This was a very enjoyable detail, just love the older Astons I started by giving the wheels a clean using P21S Wheel Gel and then car recieved a good pre-soak with Autoglym Powermax 3, followed by a careful wash using a Zymol sponge and Duragloss 902 shampoo. After washing, the contaminants on the paint were dealt with using a Sonus clay bar and Megs Last Touch as lube. Engine bay was given a good clean, this was carried out by spraying BH Surfex which was left to dwell a few minutes and then wiped clean with a damp cloth. Some parts needed scrubbing with a Megs Triple Duty brush to fully breakdown and remove the build up of grime and grease. Few before and after pics Once clean engine bay was then sealed with Swissvax MotorShine Under the sun gun and halogens the paint was heavily swirled and full of random deep scratches. Once i did a test panel to find a combo on the rock hard paint I know that the 3 days (2 days paint, 1 day interior/engine bay) that i was given to work on the car would not be enough time to fully correct the paintwork and remove the many random deep scratches found on some panels. With the limited amount of time available I would say about 85% correction was achieved, the paint could have easily seen another 2 days of work. The main goal was to restore some life back to the very flat looking paintwork:thumb: Once correction stage was complete I went around the car and refined the paintwork Vehicle was given a IPA wipedown and then a coat of Blackfire Al Finish Paint Protection was applied by DA, a second coat was applied the following morning. Wheels and all chrome were sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant and tyres were dressed with Migliore Bella Lustra Tyre Glaze. Interior was given a thorough vacuum and then the leather was cleaned with LTT, glass cleaned with 3M Glass Cleaner. Instrument panel cleaned with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and a coat of Swissvax Best of Show was then applied. Few finished shots Thanks for looking
absolutely awesome looking car! the wheels seemed to be in great shape for a car that age and design (they look like a pain!)...nice Job on the detail!
Absolutely stunning. Love the reflections of the gravel driveway coming from the paint. Awesome pictures during the wash, as well !!
