The Reep Yorkshire studio were very lucky to receive this extremely rare Aston Martin Vantage V12 AMR in their studio. The vehicle had a full Carbon Fibre wing, along with Carbon Fibre scoops located on the front bumper. The AMR also featured the iconic lime-green stripe down the centre of the car too. The bonnet vents were also 100% carbon fibre – making this a very precious job for our team in our luxury care studio.
At our studio in Harrogate, North Yorkshire we have designed the room to be as close to perfect as possible for the application of LLumar and Premium Shield’s self-healing Paint Protection Film. The same applies when we’re applying Gtechniq’s Ceramic Sealant onto your car. The environment in which these protectants are applied needs to be as clean and pure as possible!
Back to the Aston. Once it had received a full safe wash, the car was brought into our studio and blow-dried ahead of the film application. After a final inspection was carried out by the detailing team, the car was prepped ready for the first piece of film. Where possible, we try to make sure that each panel on any car is as covered as it possibly can be. With this Aston Martin, it was no different. The bonnet vents were safely removed, and the film was placed over so it would completely wrap underneath for full coverage.
Whilst they were removed, the team took this opportunity to protect these too with LLumar’s film. Each individual vent had a single piece of film applied onto it to defend it against stone chips and anything else which could potentially chip away at it. As the rear spoiler was fully carbon fibre too, this was also removed, and fully coated in PPF.
One of the latest technologies to the market is a windscreen protection from ClearPlex. ClearPlex™ is the first and only optically-clear protection film for windscreens. This revolutionary patented film is multi-layered and hand-coated to ensure optimum strength and durability, for ultra-effective results on the road. ClearPlex™ is thermally fitted to windscreens, forming an invisible bond with the glass and absorbing the impact of standard road hazards, leaving glass in pristine condition, and passengers safe.
Used and approved by NASA, the only approved screen protection for the International Space Station.
Once the whole car had been protected with the various different films, the whole car received some attention from Gtechniq to make sure that absolutely nothing stuck to the film, but at the same time still allowed it to perform as it should!
I think you’ll agree with us when we say that the finished product looks absolutely stunning. Browse the gallery above to see the shots taken throughout the Aston’s journey with us, or view the video below. Subscribe to our YouTube channel
