1977 Aston Martin Vantage Shines Like A Jewel After Restoration Detail

In 1977 the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was the fastest car in the world, with a top speed of 170 mph. It was a stunning car powered by a hand-built, 6.3-liter V8 producing 310 horsepower and painted 20 coats of lacquer, giving it a deep jewel-like shine. It looks especially good in black, like the one in this video on I Am Detailing's YouTube channel.  

The paint correction is especially satisfying to watch on this car. When the Aston Martin Vantage arrives at the shop, it's covered in a layer of dust and neglect. After masking off the window trim and other chrome parts, the paint is sectioned off based on its thickness and buffed to a high shine.
