2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition by Richie's Custom Detailing

[Guest]

I dont understand why the old mitts are better than the new ones. I saw the new ones at auto zone and they feel VERY soft. Why would Viking replace their old product with something of lesser quality?

I'm talking about the old 100% cotton chenille mitts to the new chenille mitts.

I think (IMO, not sure at all) that it must be cheaper to not make it 100% cotton because if they could make 100% cotton for the same price or even cheaper, they would do it. The cotton mitts are more expensive in stores near me, which would lead me to believe they are more expensive to make.



If something's a little more expensive, your average Joe User would buy the cheaper product. He's using Dawn to wash his car and Armor-All to protect his dash and doesn't care if he uses a plastic wash mitt or a cotton one. It's all economics.

Is this a good reason to stock up on the Viking "100% cotton chenille" mitts as the new "Chenille" mitts are replacing the real cottons mitts?

I was called in to revive the finish on this 1 of 40 Carbon Black V12 Vantage.

Powered by Aston's 6.0 Litre 510 HP V12 mated to a six speed manual transmission makes this one of my all time favorite Astons.

It also comes equipped with carbon ceramic brakes and carbon fiber trim and Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires with a treadwear rating of 60.

Well onto the correction.

Only 35 miles.

After the wash and ready to begin.

Carbon Fiber hood vents removed.

Some of the defects.

DA sand scratches.

Strut brace before.

After.

50/50 shots.

After.
