    New client with a Aston martin DB9 Carbon Black Edition sought me out to have his car corrected so it would be finally "As new", many issues such as factory sand scratches and holograms along with those holograms compound in every crevice on the car.


    I do not see many Aston's(Would like to as they are beautiful when corrected properly) and conversing with Richie in Orlando as he has done over 175 Aston martins in the last few years on some special tips on this or that.


    Car as it arrived.

    Roofline had quite a bit of sand scratches as well, on the edges and a wide strip through the middle which made the car look like it had a "Mohawk" lol.

    Looks outstanding! Polishing out all the wheel spokes must have taken an age.

    Also, you should change the title of your post to AM DB9 Mohawk edition. Lol

    Sheesh, it truly does boggle the mind how stuff like that is allowed to pass by certain folks.

    Very nice work, man! Love that paint!

    A great turnover on this one. I did an Aston Martin vantage myself a little while ago, and it is sad to se one of the worlds nicest cars be that neglected.
