This Maserati Quattroporte came in for a full paint correction and ceramic coating treatment, sporting 45k miles from 2007, the car was in fairly good shape. However, it did unfortunately suffer damage from the automated car washes.

This very attractive metallic black paint definitely benefited from the correction treatment as you will see in the following photos and now should have no problem resisting future marring with the CQuartz application! We also performed paint touch up on the front end rock chips to really complete the exterior of this Maserati.

After 28 hours of work into the vehicle as a whole, prep including IronX and full masking followed by four steps of polishing work brought the paint to perfect condition.

When the car arrived:

Finished full profile photos of the vehicle when the owner was picking it up!

Thanks for looking! Feedback always welcome and appreciated!

Great work Oakes!

Looks like the Aquartz works very well with metallic paints by the depth of the flakes in those after shots.

Hey Nick... thanks once again!

Could not be happier with the results and the professionalism of Oakes. if you live in the NJ/PA area and care enough about your car to be on these forums... you owe it to yourself to get this done. Have never seen the car this shiny and the color so deep!

I sprayed it down today to knock off all the dust/pollen...etc and the water just fell off the paint. Hard to describe but I didn't even need to dry the car... just hit it with the power washer and the water rolled right off.

Thanks again Nick! Oakes Detail.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
