2012 Maserati Gran Turismo Car Detailing
We started with we a full decontamination car wash. After this initial wash, we worked on iron removal then removed the tar and other surface residue with chemical cleaners on the entire vehicle.
Spot polishes on various areas of the vehicle were corrected to ensure the paint is in pristine condition before protecting it.
The vehicle was then draped off to protect the paint work from the convertible top coating.
The vehicle was finally protected with one of the finest waxes available, Swissvax OBSSSSD Luxury Carnauba Show Wax. This will enhance the gloss and make the vehicle eaiser to maintain.
We then did all the final details and touch-ups using the best detailing products and techniques to make the final presentation to client in the Auto Obsessed Clean Room.

What was done
Exterior Car Wash
Whether a vehicle is driven everyday or just parked in a garage, dirt and dust contaminants will fall onto the surface. This layer of dirt dulls the appearance of the vehicle. If you contact or rub dirty paint, it can mar or become scratched. Not desirable! We thoroughly washed this vehicle to ensure the contaminants were safely removed. Auto Obsessed detailers use automotive shampoos that are specifically formulated to encapsulate and lift the dirt off the vehicle without marring the paint and glass. Our exterior wash service includes the exterior body, door jambs, engine bay, exhaust, wheels, and wheel wells / fender liners.
Decontamination Car Wash
An initial car wash will not be able to remove contaminants that are bonded or embedded in the paint. With this decontamination stage, iron particles (which appear as small brown rust spots), tar splatter, tree sap, water spots, paint overspray, and other contaminants were removed using a combination of chemicals and or natural/synthetic detailing clay bar. After a decontamination car wash, the paint is ready to be corrected with a polishing stage, or finished with protective film, ceramic coatings, carnauba waxes, or sealants.
Paint Correction
The skilled art of paint correction polishing, sometimes known as “buffing”, is the detailing process that makes the most dramatic change in how a car or truck looks. Blemishes and damage on the paint make a vehicle’s paintwork appear dull, flawed, and aged. Paint correction removes scratches, swirl marks, water spots, etchings, fading, and oxidation. The damaged surface layer is polished away to make the paint smooth and perfectly reflective again. After polishing, this paint was in perfect condition. At this point, the vehicle is ready for paint protection film to be installed, or for a ceramic coating, sealant, or carnauba wax to be applied
Carnauba Wax
We applied a layer of natural carnauba wax as a last step for this detail. Note how the carnauba wax gives the paint a warm glow, with gorgeous gloss and depth of color. Auto Obsessed uses the best car wax, we source boutique-quality carnauba waxes for the most beautiful look and strong durability.
Convertible Top Cleaning and Protection
Cleaning and protecting convertible tops make them easier to maintain and keeps them looking new. We cleaned and applied a protectant to this fabric convertible top. First, a gentle cleaning with products and tools designed for convertible tops. After the top was completely dry, we inspected it to ensure there weren’t any areas that needed further cleaning. Before applying the convertible top treatment, we covered and taped the paint and glass to protect those surfaces from overspray. The protectant will repel water and dirt, which helps prevent damage from the elements and helps prevent mold and mildew. The owner will enjoy 1-2 years of protection before having to reapply.
Finishing Touches
After we have completed the detailing services that were requested, it is time for inspection in the Auto Obsessed Clean Room. The highly lit room with the white walls, floor, and ceiling allows us to inspect under the most unforgiving conditions so we can make any final touches needed. By doing the finishing touches we are confirming your vehicle meets our standards but exceeds yours through completing a full vehicle walkaround, checking all the areas worked on. The finishing touches adds yet another level of detail to your vehicle from dressing the tires to making your vehicle windows crystal clear or ensuring your vehicle’s shine and protection.
