It stays there year-round for the most part, and only has 9500 miles on it! Will be 10 years old in June



When I first arrived:

Started with the wheels. They got Megs Wheel Brightener 4:1, arches P21s TAW

Then I moved right to polishing. I ended up doing a 3 step on the hood, trunk, and roof, and a one-step on the rest of the paint. I figured it'd be typical gloss-black soft paint. NOPE! Decently hard, actually. Armed with my Flex DA, the horizontal panels received M105+PFW, M105+Orange Uber Pad, and M205+LC White Flat pad. The vertical panels got M105+Orange pad before switching to a white pad to finish off the haze.

Rear quarter, after:

Tires and wheel wells got Megs HD 3:1, wheels waxed with werkstat AJT, exhaust polished with P21S polishing soap.



LSP was two coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond AFPP

Great work. The DB7 is a timeless design. 10 years later and it still looks good.

Great work Aaron, I got a V8 Vantage to post after these midterms. I know what you mean by the hard clear though, 106 couldn't take off some of the light ones, so I had to bump mine up to SIP.
