extreme detail: aston martin vantage

[extreme-detail]

when i was detailing the zonda at the motor show i was asked when can you do my aston lol



got talking to the client and was telling me his aston that he has had for a few months and needs a good detail (not wrong there lol). i told him you would have to wait about 4 weeks for it to be detailed, but he was lucky as 1 of my clients had to go away this so i slotted him in yesterday,



so off to aberdeen yesterday, got to the client`s house at 8am and some wicked roads where he stayed:thumb:





this is how it looked on arival

so first off was to spray the meg`s APC in the arches

then clean the wheels getting the inside of the wheels with the best brush for the job. the EZ brush

and it has no problems in tight spots:thumb:

so next was to pre soak the car with A/S citrus

then my foam

the car was left for 5 mins then rinesed



then the tryed and tested 2 bucket wash then rinesed off

so time to take it to the barn to dry off and what a sound when the aston started, i love the note of these.



once dryed off here is what i found :doublesho

here is a 50/50 for you

so out with the makita and 3m pads first off was the cutting pad and the menz ip then the finishing pad with FF

there was also some are`s that needed wet sanded



once the paint work was looking good again and there was some marks that were to deep to correct



for the protection i went with zaino and i do love this product and wish i tryed it years ago



so firts off was the Z6 then the Z2pro then the Z8



here is some afters at 8.30 pm and yes 12 and a half hours later

once again thanks for taking the time to have a look

Looks great! What are the benefits of using A/S citrus before presoak? What did you use a a shampoo?

i find the citrues helps to lift things the bug`s that are normanly found at the front of the car and any heavily dirty area`s then the foam take`s the the citrus off. that way you dont need to work away at the wee bug`s



for the shampoo do you mean for the 2 bucket wash if so it`s a C/G`s shampoo

and if you mean for the foam i got a company to make the foam for mr to the way i wanted it
