Black Bentley Flying Spur

This car was in dire need of a good polishing. Obviously some hack detailer got a hold of the car in the past and left buffer trails on every single panel, so it was my job to get rid of them for good. The front was covered in bugs which began to etch into the paint, but luckily I was able to compound out the defects.

The paint is absolutely incredible on this car. Probably the nicest paint I have ever worked on. It had absolutely no orange peel whatsoever and the paint is just so deep.

I decided to go the Zaino route on this car because the owner wanted something that would last for quite a while.

My Process :

Washed exterior, cleaned wheels and tires

Clay bar treatment

Rewashed

Buffed complete exterior with SIP X 2 using a medium cut foam pad

Buffed complete exterior with 106ff/FP II mixture X 2 using a foam finishing pad

IPA wipedown

Hand application of ZAIO

Hand application of Z5 Pro

Hand application of Z2 Pro

Z8 Wipedown

Wheels were treated with ZAIO and Zaino CS

Exterior glass received ZAIO

Super Blue dressing on tires and wheel wells

It was the end of the day when I took the after pictures, so I was unable to take any good full sun shots.

Those cars are just incredible. Zero orange peel, top notch materials on every interior surface and a V12 under the hood. Your work certainly does it justice.
