Hi fellow AGO members.
Recently I've been contacted by a new client who's daily driver is a Range Rover. I've scheduled next Saturday to do a quick detail on his very clean daily driver. He has stated that "if all goes well on the rover", we will schedule the following Saturday to spend "more time" on his Aston Martin DB9.
I have always been taught that preparation is the key to success in anything that I do.
I have been studying the body lines of the DB9 this morning and it doesn't appear to be very complex of a job to do concerning the correcting of the paint.
I believe that you can't go into a situation with too much knowledge so the purpose of this thread is to discuss the DB9 in general.
I'd like to hear from folks who have worked on these cars and hear about the characteristics of the paint on them I.E. is it hard paint, soft paint, extremely thin paint, what was the interior like I.E. coated leather or natural leather, are there a lot of carbon fiber interior pieces and do they need any special attention, what products did you use on the paint, interior etc.etc.
While this is an exciting opportunity from a detailer's standpoint, it is just another paint system that needs to first be explored by doing a test section using the least aggressive methods first to get a feel for the paint and put together the best possible approach to correcting it but I thought it would be nice to hear the experiences and opinions of those who have worked on these cars in the past.
This discussion should be open to all who wish to get involved. Thanks, TD
