We used the DA and it's still not dialed in all the way, in my eyes, but 100 times better and the client is very happy. Keep in mind, the 20 hours was spent on the whole car and not just the outside. These are special cars that demand this level of attention. I only wish more people realized it and not take their 6 figure cars to the amateur detailers or to the dealer.

My dad will be requesting they pay for a detail and I will get my hands on the car for the first time, which I should have just done in the first place! Sorry for the rant, but detailing is what I do and after being lied to by several employees I am pretty ticked off. For those of you picking up a new car anytime soon, do NOT let the dealer touch it. I thought an am dealership could be trusted but apparently not. 
In the meantime, I forget about the paint when I'm beind the wheel. These cars are a riot.

We just found out yesterday it was an issue with Aston. The tiny swirls and scratches come from the color sanding they do. The DB9 is now at a body shop and will high-speed buffed and we've been assured it will be perfect. I hope so, the car is gorgeous and a lot of fun to work on.

I can enjoy someone's "parked" art.

I don't trust any of the local detailers (that I know of) or body shops, so I polished out all of the flaws myself the other weekend. It was a breeze and the car looks good now.
Need to get V1 mounted and a front bumper plug from Bumperplugs.com and it'll be almost perfect. Only mod this car needs is a stereo upgrade, the Linn 950W system sucks.
