Maserati Gran Turismo Correction detail

Jeff and I completed two vehicles for this longtime client of mine(Who treated us like family btw with guest house lodgings and quality Napa Valley snacks!), this is my clients wife's daily and it has some 'Patina" nothing horrible but aggressive correction was required on different parts of the vehicle.


As inclement weather moved in right as we started the wash I along with the Gran Turismo had a "Shower", I took a few pics, but jeff will follow with the "Meat & Potatoes of the fine pics he took.




Jeff during the claying step.




Even though I have a "New to me" DSLR Nikon..................Jeff has a upgraded model and most important he knows how to use it.




The drivers side marker light was very loose, so at dinner the first night jeff and I headed into Napa to a OSH and picked up some two sided tape to effect a proper repair.




Tape in place(Kids do not try this @ home....................years of training in europe) j/k.




Marker light now snug against the body.




A few marring pics.







Jeff wishing we were @ the shop with the lift about the time this was taken.

Here are my pics from the Napa weekend working on the Maserati with Bob.

Enjoy!




Upon arrival, car looked pretty good











Wax in the edges of the protective clear film and in other spots as well















Bob working the wheels....thats a sweatshirt soaked in rain. A little water coming from the sky didn't scare us!







You can see the rain in the client's pool....this was light rain compared to what we dealt with the next two days....







Rinsing the wheels...






The car had a lot of bonded contamination....here is the clay after just half the hood...








Here's Bob claying the passenger side of the car while I worked the driver's side








Onto the paint.....time to handle the swirls and scratches























50/50 shot on the nose, just some light marring...
