Man I need some CR. Nice job!

 

Don't you love all these teasers : )

 

Wow incredible vehicles you've been detailing Phil and all in my favorite colour..blue :druling:

I got a question, this DB 9 what year is it? The reason I ask is because I was under the impression that Ford has there hand in these Aston Martins but I just recently read that Aston Martin is now owned by a private company in England.

 

Oh man, oh man! :worship2: :worship2: I love the Aston Martin. Awesome job Phil! Where are the pics of the inside? oke:

 

I believe this was a 2006 when ford was still in ownership.

forgot to mention this was one of the worst paints I have ever worked on.

sorry this was an exterior only job.

 

Was the paint soft, medium, or hard? What color pads did you use?

 

Damn Phil that car is amazing, super job as always. That engine must have been real clean for you guys to use a super plush towel on it.:applause2:

 

06 huh, yes Ford still had ownership but I'm surprised it's tagged as built in England..I thought during there Ford ownership they were not being built in England :shead:

Thanks for the info :thumb:

 

Great job on a tremendous car. And like Nica I do love the blue!

 

I believe they are all still made in England.

Yes the engine was pretty clean.

Orange Pad and Blue pad to finish.

 

Thanks JL

 

you did a phenominal job on the paint phil !!

 

Oh really they are still being manufactured in England huh..mmm..interesting.

I wonder if Ford parts where used on some of these vehicles?..mmm...:thinking: looks like I'll need to do some more reading on these Aston Martins, just when I thought I had it all figured out :wall:

 

yes they are used...did you see this post I put up:

Cannot really beat a clean DB9, beautiful color to boot!

 

Thanks everyone!
