    Aston Martin DBS Volante


    Hi Guys, thanks for checking out another thread.

    An Aston Martin main dealer in Essex booked in this car after the owner was not too impressed with the condition of the car. The car was brand new and full of serious marks. These dark black metallics from Aston Martin are incredibly soft and mare very easily. The dealers were very quick to act to ensure the vehicle got the right care to deliver the car back to the happy owner.


    Here is the car on arrival, 400 miles on the clock.

    There was also one of the diamond cut alloy wheels which needed attention

    Polish residue in nearly every panel gap

    Dull and swirled paint apparent

    So it was outside for a careful was and decontamination

    After the car was fully cleaned, clayed and rinsed we brought the car back inside to properly dry off with compressed air to blow out all the water from any panel gaps/crevices.

    Now the car was dry and had an IPA wipe down, it was time for polishing!

    Various shots of the correction process now, as you can see it was a real mess!

    So once all the correction was done and I was happy with the finish after quite a lot of light burnishing etc., the car was given a wipe down to remove any polishing oils prior to applying a crystal lacquer coating. This will help to protect the car in the future against wash marring and obviously repel and protect against dirt.

    Here are some after pics…

    Wheel back on..

    Stunning warm glow to the paint even though a crystal lacquer sealant was used. Look at that lovely flake too!

    I took some shots outside too on a bit of miserable day before the car was collected..
