Detailed: 1934 Packard V12, 2005 Bentley Continental GT

I posted my Austin Healey detail several weeks ago, and never got around to post the rest of this guys collection. Here it is...a Packard, a Bentley, and a Lexus.

I didn't bother with before pictures. All three of the cars were in close to perfect condition when I started, just needed a little TLC to bring some life back into the paint.

The Lexus:
Washed with Meguiars Super Soap with Grit Guard and Edge Schmitt
Spot Polished with:
Menzerna SIP Edge Orange Pad 1200-1500RPM Hitachi Rotary
Menzerna Micro Polish Edge Blue Pad PC Speed 4 and 5
Prima Epic
Hyper Dressing on Tires






Now onto the rest. In this picture, the Austin Healey that I had done a few days before, looking pretty sharp. Next up, is the Packard which I was getting ready to work on, with the Bentley in the background.



Packard All Done.

2 Coats of P21s Carnauba Wax
1 Coat of Zymol Carbon (Hand Applied)
White Walls were a PITA to clean...but lots of improvement was made
All Chrome Polished with P21s Metal Polish








My MINI, and MINIature Trailer in Backdrop:


Packard Parking ONLY!!








An Update on my Trailer:
I added a top to it, with two hinges on the front. Now I can lock it up, and not worry about theft.



Now onto the next beauty; a 2005 (2006 maybe??) Bentley Continental GT. WOW!!! My first Bentley detail. This car has perhaps, one of the most maticulate, extravagent interiors, I have ever seen. Not to mention, the exterior is breath taking as well. I absolutely loved working on this one.

ClayBar with Meguiars Blue and Prima Slick
Prima Epic
P21s Carnauba
Chrome Polished with P21s Metal Polish
Tires Dressed with Hyper Dressing
Interior Surfaces Polished with Klasse AIO
Light Cleaning on Interior with Meguiars Quick Interior Detail
Leather Conditioned with Meguiars Leather Conditioner

Some one has way to much money. Everything in that garage looks great. That Packard has incredible depth, which is extra amazing because it is white. Good job.

That's quite a collection, very nice work on your part. I'm sure that Packard was A LOT work but it must have been a cool experiance to get that close to such a nice design.

Is that an oil leak under the Packard?!

I honestly am not sure. He had a bunch of newspapers under it, but I am not sure why.


But, what I found impressive is this guy does all the work on these cars himself, despite his age. When I was there working on the Bentley, he was out in the garage fixing some mechanical issues on the Austin Healey.
