2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante by Richie's Custom Detailing Central/South Florida

My client recently acquired this beautiful 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante in Morning Frost White.

He was unsatisfied with the initial appearance after taking delivery so I was contacted to restore this beauty to a proper state.

Upon my initial inspection it didn't look too bad but the halogens would tell a different story.

8:00 am. Time to get started.











Some DA sand marks left behind and obviously missed by QC inEngland. :shead:





Corrected.







One of many RIDS to be corrected.



Corrected.



Almost every panel had DA sand marks right up to the edges.





Corrected.





More DA sand marks.





Corrected.



Random scratch on the deck lid.



Gone.



Heavy pigtails.



Corrected.



After.





Before pulling the car outside for some pics a little visitor decided to show up.

Final shot.

 

BEAUTIFUL! Never seen one in white!

 

AND THE NEIGHBOR ROLLS A CELEBRITY (?) !!!!

 

DA sand scratches decimated.......................by the "Bing". What a car, look at the interior .............Certified tightness :applause2:

 

Its a shame cars to see such high end cars continually come from the factory like that, especially when these manufacturers tout their quality control process and their attention to detail. Great job Richie, way to bring that thing back to the way it should look!

 

Great work Richie,superb car. Do you happen to know what type of wood that is on the trim? Its odd looking but looks wicked cool on that car!

 

Damn. That car is Hot!

Nice work Richie :applause:

 

Probably the under-paid housekeepers car. Awesome job richie, love the interior.

Greatness as always Richie, that's some crazy wood on the interior.

Just went from 6 to midnight. Aston Martin's are my all time favorite car. Great job!

 

That wood trim is incredible.

Good catches on inspection Richie; nice work bringing her back to 100%.

 

Nice Job!

 

Awesome work on an amazing car.

But i've got a new slogan for ya Richie. "Richie's custom detailing, I'm so good i make bambi want to drive your Aston!"

 

Damn fine work!

 

Thanks for the comments.


Small update to this thread.

My client entered the Virage in the 8th Annual Cars for the Cure show.

There were more than 200 cars in attendance.

He took home one of three People's Choice Awards. I've attended this show four years in a row and I have had clients take home at least one trophy from this event three out of four years.

My client was extremely happy and insisted I have my picture taken with his car and trophy, normally I don't do this but my client wouldn't take no for an answer so who am I to argue with a client?

Well here are the pics.















My Client.



and yours truly.

 

Another trophy..................."Now what?"....lol, looks like all that training in Vegas paid off . :

 

What kind of wood is used in these cars? that thing just POPS out at you, i love it........

 

The wood is Tamo Ash.
