Here's a quick detail from today at Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA. I was called in to do a quick micro polish just to punch up the gloss and minimize defects. Luckily Aston/Jaguar paint is pretty soft so I was able to get some pretty decent correction as well. The car has been detailed previously, and had the dealer installed holograms and buffer trails, coupled with the usual wash induced swirling. In full sun it was easily visible, as evident by the before shots. Note the buffer trails in the driver's side door. I wish I had a larger budget to work with, as this beautiful car would be a standout with a proper multi stage correction. Abe also wanted to have the leather on the interior cleaned and conditioned as well. The inside of this thing is literally ALL leather, I'm not exaggerating when I say I think the only surfaces NOT swathed in fine leather are made of glass or billet aluminum. Even the female end of the seat belts are wrapped in leather, something I've never seen before.:buttrock



I was semi pressed for time as I didn't get started until close to 3pm, so no during or 50/50 shots this time.

And some interior shots. Yes I know the floormats are still dirty, but I was instructed just to hit the leather.

Looks awesome! Those are beautiful cars, one of my all time favorites. They just ooze class everywhere.
 
Is that Camry getting a detail right next to the DBS? Epic.



Is it just me, or does that black metallic look like the same metallic the hyundai and fiat 500 had?
 
Thanks guys, I wasn't able to go full bore with the correction, so I wanted to amp up the gloss as much as possible. I may go back to the shop today and try to get some sun shots, as I did get a surprising amount of correction. The ticket is firm pressure, semi high speed, and very slow pad movement.
