2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante

[Richie's Custom Detailing]

I was contacted by my local Aston Dealer to prep their first 2010 DBS Volante for delivery.







The color is Lightning Silver with Blood Red Interior/Silver Stitch.







The paint was in good condition with light marring and holograms.







The defects were hard to capture with the silver metallic paint, but I was able to catch one of the holgrams with the LED light.







Well on with the show........

Thanks for looking.

Stunning work on a stunning car! I prefer the coupe, but this ain`t bad :woot2:.

I particularly like the "healthy look" that you gave to the tires with your dressing. What dressing did you use? That is the ideal "sheen" that I strive for when doing tires. :up



One question: Perhaps I`m Americanized and used to my Avg Joe cars having "door grabs" to help you close the door while you`re seated and closing the door. What do you grab in the DBS? You grab the Map Pocket and close the door? :cooleek:

[white gecko]

what a beauty! great job!

[ToadWart]

any chance of telling us what you use to clean tire release agent? nice work o.O

[vtec92civic]

lucky! that is a great car and you did great work on it. Must be nice to be near all those fancy car dealerships!

[imported_artikxscout]

that is a very beautiful car, even better the B&O system, at LEAST a 3k option. What size pads did you use and backing plate? I`m thinking about switching my 6" backing plate with a 5", and running 5.5" pads for more control.

i was wondering the same and was also going to do the same. It would be nice to have a few different size backings and pads. Hopefully in the future i can do that.



Looks like it might be the 3M or Gloss It backing. I`m prob. going to try the Gloss It at some point.

[dickwitham]

What a beautiful car! I think every time I see an another Aston Martin I love them even more...



Superb work!

[Mobilejay]

wow thats a beautiful car, minus the red top. Nice work, it looks great.

[dschribs]

wow thats a beautiful car, minus the red top



And the red interior...ugh

[drew.haynes]

I think the blood red and chocolate interior is b1tch1n.



Looks like that is the Meguiar`s so1o backing plate if I were to guess.. that`s the one I have.

[Thomas Dekany]

Fantastic work as always.

Is that a gloss it pad?

[Rcracin]

is that the ebrake on the left of the driverseat?

[MichaelSpoots]

is that the ebrake on the left of the driverseat?



No, it is an umbrella :rolleyes::.

Yes, that is the parking brake. I see it most often in European supercars :bigups.

[imported_DJ Mayo]

I got this BP for $27 shipped. It`s the exact same as the 3M one they sell for $60 or so. The car looks AWESOME. So mean looking. The red top is a must go, a hard top would be slick. Great job Richie.
