2008 Aston Martin Vantage Mansory By Richie's Custom Detailing
 
This 2008 Aston Martin Vantage Mansory was traded in on a 2010 DBS Volante.

The car was covered in swirls, holograms, RIDS and sanding scratches.

Here's what I had to work with.

Prewash rinse showed signs of prior LSP and needed to be stripped.

No more beading.

Thanks for looking.

2 things.

1. Aside from the stacked exhaust, beautiful car, with even better results.
2. I will never own a black car.

I'm glad you took the time to examine the level of paint correction needed to bring the finsh back up to snuff. :readthethread:

That car is awesome. Not usually a fan of the body kits, but I like it. And you did an excellent job on the paint correction! Looks new! and the P40's are hot!

I did read, and was very impressed with your hard work and dedication.

what's the problem?

Dev Apr 11, 2010 11:26 AM

Dang. I need to learn how to detail like that. My black M3 has so many scratch and it bothers me. The problem is I don't live in Florida or else I would just bring the car to you. I was wondering if you could tell me how you get rid of those scratches and what products work best so that I may try it? I am guessing there is some claybar in this detailing? I could be wrong.

Swoody Apr 13, 2010 02:04 PM

Fantastic job. My question is...How does the next owner keep it swirl free and without other defects (holograms etc..) Why were there sanding scratches in there to begin with?? Correction project gone wrong?? No comment on the body kit as that has nothing to do with you guys...your work looks excellent!
