dsms and Norcal Bob - Aston sand scratch correct

Next victim 2009 Aston Martin Vantage.

As expected Aston didnt do a great job on "finishing" the paint after DA sanding to say the least. Lots of pigtailing, rids and holograms.

First up wheels, at least these didnt have sand scratches:headbang:

Bob did the wash and I did the wheels, this system works good so far.. I like doing wheels



After



Inside after claying, under the halos. Pigtails and rids





Side vent left completely unfinished from the factory



We havent begun correction but it looks like this is a 50/50... nope, again just unfinished DA sanding from the factory





Some of the worst clusters were under the passenger door handle



Bob correcting, gray wool pad, M105



After correcting with the wool everything was followed up with Menz 106FA on a GI white fast cut pad and then Menz 85rd on the SM arnold 80ppi pad

After the 106FA



Bob wool corrected and I followed with the 106FA, then we split the car for jeweling using the 85rd after that.



After correction



Bob jeweling with the DeWalt, one handed... I asked if it got heavy with just one hand.



His response... he held it out dead still for about 45seconds:crasy:



Working the FA, cleaning up the compounding step



Under the Fenix





Bob jewling the side skirts



Fender after 85rd, clearer and less light refracting = leveled paint



No flash is a brilliant idea :doh:




After jeweling, no LSP



Engine all finished





The halogens could only capture so much.. some sun shots before the LSP











Finished shots after CG acrylic and JS109





























My personal favorite



Combined we spent a little over 26 hours on the Aston
