Darren-B Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 In the very little spare time I have after working full time & 1/2, & modding the zed I do a bit of detailing on cars of friends & family. I don`t normally post about it, but this one is a little special. So the car arrived today after I had the zed SC install neigh on complete. Zed has been demoted to the drive & the Red beauty into the Garage for stage 1, the interior. Had to go in at an angle as I built my spray room as big as I could to allow the Zed to still fit in the garage, The Aston is 300mm odd longer The car is relatively low milage but the leather hasn`t been to well looked after by the previous owner, it`s a little dirty & has some minor scuffs &creases So done the initial clean & condition tonight & ended up with this The dull door handles were bothering me so I had to polish them & the speaker surrounds Hopefully I`ll get a chance for the second clean tomorrow & re-colouring on the weekend.

ChrisS Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Poor show not finishing it. Anyone would think you are busy at the moment. Very nice If they will swop with you for the Wales meet,we might have to make an exception to the rule. Love the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My dads mate started his up in his garage and it was rather exciting to say the least! I just about made a mess of my pants and not in a scared way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 So after spending about 14hours on the car here are the final results, unfortunately the pictures give it no justice The cleaned & lightly recoloured seats & trims that I forgot to take pictures of after woulds I`ll try & get some on the weekend The exterior, gave her a quick wash in the rain then backed into the garage for the detail The paint on the car is beautiful, completely flat polished, smooth as glass But there were a few minor defects, light scratches all over as a result of previous poor cleaning techniques & quite clearly things being placed on the bootlid . So I got to work by using Megs paint cleaner on the entire car to get rid of all the previous waxes etc, then went about repairing some of the light scratches, tried some megs ultra finishing polish, which pretty much did the job on most of the damage & used 3m ultra fina blue on some of the slightly worse areas, this resulted in the car having virtually zero imperfections & looking like this So a further light polish with megs machine glaze & a top coat of wax & ended up with this result After having the car for 10 days or so & having the opportunity to drive it last Sunday, I have fallen in love with it, not just the looks but the way it drives & how special it feels when your inside. Not to mention the noise when you get on the throttle I`ll be sure to buy one just as soon as my numbers come up on the Lotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
