Invisible Touch Detailing - Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Postby InvisibleTouchDetailing » Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:32 pm

Hi,

Here we have a Bentley Continental Flying Spur recently brought to Invisible Touch Detailing. With the owner having recently purchased the vehicle, he was keen for it to be inspected and receive various treatments to bring out its true potential.

This was the vehicle on arrival

The vehicle was in reasonable condition, but could be enhanced in many ways. A quick few shots of the paintwork in sunlight which showed swirls and was lacking depth and clarity

Image

Image

Image

The first task was the engine bay. Not wanting to get too much water within certain areas, this machine was used which is attached to an airline. The chosen product was APC mixed with warm water. The attached airline offers a controllable jet of air mixed with the solution to deeply cleanse heavily soiled areas in a safe way, using minimal water in the process. Fine brushes were then used to tackle more stubborn areas and then wiped dry. Once degreased, the engine bay will be returned to later in the detail.

Image

The wheels were cleaned with Bilberry and tyres with APC

Image

Image

All door/boot/fuel shuts were then cleaned with APC. The vehicle was then jetwashed and snowfoamed

Image

Left to dwell and then rinsed

Image

After being washed via 2 bucket method, it was then clayed to remove bonded contamination, washed again and taken inside to be dried

Image

Paint thickness readings were then taken and a report produced at the customers request of any paintwork the vehicle had received

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

It was decided to carry out a Stage 1 paint enhancement which i performed mixing the following 2 polishes via a makita rotary and a 3M polishing pad

Image

Once all polishing was complete i returned to the engine bay. Aerospace 303 was applied to a wet surface and allowed to dry naturally

Image

At this stage the rusted front number plate screws were removed and replaced as the vehicle could not leave with screws like this!

Image

Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was then applied to prepare the paint to receive 2 applications of Best of Show Wax

Image

Image

The interior was dusted, hoovered, glass polished and Gliptone leather conditioner applied

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Endurance Gel applied to the tyres and sealant applied to the wheels

Image

The exhausts were polished

Image

Tyre pressures were set to the manufacturers recommendations

Image

Finally, Zaino Z8 spray sealant was applied to the paintwork prior to collection

Image

These were the final pictures...
