Detailer's Domain: Bentley Flying Spur - Massive Paint Correction
As the title states on this one this was one pretty trashed Bentley, for the most part I wasn't expecting anything this bad. The customer wanted it fixed and didn't really mind how long it took or how much. Again we couldn't believe how bad it was, until we saw it in the direct sunlight.
We did the normal prep work, wash, wheels, clay, etc. For the paint correction we enrolled Menzerna Power Gloss Compound with an Uber Yellow Pad, followed by Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green Pad, finally we finished with my favorite Menzerna PO85RD. As a last step we gave it a coat of Swissvax Divine. Enjoy! Products Used: Exterior: Einszett Blitz in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Adam's Gray Clay Bar [/URL]and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube Menzerna Power Gloss Compoune Menzerna Super Intensive Menzerna PO85RD Menzerna Top Inspection Swissvax Divine Einszett Spray Wax Wheels and Tires Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit Tools: Infratech 5300 Fenix TK11 3M Sun Gun Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Flex 3403 Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Let's start with some before shots in the direct sunlight at drop off. Removing Plates Pre soak with Einszett Blitz (bug and tar) Before shot of the wheel Ace Powerstick used to clean up the inner wheels Washing off the Blitz Washing the car Clay Tommy claying the Bentley Wheels all cleaned up Tommy rinsing up the car after the clay After shot of the wash and clay, massive paint correction ahead of us Dan on the Metabo with an Uber Green Pad and SIP 50/50 shots after the 3 steps! Spot checking with the Fenix Then checking the car again outside Finishing out with Menzerna PO85RD Tommy pulling off the masking off the windows and trim Swissvax Divine After shots Looks what's next :crash: |

So when you say he didn't mind how long you had it, nor the cost; does that mean the detailing was much like buying the car - if you have to ask how much it is, you probably can't afford it

Nicely done. How long do you guys take to do a typical polish/wax? I was in NYC this past week and I didn't realize how close you are to the city. Would have passed by to have my 1er cleaned up. The hand wash I usually take it to (which usually does an amazing job) absolutely destroyed it two weeks ago, swirls and holograms all over. Needless to say they won't ever be touching it again
