`04 Rolls Royce Phantom detail

[1 Clean WS6]

Hey all!! I hope life is treating everyone well.



Today I got to work on this stunning piece of automotive art. While definitely not my particular taste in rides, I could not help but appreciate the level of luxury, refinement and technology this big RR offered. The paint was simply as flat as a mirror and the build quality was nothing short of amazing. The interior had every bell, light and gizmo you could possibly think of and was wrapped in fine leather and exotic wood. Under the hood is a 6.75L V12 rated at 453hp and 531ft-lbs capable of moving this 5,500 pound beast to 60mph in just 5.7 seconds!!



This particular Phantom is a two owner and shows a bit over 22K on the odo. It did show some moderate marring, however, the paint was relatively soft and corrected quite nicely. Below is a description of the process and products used for this detail. Please pardon the bit of pollen in some of the pics.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:

Excellent work as always, Mike. :)



I have one to wax tomorrow, same one I`ve been taking care of since it was new. I definitely agree with you-not my style of car, but the fit, finish and choice of materials is exceptional.

Very nice, the black looks deep. :)
