What's the difference between the Vantage black's:
Storm
Carbon

Am I right in thinking the Onyx is not metallic?
Thanks

Storm has a red metallic fleck in it
Carbon has a blue fleck and was/is a BMW colour?
Onyx has a gold fleck in it
I think the only non metallic colour is Jet black but always ready to be corrected.

OFFS Sukh, there is NO requirement for an apostrophe anywhere in your thread title.
No idea on the blacks BTW
your such a big help bins, what would I do without your wisdom and knowledge? No idea on the blacks BTW
Back to my question - onyx looks a bit flat to me but maybe I need to see it more closely in the flesh!

There's Marron black too, with a bronze sort of fleck in it. Looks brilliant when the sun hits it. Storm has a red metallic fleck in it

Carbon black isn't the same black as the BMW version, it's a lot darker. Onyx has a larger metal flake in the paint, though not as big as ceramic grey. As mentioned, storm has a red flake in it and looks the nuts when the sun is on it, however, it's the softest paint of the 3, so you have to take care with it.
I'll get some pics up in a bit

Yep. Of course ive detailed a MF car. I would say that thanks to many of you on here, there is no other detailer outside the dealer network that has/details more Astons than I do.
I love morning frost, one of my all time favourite colours. Its a lot more forgiving than the softer blacks, but like all Astons, once the sanding marks and general swirls and wash marring are polishing out, you can see the flake pop even more and lets face it, that's what makes the aston paintwork look so good. Just look at simons v12.
As for having the DBS detailed once a year, that's a good idea, though if you opt for a sealant to be applied rather than a wax, there is less chance of you putting the marks back in.
Hope that helps a bit.
