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.

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
