Aston Martin, Porsche, and Range Rover this week...

**Clean Dean** · 06-11-2007, 09:24 PM

Wish all my days detailing were like the last couple of days. Weather has been beautiful here in NJ, and I have been having some fun again. This 2007 Aston Martin is a weekly hand wash customer, and after finishing the job, I had to take a few quick pics of this piece of automotive art.

The 2000 Porsche Boxter S was complete int/ext detail, and was also a very special car. The Speed Yellow paint needed a bit of leveling, but after a thorough buffing with Hi Temps Heavy Cut Leveler and Optimum Polish the paint was near showroom and ready for sealing with Meg’s #21.

The Black Range Rover was given a 5 hour detail about 9 weeks ago, and serves to demonstrate that consistent and careful hand washing with the 2 bucket method with MF wash mitts and a quality shampoo will maintain the paint near showroom. The car is hand waxed with a pure non-cleaner carnubu wax every 4 weeks and it really still looks great. The car missed week last week, and it is evident by the build-up of Brembo brake dust on the painted wheel.

Not bad for a daily driver (about 100 miles a day).

Looking good.

I did a Range Rover just exactly like that one on Saturday. Mine turned out quite a bit better though

Excellent job on all of them...the Aston Martin is beautiful...I have dreams of selling my house so I could afford one...

I really don`t care what anyone else says, but I think Aston Martin is generating some of the sexiest automobiles currently. Very nice job on all three. Were you able to clean the Brembo calipers before you left? If they`re normal calipers, I just usually give them a quick spray or brush, but with performance calipers(Stoptech, Brembo, Alcon, etc...) I make sure that I clean them very well so onlookers easily recognize the specialty of the high performance calipers.

I agree with you they make some great cars...another one to look at is Maserati very sexy cars...I stopped at a dealership some time back and was blown away.

Nice job on all the cars.....I`m totally jealous about getting to even work on one of these beauties

I place that I detail cars for the guy who owns it has two of them...blue and a black one...the black one is on a lift so I can`t really tell what the condition is...but the blue one is swirl heaven on the hood. I just can`t imagine how cars of this price can get so bad...(I mean I know how through improper care) I just can`t imagine it happening. I am hoping I will be able to do one of these soon...

The underneath of the cars is real cool...everything is covered....nothing shows...and I like the paddle shifters...

To me, Maserati`s look very chintzy. I guess it`s just not the quality that I would expect for that price.

Really? I sat in two brand new ones and was really impressed with the car...quality of the pipping in the leather and all....OK just my .02 is all

I also detailed one of those Range Rovers but in Grey...man that was a comfortable SUV...again I can`t afford it although I am closer than the Aston Martin...
