    This was booked in for a Enhancement Detail

    Wheels & Arches
    - wheels cleaned with Bilberry and assortment of brushes
    - tyres & arches cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser
    - Wheels / Brake calipers protected with Zaino CS
    - tyres dressed with Swissvax Pneu

    Wash
    - foamed with P21S TAW
    - washed with lambswool washmit and Megs Shampoo Plus

    After washing all lower panels were sprayed with AS Tardis and gently wiped with a microfiber then i clayed the vehicle using Sonus Green.

    As this was only booked in for a Enhancement Detail it was only to recieve a single stage machine polish. I didnt spend a great amount of time taking pics of the defects because of this, however paintwork did suffer from swirling and marring and overall was very dull

    All polishing was done with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro and a 3M Polishing pad and this removed all swirling and marring just leaving behind just the deeper scratches.

    The pics below show how a Enhancement Detail can massively improve a vehicles paintwork without strectching to a Paint Correction Detail.

    What a classy car, and an immaculate detail job! You sometimes cant always tell the difference between a properly detailed gray or silver or a nicely washed gray or silver car but this Vantage really glows!

    The finish looks like it has very little OP as well, just like the new dark colored M3's right:giggle:

    My. favorite. motorcar.

    I've always loved Aston Martins. I probably could never detail one, as I'd have to constantly wipe my drool off the paint :D

    Great work, and Great reflection shots! I particularly like the open door one.

    Yet more incredible work by you. Love the car and I agree with the others the reflections especially for silver are phenomenal.
