Oakes Detailed: Maserati GranTurismo - Grigio Goddess!

A 2009 Maserati Granturismo came to me for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating of the wheels and body using CQuartz. I previously detailed the owners last Maserati Quattroporte giving it the same treatment about a year ago.

The Grigio Granito is a stunning color for this Masi and the Giallo calipers really set it off! Without further aideu here are the photos of the paint condition before and after the process as well as the overall results of the detail. Enjoy! She really pops

Here is a rough 50/50 of the correction, being such a metallic paint it is hard to capture direct 50/50 photos. However, this should still give a general idea of the improvement!

Here are the finished gloss photos of the car after ceramic was applied and allowed to cure. These photos were taken around 7am after the owner landed in Philadelphia to come pick her up and drive her home. Absolutely LOVE the depth of this color

The detail looks great, nice work...that's a very classy color indeed!

I wish the owner would get a bigger set of wheels though, the rears look like they're not doing the car justice.

Thank you both! I agree the rear arches are much bigger than the fronts, making the wheels look smaller, it doesnt stand out too much in person though. Definitely a great looking car!
