SpeedFreak Detailed: Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black Series

[SpeedFreak81]

Here's a quick detail from today at Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA. I was called in to do a quick micro polish just to punch up the gloss and minimize defects. Luckily Aston/Jaguar paint is pretty soft so I was able to get some pretty decent correction as well. The car has been detailed previously, and had the dealer installed holograms and buffer trails, coupled with the usual wash induced swirling. In full sun it was easily visible, as evident by the before shots. Note the buffer trails in the driver's side door. I wish I had a larger budget to work with, as this beautiful car would be a standout with a proper multi stage correction. Abe also wanted to have the leather on the interior cleaned and conditioned as well. The inside of this thing is literally ALL leather, I'm not exaggerating when I say I think the only surfaces NOT swathed in fine leather are made of glass or billet aluminum. Even the female end of the seat belts are wrapped in leather, something I've never seen before.:buttrock

I was semi pressed for time as I didn't get started until close to 3pm, so no during or 50/50 shots this time.

I absolutely can't believe you were able to do so much correcting with p085 on a grey pad!! Was the paint softer than say porche paint? Also does hd poxy have any fillers? I have a bottle of it but haven't had a chance to try it out yet....

Aston/Jag paint is SUPER soft, I'd venture to say it's right up there with black Porsche paint. The original plan was just to try and punch up the gloss, but I was able to get so much correction I just went for it.

HD Poxy has ZERO fillers, and is an excellent sealant. Definitely one of my favorites!

Speedfreak81,

I see that you're located in Fairfax and I'm just about to move to Springfield. Do you have a website? What's the best way to get in touch with you to discuss detailing?

Best,
Guy
