Ron and I detailed a Bentley and some Ferrari`s today and they were all in rather sad shape.

Especially the Bentley, it is washed by the house help "everyday" and it was just a wreck! I am told it was made for the Queen of England and she refused it. It is the only black Onyx Bentley IN THE WORLD! So I buffed the crap out of it :lmfao

The weather here has been just cruddy, overcast and raining so I couldn`t get any BEFORE pics that really show the paint damage, although I have one while in the garage and if you look hard enough you can see the mistreated surface.

Here`s another BEFORE

Here is a shot AFTER being polished out with Menzerna IP and a LC polishing pad, finished with the Cyclo and IP.

Here is the Bentley hood completed and sealed with OCW

Now for the Ferrari Challenge. Thsi was finished out by Ron with the Cyclo, orange pads and PG then our first time trying Meguiars #80 with the Cyclo, white pads and then topped with OCW.

The Challenge was not as bad as the Bentley but it was still pretty rough. We have one more Ferrari to do plus he is taking delivery of two 430`s (Ferrari`s) soon and we will then detail those and then apply XPEL to all of them.

We apologize for the pictures not being in the daylight but it was dark by the time we finished plus it was dark and overcast all day. Better pictures next time.

He`s the kind of guy who hires people at the company, or just owns the company outright. :D

Man, that`s sweet! You have to be all smiles working on those cars, not to mention it brings in a nice chunk of $$$.

Are you still working on your `how to` DVD series? That would make a nice stocking stuffer!

It was all smiles for the first hour. Then all we could think was what in the heck were these people doing to these cars.

This guy was having a party that night so there was a lot going on. Decorators, caters and some guy running a leaf blower for two hours getting dust all over the place and the cars. Moron. We did not finish till 7pm and not once did any one offer us a drink ( water, soda, beer) nor any food.
We were there all day!

Some times the glamour cars are not that glamorous to do.

Yes, still working on the DVD but it will most likely be ready around Spring 2005, not this year. Sorry :(

Ron and I are going back tomorrow to detail another Ferrari and maybe a Mecerdes. Rained all day today and tomorrow it looks to be beautiful......then Wednesday the rain comes back again :angry
