Massive paint correction on a Bentley Flying Spur

[phil@detailersdomain]

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!

that's just flat out incredible.

how many hours of work and what's the average cost for a detailing of that quality?

[phil@detailersdomain]

thanks, this job took about 14 hours.

how many high end black cars I see with really trashed paint. Most aren't that bad, but it seems that a lot of owners don't know how to care for thier paint... Probably wipe all the pollen off with a dry rag!

And it's amazing how a little love and elbo grease really turns the paint back into a mirror. What did the owner think?

Impressive detail. I love how there is no orange peel.

I wish I could afford some of those cleaning supplies and tools, or to have my car detailed to that level.

I saw a show on National Geographic about a Bentley factory. The paint process is pretty involved, and the guys who paint the cars have to go through 2-3 years of training, or some other long time, to be allowed to paint an actual production car.
