Oakes Detailed: Maserati GranTurismo - Grigio Goddess!

[OakesDetail]

A 2009 Maserati Granturismo came to me for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating of the wheels and body using CQuartz. I previously detailed the owners last Maserati Quattroporte giving it the same treatment about a year ago.



The Grigio Granito is a stunning color for this Masi and the Giallo calipers really set it off! Without further aideu here are the photos of the paint condition before and after the process as well as the overall results of the detail. Enjoy! She really pops

Here is a rough 50/50 of the correction, being such a metallic paint it is hard to capture direct 50/50 photos. However, this should still give a general idea of the improvement!

Here are the finished gloss photos of the car after ceramic was applied and allowed to cure. These photos were taken around 7am after the owner landed in Philadelphia to come pick her up and drive her home. Absolutely LOVE the depth of this color

Stunning!!!!!!

[C. Charles Hahn]

I love looking at your threads, not just for the awesome details but also the "Where`s Waldo" game of finding the watermarks :lol

[shortspark]

Incredible car. Incredible detail.

[Scottwax]

Terrific job, the gloss is insane!

[Uber Auto Conditioning]

Car looks great, I hope to be at that level someday. What kind of camera are you using for pics? What do you like about cquartz that makes you use it over some of the other coating products?

[OakesDetail]

Thank you all! Everyone seems to enjoy the wheres the logo game haha.



MarkyMark I`m using a Canon Rebel XTi with different lenses, nothing crazy! I`ve become more comfortable with and have tested the durability of CQuartz for a few years now, just a preference!

[Leadfootluke]

Well done! I just love the wide-body of the Quattroporte



Keep up the good work and the classy threads!

[MrCLRider]

The paint is stunning! I too love that color.



I`m a car guy though and those back wheels just don`t look right in those huge wheel wells.
