Looks amazing! Wow, I would never let the interior of my car get that dirty. Your pics inspired me to go for a drive!

Adam

 

thanks!

 

no waxing?

 

last step was Menzerna Power Lock.

 

haha - Doesn't take much convincing to get an owner to drive his Aston . . .

Great job Phil!

 

are you claying with just water as lubricant?

 

Beautiful car, it's a shame about that front license plate though
