[Bigpoppa3346]

Hey all, just thought I would post a click and brag of a 2004 Bentley Continental GT I just did today(Sunday). Paint wasn`t too bad, had some light swirls/marring, but nothing too bad. Interior was lightly soiled, a few minor coffee stains and some dirt.

Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner x2 on tires, dressed with Optimum Tire Shine

Gold Class Wash for wheels, polished/waxed with CK`s Vanilla Moose

Vaccum

Steam clean

Woolite/Water 6:1 on all surfaces

I also did a 1955 Cadillac Eldorado on Saturday for the same guy. Really great shape for it`s age and I must have had about 8 or 9 people come up and comment on what a stunning car it is. Paint is far from perfect, but just wanted a quick wash and wax, but I did a little extra.



ONR wash

Vanilla Moose/OP mix 50:50 on a white LC CCS polishing pad

Liquid Souveran

All chrome got Mothers chrome polish



Interior(not pictured) got a vaccum, and all surfaces cleaned with Woolite/Water 6:1.



Total Time: A hair short of 6 hours

That `55 looks absolutely stunning, beautiful vehicle!

[imported_DetailDan]

Looks very nice. Sounds like this was in better shape then the one Im working on. But the owner is out of town, so Ill be spending a few days on it.

03gtmustang: Yeah the car wasn`t too bad, but it did have a few car wash swirls and virtually no beading. Any idea what color the Bentley you are doing is? Shouldn`t be a very difficult detail. I found my work time on the Bentley increasing just because I was gawking so much! Really a beautiful car.



Everyone else: Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Both look great! Nice cars to work on over there!

Its in the drive way right now. :D Its black. My car is black though too, so Im not worried. Just excited to get started! The main thing Im concerned about is the wheels. They are a mess. Doesnt look like they`ve been cleaned in months. Since they are painted aluminum, I cant use my Poorboys Spray and Rinse. So Ill use P21S first, then DP gel. Polish with DP wheel glaze. But Im worried even that wont get them 100% clean. We`ll see.

03gtmustang: Good luck! Be sure to post pics

Great work! Nice first click and brag post too! Two beautiful cars! :goodjob



I remember you are from Buffalo. I`m guessing Hamburg/Orchard Park area judging from the houses and lack of curb.

[Way2SSlow]

Nice work. You sure picked a heck of a pair for your first C&B! :D

Thanks! Actually, I am in Amherst.



Way2SSlow: Yeah, I figured if I was ever going to post pics here it may as well be of these two cars.



Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Dang! My initial guess was Amherst! Should have went with my gut feeling.

I used to live off of Sweet Home past North French. Then I moved to Cheektowaga for 3 years before moving to VA.

audicoupej: That`s cool, didn`t know of any Autopians that live/lived so close to me.
