Detailer's Domain vs Bentley Turbo R SE #10 of 12

This job was done last year, guess it got lost in the mix. We spent a total of 80 hours or so over 7 days on this car. We restored the paint to like new conditions, the before pictures will show you all the burn marks, holograms, swirls, and damage left by the previous detailer. The interior was cleaned up, and the engine was done as well.

- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up

Beautiful work

I can imagine the work was a PITA. The car has so many fine details -veneer, polished brightwork and leatherwork. I can't believe this car was regularly smoked in

Phil - There is a reason you should be working on unique/ultra high-end cars. Your work speaks for itself.
