Detailed: 09 Maserati Gran Turismo S

Recently I detailed this Maserati Gran Turismo S in Nero Black. The car came in dirty as it's been driven quite frequently. I had my friend MattKwok take photos for me as this car deserved some better after shots. No polishing was done, I used Collinite 845 for it's durability. The roads are still being salted, a paint correction detail will be later carried out.

Thanks for looking!

 

Back to black! Nice job!

 

Nice job Brendan. Great pics!

 

great job!

 

Nice work Brendan! So the riccardo blue didn't marr anything?

 

Damn that interior is sexy.

 

nice work and great pictures.

 

Very cool.. Your buddy is extremely talented

 

nice work!

 

Nice work Brendan and cool photo's too.

 

Such a beautiful car, i'm surprised the owner let it get so dirty!

 

Sex on wheels. Georgeous car and great job bro! Thank you for the great pics.How did you like Exclusives APC? I gotta get some of that from Ken.(sorry that was off topic)

 

Sorry to yell but, I LOVE THAT CAR!!!
Great job on the detail and the pro-tography!

Love it!
Joe D.

 

I have to say you made a damn sexy car damn sexier

 

Thanks guys! Ken's APC works excellent, love the colour of it because you can actually see where you've sprayed APC and all. Works great on tires as well. As you can see the wheels had a lotta brake dust on there, the APC took care of it no problem. I haven't had any problems with Riccardo blue, I just make sure I use a lot of lubricant when using it. I go through about two and a half 32oz bottles of ONR mixed at clay lube dilution when I clay a car.

 

Great Job Brendan, did you use kens apc straight or at any specific dilution, does it compare to zep citrus in cleaning or even smell, that was one of my initial fav cleaners due to the citrus smell, some of the caustic stuff can choke you up, sorry about the side notes. Again love the Gran Turismo

Hey Ken, when are you gonna start selling the apc? from the reviews Ive seen, it looks like great stuff

 

Awesome job by both of you! I love those cars, I was fortunate to do one of those also, it was in alot better condition than what you recieved.

 

I used Ken's APC 3:1. I use Zep Citrus quite frequently as well due to it's local availability and low cost. Ken's APC isn't scented which I don't mind. I'm used to using bad smelling cleaners. But I was quite surprised how well it worked at 3:1. I'd definitely give this a go, a lot more effective at 3:1 then Zep Citrus is.

 

Nice work and pics and a bad ass car.

 

Great work! That is a sexy ass vehicle for sure!!!
