Detailer's Domain: Bentley Flying Spur - Massive paint correction

*phil@detailersdomain* · 11-06-2009, 9:01 PM

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!

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
