Recently completed Aston Martin Virage in Meteor Silver, 2012 model that needed some correction of the well known issues Aston`s have from the factory however after those issues were dealt with the end product is stunning along with the beautiful styling this vehicle has.
Small trail of "Pigtail sanding scratches".

A whole swath of sanding scratches on the roof, in the pic it looks like a spider web on the finish.
