As the title states on this one this was one pretty trashed Bentley, for the most part I wasn't expecting anything this bad. The customer wanted it fixed and didn't really mind how long it took or how much. Again we couldn't believe how bad it was, until we saw it in the direct sunlight.

We did the normal prep work, wash, wheels, clay, etc. For the paint correction we enrolled Menzerna Power Gloss Compound with an Uber Yellow Pad, followed by Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with an Uber Green Pad, finally we finished with my favorite Menzerna PO85RD. As a last step we gave it a coat of Swissvax Divine. Enjoy!

Wow... great work as always!!!

lopealle · 11-06-2009, 08:18 PM

i swear i commented on this already lol. but great work the owner should be ashamed of of themselves for letting the car get that way.

tdekany · 11-06-2009, 10:37 PM

Stunning work Phil!!!

jopa489 · 11-06-2009, 11:34 PM

Wow, that was completely trashed. Looked like it was wash/dried with 100 grit sandpaper. Quite the correction though! So much shine and gloss, it looks like a completely different car. Top notch as always guys, very nice!

Gig103 · 11-07-2009, 12:08 AM

That's a super restoration, I bet the owner was thrilled to have their car looking like the $150k+ car it started out life as!

How did it get so bad? My guess was he wanted to keep it clean, so he used crappy car washes. And it looked like hologramsfrom a bad detail job?

Anyway, great work.
