Aston Martin DB9

I'll get better pictures - I'll be seeing it every other friday.

Not much I can say about this one. This color is also one of a kind. Took 116 hours to paint it.

Before

Light to medium swirls over the entire car except the trunk - holograms everywhere.

Re: Aston Martin DB9

I was asked to just put a coat of wax on it the first time since it was sunday and he wanted me to be quick. Well, I wasn't going to let those holograms stay so i decided to use Poli Seal on an AG 5' white pad. This combo not only eliminated the buffer trails, the swirls went with them! There are 2 deeper scratches remained that I am aware of. I'll get it looking perfect in the coming weeks. The owner is very happy with the results and isn't interested in anymore paint correction until winter. We will see about that!!

Interior

Vacuum
Wet MF towel wipe down.



Exterior

wash
no claying needed
poli seal
sip/ohc 1500rpm white pad (part of the trunk)
grape dressing on tires

Re: Aston Martin DB9

I work painting cars and I understand that many hours was probably put into that I would dismantle everything to make it unnoticeable respray. you did a great job in such a short period of time to bring that car to the next level.


I don't know if you checked out a thread I started if you could look at it I really value your opinion.
