Aston Martin vanquish S paint correction detail

Multiple stage paint correction - Engine bay detail - Interior valet.

I was called just shy of Christmas to carry out a pre-detail assessment on a clients car with regards to further detailing treatments there after. Vehicle in question was a lovely Aston Martin vanquish S which was a recently acquired barrel of fun.

Vehicle assessment was carried out through checking under light sources and measuring paint thickness with the Positest 200 multi layer paint depth gauge...

Giving relatively consistent readings all over albeit this one point of 80 ish mircrons. Due to the nature of the metallic in the paintwork, the ultra sonic's were not 100% accurate so a secondary check over in certain areas was carried out with the CM8228 paint thickness gauge which clarified a comparative read out of thickness. The client wanted nothing short of a perfect finish so full paint correction detail was agreed along with tending to the interior and engine with interior valet and engine bay detail.

No major wash preparation was needed but never the less, a scrupulous wash regime wash used to ensure all vehicle was washed, cleaned, decontaminated and ready for paint correction.

On with some cracking defects. Those that have a weak stomach may want to turn away now...

At this point we demonstrate the 50/50 bravado and before / after shots of various panels but I got so engrossed in the car that it was all but neglected.

Once all necessary steps were taken along the paint correction lines of things it was time to get things tidied and finalised.

Paintwork protection was something I was scratching my head about. Durability wasnt a factor as the vehicle would not be used much and is kept garaged, used only on dry days ( or will be ) In the end there was a light bit of banter with teh client and we set on Beau Technique Meilluer carnauba wax...
