2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante by Richie's Custom Detailing Central/South Florida

[Richie's Custom Detailing]

My client recently acquired this beautiful 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante in Morning Frost White.



He was unsatisfied with the initial appearance after taking delivery so I was contacted to restore this beauty to a proper state.



Upon my initial inspection it didn't look too bad but the halogens would tell a different story.



8:00 am. Time to get started.

Some DA sand marks left behind and obviously missed by QC in England.:clap1:

Corrected.

One of many RIDS to be corrected.

Corrected.

Almost every panel had DA sand marks right up to the edges.

Corrected.

More DA sand marks.

Corrected.

Random scratch on the deck lid.

Heavy pigtails.

After.

Before pulling the car outside for some pics a little visitor decided to show up.

Awesome job Richie. I always appreciate true corrections on light colors since it's such a struggle to actually SEE the defects sometimes. Light colors can be just as much work as darker ones, because inspection is that much more difficult. :bow



And I must say, that interior should be the gold standard for every other manufacturer to be judged against. It's nicer than my living room for heavens sake.

Now THAT is a beautiful Aston. That color is to die for. We all know Aston makes wicked nice interiors, but that one is.....just.....wow!





Great job Richie! Or should I start calling you Mr. Aston?

I saw the new line-up at the Palm Beach Super Show a few weekends ago,

Absolute beautiful car and an amazing job on correcting such a light color, which we know can be a real challenge.

Thanks for the feedback guys.





Small update to this thread.



My client entered the Virage in the 8th Annual Cars for the Cure show.



There were more than 200 cars in attendance.



He took home one of three People's Choice Awards. I've attended this show four years in a row and I have had clients take home at least one trophy from this event three out of four years.



My client was extremely happy and insisted I have my picture taken with his car and trophy, normally I don't do this but my client wouldn't take no for an answer so who am I to argue with a client?



Well here are the pics.

My Client.

and yours truly.

Very cool!

 

[Advanced Detailing]

It's nice to be appreciated that much by your clients, makes the hard work all the more worth it.

Congrats Ritchie. As always you did the car justice! Not so big on the wood touch, but you just can't argue with an Aston.

Great work Richie, it's nice to see that car get the attention it deserves!



I just moved from the Heathrow/Lake Mary area. I actually went to some of the meets they held. I believe it was called Coffee and Cars?

Gorgeous work and a very cool color. Really a soft white. Just perfect.
