Here’s a 2007 Bentley Continental GTC (Convertible) in Neptune Blue with 4121 miles. It’s the 2nd vehicle detailed simultaneously with the Aston Martin DB 9 with special thanks to AutoGeek jgh1987 (Josh). This vehicle is powered by a 12 cylinder, twin-turbocharged engine producing 550 HP / 480 TQ. It’s capable of going 0-60 in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph & weighs in at a hefty 5500 lbs!! Loaded with extensive options, this vehicle retails for approximately $225,000. Again, like the Aston Martin, this vehicle lacked professional maintenance so early in its life. Because of the color, marring wasn’t as noticeable as the darker DB 9, however, the interior (being cream colored) required a thorough cleaning and protecting.
Prep:
Wash with Auto Magic (AM) Wash & Wash via Foam Gun
EDGE Grout Sponge (beta tested) & HD GS
AM Magnificent Wheel Cleaner scrubbed via synthetic wash mitt
AM Blue Clay Magic w/ AM Body Shine lube – examined with Cellophane which enhances your ability to feel contamination
Dry-sanded complete exterior
Hand dried with cotton towels
All cracks and crevices blown out with Craftsman 1HP / 12 Gallon Compressor
Gotta love claying a car in the rain!!
After the rain stopped, the owner picked up his Aston Martin & I could finish up his Bentley:
Befores/Taped Off:
The paint was buffed with Menzerna 106ff with a white LC CCS foam pad and then sealed with Einszett Glanz Sealant and 1 coat of Zymol Carbon.
Wheels were slightly corroded, so I decided to have Josh lightly sand them w/ 4000 grit paper. It cleared everything up and then he sealed them with Malco Paint Sealant.
