Paint Correction - 2007 Black Bentley

I thought I'd post some before and after pictures of a minor paint correction on a 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The car had roughly 3000 miles, is garage kept and has developed a moderate case of wash induced marring from having very soft paint. Unfortunately, the car was detailed during all day on and off rain with very high humidity. The worst recipe for black cars! The car itself is roughly $200,000++, has a 550 HP turbocharged 6.0 W12 engine and is hand built. I'd like to thank Lightman for the personal referral and hopefully I will be allowed the honor to continue maintaining it for his close friend. I currently only detail on occasion and have a select few clients that I do work for.

Products/Process:
Auto Magic (AM) Wash & Wax
AM Blue Clay Magic
AM GS-1 with EDGE Yellow Cutting Foam Pad by Rotary
AM BC-2 with EDGE Blue Foam Polishing Pad by Rotary
AM Wet Wax by PC
AM Almost Magic Tire Dressing

Before:




Taped Off:



After AM GS-1. Cut, but not totally clear (yet).



After AM BC-2 & AM Wet Wax:

Lots and Lots of block sanding on perfectly straight panels. The paint was very nice to work with.

Re: Paint Correction - 2007 Black Bentley

The afters look great. The before photos on a new car with such low miles are terrible.
