Aston Martin Rapide Correction Detail

Just finished yesterday, a longtime client picked up this pre-owned Rapide that was not well maintained so I was brought in to get the vehicle back into "As-new" condition. Daniel from Car Connoisseur was up this week to help me with some major correction details.

Vehicle before the wash/decon steps were carried out.











Condition of the clearfilm on the hood, someone had used a rotary on it...................... not good.





Compound residue in the jambs(Shuts for the UK guys......).





Fingernail damage.





Deep scratches on the rear of the car(95 % correction later as the finish in that area was sub 97 microns).





Compound residue was everywhere.





Typical Aston DA sand scratches left behind.





Scratches removed.





More defects in the same area.





Defects corrected.





Daniel cutting out defects from the rear passenger door.





Why I missed my lift back at the shop.





Daniel working hard along side me(We would get three days of work done in two due to his work ethic).




Cutting the roof.




Some 50/50's of the one of the doors.








During polishing stage.

 

Hard water etch plus compound/dirt, this would "Take a little while" to fix was a understatement.





As I knew the completion of the job would be late into the evening, I took sun pics .......................... *note the car in not finalized with glass, crevices, LSP *. Wanted nice sun pics to show the beauty of the flake in the finish.














Engine bay free of water spots& grime.





Daniel cleaning the interior(Burning the midnight oil literally).





Spotless wheels.





LED light pic.








All finished and ready to be enjoyed.

Very nice....paint looks awesome in those sun pics.

*Insert comment on unfinished driveway*

 

The drive way is crushed aggregate................... very toney and upscale............."Napa Valley" style. Thanks guys for the kind words as Daniel and I humped it to get done in a semi-reasonable timeframe.

 

very clean, what products were used?

 

Cleaning products? LOL.

 

haha i understand it fits with the landscape....just figured somebody would say it!

Daniel and Bob the Dynamic Duo battling the defects and winning, always!
