    Maserati GranTurismo -


    Here’s a 3-year-old Maserati GranTurismo that has had a rough ride since new. The paint has been subjected to some very tough wash conditions and it shows in the paint. This was booked in for a minor correction detail to knock back the vast majority of the defects in the paint. This wasn't booked in for a full correction as the owner didn't want the car away for too long. As well as the obvious attention the paint needed, the car was treated to a full interior detail including leather cleanse and protect as well as total wheel refurbishment.

    Here is the car on arrival.

    The car was taken outside the unit to wash and decontaminate all surfaces including engine bay and door shuts etc.

    Then the car was brought back into the unit to finish off the decontamination stages.

    [​IMG]

    With the car only having a quick slap and dash washes in its ownership, it picked up quite a lot of deposits that only a thorough clay would remove.

    Once the paint was completely clean, I started to rejuvenate the paintwork to improve the gloss, depth and shine.

    Here is the paint before.

    [​IMG]

    Here is a 50/50 shot under natural light to give a real example of the difference made with the paint. The dull paint really let this car down!

    Again, under normal lighting you can see the clear coat has had a heavy beating.

    [​IMG]

    Much better

    Once the bulk of the polishing work was done, I finished off all the small areas on the car such as A pillars and wing mirror housings with the spot pads.

    [​IMG]

    Now the paintwork had been polished, it was time to get the interior sorted!

    Before:

    [​IMG]

    The leather had built up quite a layer of grime over time, this was cleaned away. Here you can see the difference in the 50/50 shot.

    [​IMG]

    More leather cleaning

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Once all the carpets, glass dash and console were thoroughly cleaned, this is what I left the interior looking like.

    [​IMG]

    I then started all the details off..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    The newly refurbished wheels with new Pirelli Rubber on the rears were refitted.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Once these were refitted, they were polished by hand with Swissvax cleaner fluid.

    [​IMG]

    Progress shot… no wax or otherwise on the paint in this shot.

    [​IMG]

    The paint was given an IPA wipe down, then cleansed with Swissvax cleaner fluid and 2x coats of Swissvax Best Of Show were applied.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Whilst the wax was curing, the wheels were sealed with Swissvax Autobahn.

    The next day prior to delivery, the car was given a quick wipe down with Swissvax Quick Finish.

    [​IMG]

    And…Finished!!

    The owner was delighted with the results, and was shocked to realise how the paint had gotten in the years he owned it. Needless to say, the only one looking after the paint and carrying out any washing in the future will be Miglior Detailing :)

    Thanks for reading guys!
