No Black BMW This Time - Black Aston Martin

[ryandamartini]

I used 83 once. It was a massive dust storm, might have just been the clear on the car, but man did that stuff dust. It did do its job however.

OK Boys and Girls and Car Nuts Everywhere It's Done

I finished up this Aston Martin today and the owner came by the shop to pick up the car. He's a happy camper...very happy...so happy that I'm going to do his Ferrari, Mercedes (don't remember the model but it has 610 Hp), and some other collector cars. And, the word is getting around about my work, so I might make it after all.

Here's some finished pics. My wife thinks it's the sexiest looking car she has ever seen!

The hazy appearance you see is the clear bra installed by the dealer at delivery.

I'm done

I agree with your wife, that is a sexy car! Very nice job man, it's a shame the clear bra though.

Nice job Toto! It does indeed look sexy. Congratulations on getting some more exotics and collector jobs I hope you get many more cars to detail!

 

[2turbos]

A master at work!! Very beautiful work!

 

[Tandis1]

That is looking so good! Can't wait to see the other cars

Awesome work Toto. Trust me once the word travels around a few high end clients you will be swimming in work. That Aston Martin Vantage is sweet. I did one myself and its an awesome car to work on. :righton:

:whs: Like I said in my previous post, I can't look at a black car without thinking about what great work you do. Congrats on impressing the heck out of the client. Great work as always! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing! Any tire shine?

Amazing! Any tire shine?

Yep: put some Michelin Tire Shine after the pics were taken. I wanted to get the car in the sun to check my work and find any wax residue (found some on the clear bra edge of the rear fender).

The Michelin stuff is water based and gives a natural appearance...I don't think they make it any more.

I have some as well Toto. Its not a bad water based dressing. Very nice looking without being glossy.

I picked some up when for $1.99 when Pep Boys was clearing out there Michelin stock. I also got some of their carnuaba QD which is good as well.

I recently got some Nascar Tire Shine at Big Lots (23oz for $3). It looks identical to the Michelin.

Thanks for the info on the Nascar Tire Shine...I've got a Big Lots less than a mile from the house....I'll go pick some up.

Mercedes (don't remember the model but it has 610 Hp

That would be a SLR. That one should be fun!

Amazing work as always Toto. You did the car justice. Well done! It makes me cringe when I see Astons (and other nice cars) around here full of swirls.

About the bra, was the haziness from the bra, or was it the paint that was sealed under it?

The haziness is the bra itself. The bra was installed prior to dealer delivery so the paint was brand new underneath.

I saw three Aston's today at the Annapolis Boat show and all three were trashed. My seven year old told me I should give him my card.
