2012 Aston Martin Rapide – Envy of the Neighborhood – Ceramic Coating

This is a 2012 Aston Martin Rapide. This car is very rare. My client had always driven corvettes. Here are both of his previous corvettes. This is his first Aston Martin. He absolutely loves it.

Saving my Client Very Important Time

When he first reached out to me, he said his main concern was to get the paint corrected and ceramic coated. He was very curious to understand how ceramic coatings could reduce his time spent cleaning it. His goal at the time was to be able to enjoy driving his 2012 Aston Martin Rapide instead of cleaning it all the time.

His problem was that he just didn’t have the time to attempt to paint correct it and install a ceramic coating.

As I was talking with him, I told him that every vehicles paint is different. I explained that one paint may be extremely soft and susceptible to scratches or marring. While one from another manufacturer could be very durable. Polishing Aston Martin paint can be a very tedious and time consuming process; a lot of patience is required.

Paint Correction, Exterior and Interior Ceramic Coating for this Aston Martin

The fact is that installing a ceramic coating can be even more extreme of a process. The paint first has to be cleaned, decontaminated, and polished (this will remove most scratches). Then, all the unwanted layers are removed: old wax, compound, dealership showroom sprays, and the polish that we used to correct the paint.

This particular car was in pretty good shape overall, but it did have a couple of blemishes in the paint that we had to work out. Unfortunately Aston Martin in notorious for paint issues directly from the factory. Maybe it’s a British thing. (Ha Ha) I’m only kidding.

While this was fixable, it did take a significant amount of time to complete the work.

While I talked with my client he told me he wanted everything protected, including the interior. I told him our interior ceramic protection is the best of all the interior coatings on the market. We have a warranty that covers every possible issue that will ever occur on your interior.

My Client is Now the Envy of his Neighborhood

After we fixed the paint, we installed our 7-year ceramic coating on this Aston Martin. Now, it looks amazing. It has a glass like finish to the paint and the paint is super slick. The interior came out looking better than new and is now protected for 7 years.
