Brand new 2011 Bentley Continental GTC , has an 12W engine , around 550hp , color Artica white.
This car is in my maintenance program , and as soon as I see it I knew it need some work. I assume the defects are from factory line plus being a white car is tricky sometimes to spot the defects.
I start with the interior. After vacuum , I use 303 aerospace protectant to treat all the leather from doors, console , dash and seats. A 50/50 shot of the rear seats , the left seat was wipe down with 303 the right is not yet.
On the nav screen I use 1ez cockpit premium and a soft microfiber.
On convertible top I use 303 water guard , it dark the cloth a little more plus helps in rainy weather.
The car is garage and weekly wash. In this case I use onr in quick detailer dilution assist by a thick microfiber towel to wipe down the paint.
After quick detailer wipe I claybar the car by using an fine grade claybar and onr in quick detailer dilution. After each ½ panel I inspect the clay and mold it to a clean surface.
The next step was prep for correction by tape chrome trims , rubber trims and badges.
Once the car was prepared for correction I inspect the car with halogen light to get familiar with what type of defects I have to deal with . initial condition of the vehicle:
Pass door
Driver door:
Driver door pic close up
Pass door was chosen for test spot. After I try multiple pad , polish combination the winner was 1 step with mezerna SIP ( super intensive polish) on LC light green cutting pad with flex da. The correction was done in speed 6 and after that few more passes with speed 5 and light /no pressure.
The test spot was wipe down with ipa ( 50/50 alchool and water) and inspected under halogen lights:
Most of the correction was done with main light off and assist by halogen light.
A few after pictures :

Remember the before?
A close up after correction:
The wheels were clean just light dust , a microfiber towel and optimum car wax took care of that. On the tires I use meguiar`s m40 and a soft sponge to apply it.
The front of the car was clear bra , after wash was protected with rejeX apply with a foam applicator pad.
The whole paint was protected with 2 coats of duragloss 105 .
Enjoy the after shots , thank you for made it all the way here:
