2011 Aston Martin Carbon Black Edition DB9

New client with a Aston martin DB9 Carbon Black Edition sought me out to have his car corrected so it would be finally "As new", many issues such as factory sand scratches and holograms along with those holograms compound in every crevice on the car.


I do not see many Aston's(Would like to as they are beautiful when corrected properly) and conversing with Richie in Orlando as he has done over 175 Aston martins in the last few years on some special tips on this or that.


Car as it arrived.












Scratches on the wheels as well.




Sand scratch haze over right rear fender well.





More holograms.




Roofline had quite a bit of sand scratches as well, on the edges and a wide strip through the middle which made the car look like it had a "Mohawk" lol.







Correcting the haze.




Sand scratches down the middle of the roof.




After compounding step.







More examples of sand scratches.







Deep scratches on this "Brand new car" with only 584 miles on the speedo.......




More sand scratch haze.




A different angle of the trunk edge.




Deep marring removed off of lower bumper.




Guess this was missed @ The factory.




Corrected.

Well done!!! I thought Aston took a lot more pride in the cars that they produced..or could all have that happened during shipping and at the dealership?

Outstanding correction work.

That's how all Astons come from the factory. The sad thing is the employees on the finishing line are only paid $10-$15/hr so they are not going to be the best qualified or take much pride in their work.

TIGHTNESS has been achieved again!!

Looks Awesome, what did you use on the wheels to polish out the marring?

What kind of extension cords do you use?

How much is your electric bill?

What kind of refrigerator do you have?

What brand of bottled water do you drink?

How do you do it?

If that was directed towards me, I asked him a simple question I don't believe I asked you anything but thanks for your ignorant input. As a detailer I'm supportive of everyones work and am always looking for new products to try.
