Mastering the Art of Detailing Your Aston Martin DB11 

The Aston Martin DB11 is more than a car—it’s a masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship. Its sleek lines, carbon-fiber accents, and deep metallic paint demand careful attention and precision when detailing. Keeping your DB11 flawless requires not just regular washing but a thoughtful approach that respects its luxury engineering. 

Attention to the Wheels 

• Performance wheels need delicate care: The DB11’s low-profile tires and lightweight alloys can be scratched easily. 

• Use a dedicated alloy wheel cleaner and a soft brush to remove brake dust without marring the surface. 

• Check lug nuts and inner barrels; dirt often hides in these overlooked areas. 

• Finish with a high-quality tire dressing to enhance the contrast between the rims and tires. 

Pro tip: Always clean wheels first to prevent brake dust from landing on freshly washed bodywork. 

Exterior Wash with Precision 

• Begin with a gentle foam pre-soak to lift dirt without abrasion. 

• Use a microfiber wash mitt and the two-bucket method to protect the paint. 

• Be mindful of carbon fiber spoilers and mirror caps—these areas need extra care to avoid streaks or scratches. 

Key insight: The DB11’s curves and intricate detailing demand patience; rushing increases the risk of swirl marks. 

Drying and Spot Removal 

• A soft microfiber towel or air blower is essential for drying. 

• Focus on crevices around badges, headlights, and door handles where water collects. 

• Inspect panels under good lighting to remove any lingering water spots immediately. 

Pro tip: Dark metallic paint shows every imperfection, so meticulous drying is just as important as washing. 

Paint Protection and Enhancement 

• For lasting gloss, apply a ceramic coating designed for high-end automotive paint. 

• Consider a light polish before coating to remove minor swirls or marring from previous washes. 

• Avoid generic waxes; luxury finishes benefit from specialized products that enhance depth and color richness. 

Pro tip: Protective coatings not only improve aesthetics but also make future washes safer and faster. 

Interior Care for the DB11 

• Leather surfaces: Use a pH-neutral leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain softness and prevent cracking. 

• Cabin fabrics and Alcantara: Use gentle, tailored cleaning products—avoid harsh chemicals. 

• Vacuum carpets, mats, and under seats, and wipe all hard surfaces with a soft microfiber towel. 

• Pay attention to controls, touchscreens, and metal trim, which can easily show fingerprints. 

Pro tip: A well-maintained interior preserves the luxury experience and resale value of your DB11.
