Client contacted me regarding a 2009 Bentley Continental that was just purchased from California and shipped cross country. It was dirty from transport and the owner hadn't really gotten a good look at the paint. We planned for a wash & wax assuming the paint was in good shape.
Pulled the car onto the wash mat and got started with the wheels. Sonax FE and various brushes to get the job done
After a high pressure rinse
Rinsed and then foamed the car to try and strip any old wax. CG Citrus Wash & Gloss, Dawn, and a bit of Optimum Power Clean
The usual 2 bucket wash with CG Citrus Wash Clear. Getting all the tight areas of course
Quickly clayed the car with Pinnacle Ultra Poly clay. I say quickly because very little was picked up.
Car was dried and evaluated under the LED lights. It wasn't pretty. Usual mix of swirls, deeper RIDS, oxidation, etc
A look at the hood
Closer
Contacted the client and discussed the situation. He was disappointed, but ultimately wanted it close to perfect. After some discussion of what we could do, we agreed to a 2 step paint correction. Goal was 90% correction or better all around.
Tried some different things, and eventually settled on a wide variety of polishes, pads and tools to get the job done. Wont reveal all my tricks but the jist was
Makita / Flex / Griots + 3m wool / 3m foam / Megs MF pads + Megs M100
then
Flex / Griots + LC white + Menz SF4000
Results as follows
And it goes a little something like this....
