Wow! It looks like I`ll be posting this in between some of your posts, but let me be the first to say that you have stepped up your game BIG TIME! Top-tier cars and top-tier results. Barry, you`re definitely an inspiration, homeboy! I`m guessing this will be the first great thread of 2011. Congrats! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Once again, thanks for looking.

Barry,

That is some Rock Solid work! Love the wheel & Exhaust tip turn around especially.

If I may, I would get some black electrical tape and cover the metal bale on the brush. I did it to mine to avoid a slip and scratch.

Great work!

Jeff

**Audiguru** · 01-20-2011, 09:40 PM

**imported_broker99** · 01-20-2011, 10:06 PM

Thanks Cos.
Before I started I made sure to look at the Bentleys` that you and Dave (Street Dreams) did to get some pointers.

Thanks Jeff.
I was very happy with the way the Opt. Metal Polish performed on the wheels and tips.
Not sure what you are talking about with the metal bail and brush though.

Thanks Mo, but unfortunately, it wasn`t my driveway. This was the customer`s house.

Thank you Chad.
It was definitely more fun the SUV`s that I have been doing.

**Gimlet** · 01-20-2011, 10:14 PM

Wow! Turned out great as always, Barry. I got to say that I am not a fan the silver outside with a red interior....just looks awkward to me. And the wheels aren`t the sharpest. But its still a nice Bentley. Great job!

**Puckman** · 01-20-2011, 10:54 PM

Beautiful work, Barry. You can really see the intense level of shine in some of those after shots!

There is a Metal holder that keeps the bristles in the brush. I am talking about the swissvax style brush. I wrap electrical tape around those to keep them from scratching the surface you are cleaning. Expecially important if you are going into spokes so the side does not rub metal to metal. I also run the tape a wrap or two into the bristles to stiffen them up a bit.

Excellent job in the car. The owner must have been floored.

Have a nice weekend-It is snowing like crazy here this morning. my 10 minute drive to work too over an hour a 5:30AM :banghead:
