Aston Martin DB12 (Matte Black Finish) Detailing in Rhode Island

A Mobile Detailing Job Built for a Supercar

Luxury Car Detailing was called to detail a stunning matte black Aston Martin at a coastal property in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The client, an auto enthusiast and local resident, requested two major services: a ceramic coating application and a full interior detail. This vehicle wasn’t just a luxury daily driver — it was a precision-built performance car with delicate surfaces that required advanced care and the right product knowledge. Our mobile detailing team came fully equipped to perform the job on-site with zero compromise in quality.

The Vehicle’s Condition

The Aston Martin was in excellent condition overall but needed protection. Being parked frequently near Narragansett’s oceanfront meant the vehicle was exposed to salt air, moisture, UV rays, and sand — all of which accelerate wear and corrosion. The matte black paint, while visually striking, is extremely sensitive and can’t be corrected like standard clear coats.

Inside, the tan leather upholstery had minor buildup from use, with visible dust and oils on the seating surfaces, along with some light grime in the cupholders, dash trim, and door panels.

Our Mobile Detailing Process

Exterior Prep and Ceramic Coating

We started with a safe, matte-specific hand wash to ensure no glossing or uneven finish. Then we performed a full decontamination to remove embedded contaminants:

  • Iron remover to lift unseen brake dust and fallout
  • Clay mitt treatment to smooth out the paint surface
  • Towel-dried using soft edgeless microfiber to avoid streaking

Once the paint was prepped, we applied a matte-safe ceramic coating. This coating offered:

  • Hydrophobic water repellency
  • UV protection against fading
  • Long-term resistance to bird droppings, salt, and acid rain
  • No change in texture or sheen, keeping the satin finish intact

Ceramic coatings for matte paint are more about preservation than enhancement — and our product did just that, adding protection without artificial shine.

Full Interior Detail

After completing the exterior, we turned our attention to the interior, focusing on a deep clean and soft-surface restoration.

Interior steps included:

  • Vacuuming carpets, mats, and under all seating
  • Leather cleaning with a pH-balanced solution
  • Conditioning all seats and bolsters with matte-safe leather balm
  • Deep cleaning of door panels, dash, center console, and display areas
  • Light deodorizing treatment and glass cleaning for total clarity

Extra care was taken with the lighter interior trim to avoid staining or slick finishes. Every button, edge, and air vent was cleaned with soft tools and brushes.

Results and Client Feedback

The transformation was immediate. The client was especially impressed by the rich, even appearance of the matte coating and how clean the interior felt without any heavy scent or oily residue. Every panel, vent, and seam had been addressed. The paint looked completely refreshed, yet still retained the factory satin look — exactly what a proper ceramic job on a matte finish should deliver.

Why Ceramic Coating and Interior Detailing Matter in Narragansett

Vehicles located in Rhode Island’s coastal towns face unique environmental stressors. Ocean air contributes to premature oxidation and rust, while year-round road salt can compromise clear coat and paint integrity. Add sand from beach trips and humidity, and it becomes clear why frequent protection and interior care is essential.

Ceramic coatings add a permanent layer of defense, but they only perform well when applied to properly prepped paint. Paired with full interior detailing, it not only protects your investment but drastically improves comfort and presentation.
