    Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to view another thread from Gleaming Kleen

    Here we have a 2006 Aston Martin DB9 that required just over 40 hours of work to get it looking its best:thumb:

    Client requested too have the wheel hubs re-painted as they were very rusty so whilst the wheels were off they were given a good clean and sealed. The wheel nuts were also polished before re-fitting the wheels.

    Wheels before clean....

    and wheels after a good deep clean.

    Once all machine polishing stages were complete paint was given a IPA wipe down and then GTechniq C1 was applied...

    The finer details were then take car of such as cleaning up the front grill and a few other bits.

    For what you did to the car, you should be made into a saint.
    The owner on the other hand, firing squad.

    Great job. Sexy car. Wow.

    Sweet jeebus, how did the car get that bad? Did the owner wash with scotch brite pads?
