Aston Martin care should be gentle and thorough rather than obsessive. Regular cleaning protects paint, trim, and hidden areas that deteriorate when road dirt and moisture are left in place.
Dry the brakes and underbody before storage
A short drive after washing helps dry the brakes and reduces surface corrosion and sticking.
Putting the car away wet is one of the easiest ways to create nuisance issues.
Inspect while you clean
Washing is a good time to look for stone damage, staining, split seals, and underbody wear.
Early detection keeps cosmetic fixes and corrosion prevention small rather than structural.
Checklist
- Flush wheel arches and shuts
- Clear drains
- Dry brakes before storage
- Inspect paint chips and lower trim
Frequently asked questions
Can aluminium-bodied Astons still suffer corrosion issues?
Yes. Different materials, fixings, trapped moisture, and neglected hidden areas can all create corrosion-related problems.
