Maserati Granturismo Correction By Auto Concierge & Immaculate Reflections

Jeff and I completed two vehicles for this longtime client of mine(Who treated us like family btw with guest house lodgings and quality Napa Valley snacks!), this is my clients wife's daily and it has some 'Patina" nothing horrible but aggressive correction was required on different parts of the vehicle.


As inclement weather moved in right as we started the wash I along with the Gran Turismo had a "Shower", I took a few pics, but jeff will follow with the "Meat & Potatoes of the fine pics he took.




Jeff during the claying step.




Even though I have a "New to me" DSLR Nikon..................Jeff has a upgraded model and most important he knows how to use it.




The drivers side marker light was very loose, so at dinner the first night jeff and I headed into Napa to a OSH and picked up some two sided tape to effect a proper repair.




Tape in place(Kids do not try this @ home....................years of training in europe. j/k.




Marker light now snug against the body.




A few marring pics.







Jeff wishing we were @ the shop with the lift about the time this was taken.

 

Haha very nice. I love the commentary! Good work.

 

Never mind the car, lets see pics of the Napa Valley snacks!

 

Here are my pics from the Napa weekend working on the Maserati with Bob.

Enjoy!



Upon arrival, car looked pretty good











Wax in the edges of the protective clear film and in other spots as well















Bob working the wheels....thats a sweatshirt soaked in rain. A little water coming from the sky didn't scare us!







You can see the rain in the client's pool....this was light rain compared to what we dealt with the next two days....







Rinsing the wheels...






The car had a lot of bonded contamination....here is the clay after just half the hood...








Here's Bob claying the passenger side of the car while I worked the driver's side








Onto the paint.....time to handle the swirls and scratches























50/50 shot on the nose, just some light marring...

Bob working the inteior, and yes he fit back there


























































What's this lurking in the background?





Thanks for looking!

 

They didn't survive long enough to be photographed! We certainly did not go wanting....

 

You guys are really producing some quality work together, nothing like seeing two masters of the craft come together and bring out the best in a car worthy of it, really great job guys.

 

Great job on the detail and amazing photography Bob and Jeff!

 

Beautiful work on a beautiful car! You guys are an amazing team. As a fellow big older guy, how come your stuck on the inside doing windows Bob? I thought that was for the young bucks? LOL Great job gentleman. Thank You
Darren

 

great job guys!!!!

 

Very nice guys. Hey Bob, was that a MF applicator you were using on the rear window?

 

Thanks Darren! I'm still puzzled how I got away with it! Something tells me next time I won't be so lucky

 

Great work gents!

Great job. Love the car, but as a daily driver it would suck. My partner has that car and with NJ roads and traffic, it is rough, and its not even his DD.
I hope your client gets to stretch its legs.

 

bob+ lotus rear window would be great entertainment. Excellent as usual. Looks like bob has another good young guy under his tutelage

 

Great Job team, after's look mint.

 

Great for getting the film & outgassing of the interior glass Ken.

 

Jeff knows his stuff, not really showing him that much.

 

Great work, owner sure does have the right color combo on his cars!

 

Tightness as usual with you two tag teaming the italians (no pun intended)

 

thank you Bob

Thanks Dave!

LOL!!! thanks!
