Bentley Azure - SeaJay's Detailing

[SeaJay's]

This car is from a new customer of mine. He's the president of a successful local auto auction. He has 75 "recondition specialist" that work for him yet he hires and outside detailer to deal with his cars. Certainly not complaining.

He started me out by having me detail his 2013 Escalade. Which I guess I passed his test and he invited me back to have the Bentley done.

This is the first Bentley I've done and I was a little nervous at first. But that faded fast once I started working.

The car is in good shape for the most part however it has been run through a swirl-o-matic several times. So the paint is swirled up pretty bad.

Nice job, really like the Max Wax on the wood trim thing. That's gotta be a good feeling to know this guy skips over his 75 employees and goes for some quality work. And I would have picked something better than a JVC for my Bentley, if I had a Bentley.

Looks much better! for some reason I really enjoy the color of the carpeting.

Yeah I just got the Max Wax and figured I'd use it for the wood trim. It really shined it up nice.

And your right for being a Bentley I think I would have gone with a better system. This guy bought the Bentley used, but even still. $300k car with a cheap sound system? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Great job as always. I wish I had a spot like to work everyday!!!

Wow, what a turnaround! All Bentleys should look like this rops:

If you don't mind me asking, how long did this particular detail take?

The thing I love most about all your interior details, is you seem to love vaccuum lines just as much as I do! I love making patterns, hahaha

Awesome job as usual

Haha, I was just thinking that too. Those vacuum lines look so good. Great work!

Awesome work on the interior.

Thanks!

This detail inside & out took me about 5 hours. I did take my time though. Normally on a car that is this clean to start it probably would have taken me 3-3:30.

On special cars or if I have the time I'll throw in the vacuum lines. Unfortunately I don't do it on every detail. Only on the floor mats since just about every interior detail I get I pressure wash or extract the floor mats. So, I'll throw the lines in them. But other than I don't do it on every detail. Just an extra step that takes up more time.

I love this car. The work isn't that bad either.

DUDE! You're getting a shop soon!!!!!

 

[Optimus Shine]

Strong work

 

[Sicoupe]

Job well done

 

[Regency]

Nice work and the subs are Rocksford Fosgate btw.... The box is cheap though.

 

[BucboyInPa]

Great job,It's funny I to focused on the cheap ass JVC radio,in a Bentley?
Those cigars probably cost more than the radio!

 

[swanicyouth]

That car is awesome. It looked great when you were done. That wood looks perfect.

Why do Bently guys always smoke cigars??? Is that some type of sign if disposable income or something ?

Very nice job on a very nice car! In several years of detailing, I've yet to get my hands on a ragtop (grandparents have a 1969 mercury monterey convertible but it's been sitting in their lot for awhile now...so I haven't got a chance to detail it yet....) in any case, what products did you use for the top? Did it air dry after washing & rinsing? Also, what did you do to the wheels? They look much better...did you polish them with a mothers powerball + metal polish, or just wash them?

Looks beautiful, the paint is super glossy.

Not sure about the striped carpet/mats. They don't look bad, just makes it look busy. How do they look after a bit of foot traffic?
