Car Detailing for Aston Martin DBS / Vanquish

Detailing your Aston Martin DBS / Vanquish

The DBS and Vanquish are the carbon-bodied flagships, and paint over carbon fibre panels wants light pressure and a fine pad rather than a heavy correction. We polish carefully, coat the paint and coat the exposed carbon aero so it never yellows. The Alcantara headliner and seats get a suede-safe cleaner, the Volante roof gets a fabric treatment, the ceramic brakes get a soft brush and the splitter is checked for scrapes before anything starts.

What we watch for on a DBS / Vanquish

• The Vanquish and DBS Superleggera have carbon fibre body panels under the paint and exposed carbon aero; we polish with light pressure and coat the exposed weave against yellowing
• Volante fabric roofs need a fabric cleaner and a water-repellent treatment, and the top must be dry before stowing
• Alcantara seats, headliner and steering wheel darken with hand oils; a microfibre-specific cleaner and a soft brush restore the nap
• The ceramic brakes on these cars dust lightly but the dust still bonds to the wheel finish; a soft brush for the wheels and a neutral cleaner for the calipers
• The deep front splitter on the DBS and Vanquish scrapes on garage ramps; we inspect it for scuffs before polishing and talk about protection film for the nose

Exotics: slow, careful, and in the garage

Exotics deserve a methodical approach: low panels, carbon, Alcantara and thin or specialty paint all mean no shortcuts. We work at your garage or storage location, at your pace.
