1998 Rolls Royce Silver Spur - quick clean-up

[LuxuryMobile]

This was just a simple wash and quick interior clean up. This is a 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, the color was a dark/navy blue with some flake in it. The owner bought it new and drives it a lot (over 100,000 miles)
It will hopefully be scheduled at a later date for some correction work and more extensive work on the leather.
Beautiful car and so very big.

I’m sure I forgot some products but you get the idea, nothing crazy here just a quick clean up. I did top it with a quick coat of Meg Quik Wax.
I apologize for the terrible quality of the pictures (point and shoot camera) and the lack of before and afters but it was close to 35 degrees during the wash phase. Onto the pictures….

Interior After (Very high quality all around, the wood, the leather, everything )
And yes, that is navy tubing on the cream leather seats to match the exterior paint, very sharp looking.

Exterior After

Dwarfs the work truck which is a 97 Single Cab S-10

Pretty good reflections but still needs correction

Some after shots from inside the bay

Hopefully a project in the near future…

Any comments, questions and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for viewing.

They are such beautiful cars. I'd love to be able to detail one let alone own one, one of these days. Great job.

They are in fact beautiful cars. Driving one would take some getting used to, but I'm sure I could figure it out.

I'd say you put a shine to that one. Nice work

Looks good man. These cars a built with such detail, class and craftmanship and only deserve the same even when being washed. O have to say, you gave it the respect it deserves. Very nice.

Great job on the rollz. What's the story with the viper GTS? Have to ask being my favorite car.

The Viper belongs to the owner of the shop where the RR was at when I worked on it. Looks to be in ok shape. Im sure it could use some work though. I too am a HUGE fan of them as well.

that'll be fun for the full boat! i bet the paint on that thing is thick and quality. working on a high quality canvas is fantastic!

one suggestion - spray the wells with hyperdressing at 4:1, or a product of that ilk. i noticed the chalky rear wells from the inside after shots, unless it is something else going on there.

I agree and I think the flake in the paint will really pop afterwards.

These shots were taken right after I pulled it in the bay and prior to some final touches and interior work. How would you compare the hyperdressing the Meg water based dressing? Ive been using the water based dressing and really like it.

And there's the difference between you pros and a guy like me. I had to back up to see it. Good eye.

OP- Great detail work that glossy finish looks amazing.
