2007 Bentley Continental GT

This is a detail of a 2007 Bentley Continental GT in Diamond Black. Several months ago I was contacted by one of my clients who wanted to give a gift to a friend of his. The gift was that I would detail 3 of the friends cars for him. This is the second of the three.

The Bentley Continental GT is such an amazing automobile. It sports a W12 engine that puts out 552 hp and goes 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph. It does all of this while being truly luxurious.

The car was extremely well cared for by the owner. Garage kept and very well maintained which made the detail pretty easy. I did have some issues with 106ff dusting on me but I ended up adding a drop of Optimum Polish which seem to help some.

Process:

Presoak via foam gun with Eagle One soap and CG CWG
Wash via 2 BM and Megs NXT soap and sheepskin mitt
Clay with Pinnacle Clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube
Interior wiped down with Woolite 6:1
All leather dressed with Pinnacle Leather Conditioner
All interior wood grain polished with Klasse AIO
Polish via Makita 9227 and Sonus white pad with Menzerna 106ff
Spot polish with 4 inch CCS pad
Wheels cleaned with P21s
Tire cleaned with EO Tire Cleaner and dressed with Megs Hot Shine
Engine cleaned with P21S Total Auto Wash
Engine dressed via CD2 and Sonus Total Eclipse
LSP=Pinnacle Souveran
Exterior lenses and headlights polished with 106ff and Megs Plastix
Exhaust polished with Wolfgang Alum Polish
Glass cleaned with Zep Glass Cleaner

Re: 2007 Bentley Continental GT

Nice Job on an awesome car!! It's amazing how fast something that weighs over 5k lbs can be! Great car to drive...

Pat, where did you get the plate covers made? Seems like an excellent idea, bet it saves you alot of time from editing out plates and looks very professional!

Barbed wire license plate frame on a Bentley...

Other than that it's looking great! I'm wondering what's under the cover as well.

The clear was fair. 106ff cleared up most of the marring without any issues except the stupid dusting. I checked the car in full sun and didn't see any holograms so it wasn't as soft as some say.

I will say that the biggest PITA was cleaning the front grille on that thing...
