this `07 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. 550hp of bling..I didn`t get a ride in it yet but hope to next week. I can definitely say it sounds and feels pretty wicked from just moving it around. About 700 miles on the car. This is the first time I`ve gotten to sit or really get close to a brand new Bentley, and all I can say is wow. The entire interior is leather, including the dash, doors, and even the headliner, stitched leather..seat massagers, heated and cooled front and rear seats..wow. The deep lamb`s wool floor mats are unreal. Ok the befores weren`t too bad, not really worth posting so here`s the process. FWIW before you guys comment, the wheel wells had not been dressed yet, nor the spots I missed with leather conditioner at the time of pics :) I wanted to get some before it got too dark.
Exterior:
- wash
- mother`s chrome polish
- nxt insane shine tire spray

-megs quick interior detailer

S65 Ohio car Bentley FL. I`m very pleased with the results of my use of f-seal on the last few vehicles I`ve done. The owner said the bentley looks better than day 1 from the dealer (had some light swirling and lacked wetness/gloss) so I`m glad he`s pleased. I`m thinking of topping with a coat of cg5050 just for bling factor later this week.
Funny thing happened 2 days after I detailed it..the car was at the bentley dealership and their detailer saw it and said to the owner MAN does it look good..thinking it was still his work from a month ago when the car was sold, hehe...the owner said, yeah - I just had it detailed and had all the swirl marks removed the car was delivered with! :sign Apparently upon further investigation, he had originally clayed it (at least he did that) and used meg`s cleaner wax..:cry: Not to be a detail snob but couldn`t ya use something just a little bit nicer for a brand new bentley!? Am I nuts? LOL.

Lightman- Thanks for posting this one! How hard was the clear on it? I`m guessing "not too" if the OCP cleaned up the marring.

Nursing home chicks will be all over you. ...but you gotta like the details - even if the concept is old school.

Unreal. So lucky! Btw it looks great.
Nice job and car. I love how they blend new technology with the old school interior look.

Seriously, what`d you expect otherwise from this price category?
Luckily, this car looks far more balanced than its 2-door counterpart. More visual length at the rear helps to hide the poor aesthetic proportions of the front wheel drive architecture.
Unfortunately, the standard Audi/VW gauges, control panels, steering wheel, even the ugly shift paddles invaded the interior. The classic vent flutes help a bit but even they are plastic now... And the car inherited (oh, how surprising...) the Phaeton`s armrest flaws too. The armrest on the driver`s door is in the perfect height, yet a bit too far outwards. The middle console armrest rest are perfect in lateral distance, but sit too low. We were trying to imagine/sketch the morphological proportions of the creature that fits into this driving environment perfectly at the car`s press introduction (actually it was the Continental`s) - and it was quite funny. :D
How was the paint?

Car looks amazing! However, one thing I did notice from the 1st pic was that the wheelwell looks a bit dirty though.
