'06 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

1 Clean WS6

Hey All!!



Hope all is well in Autopia land! Sorry I haven't been posting as much as in past years but with my seventh year of running my business things have exploded out of control for me. Even with a second rig running part time I am still at least three weeks out. Life is good. :waxing: I hope that life finds all of my fellow Autopian buddies in great spirits and good health.



Today I got to play with this beautiful piece of British automotive art. I've never been much of a Bentley fan but this '06 Continental Flying Spur made me reconsider. I loved the smooth, muscular lines and the fact that it has a twin turbo 552 horsepower W-12 under the hood just sealed the deal. It's hard to believe a car of this girth and mass reaching 60mph in five seconds flat and reaching a terminal speed of 190+ but I guess E=MC2 is really true. ;)



The car belongs to a long time client of mine who owns a high end pre-owned luxury dealership. His lot is always full of low mileage exotics and as such is one of the very few dealerships I service. This Bentley is one of his personal rides showing just shy of 17K on the odo. As with all the other "Big B's" I've done the paint is simply incredible. Flat as mirror with ZERO orange peel. This particular car was in good shape with some moderate marring but had some deep rotary induced buffer burn. Below is a description of products and process used for the detail.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:



Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo



Polish with Poorboy's SSR 2.5 using a LC orange pad and my PC set at 5-6.



Polish with Poorboy's SSR 1 using a LC white pad and my PC set at 5-6.



Glaze with ClearKote's RMG using a Meg's 9006 pad and my PC set at 5.



Seal with Poorboy's Natty's Red paste wax by hand with a foam pad.

Absolutely fantastic job. You don't hear much about Poorboy's SSR line anymore, but you definitely made it work for you. Particularly nice job with a PC. :2thumbs:
 
Top notch work!



I agree on the Bentley paint, I did one a few months back and it is 95% orange peel free and polishes up beautifully.
 
WOW!



Talk about flawless paint, that is some beautiful work.



PS: so glad to see others are still using Poorboys with all the Menzerna talk recently! Although I have both, I love my SSRs!
 
The Flying Spur is a sweet machine... you did an excellent job on it. :cool:



There's a Bentley dealership about 6 miles from the Casa de Gonz.. I drive by there and :drool:

Having seen your work in person, I dont doubt that you're staying busy. I bet all the rain last month made it kinda rough. Stay hydrated out there in the heat Mike.



Nice work on the Bentley!
 
I was hoping that the reason we had not heard from you had been due to you being so busy - good to see you are still out there smearing the wax.



The Spur came out wonderfully!



My mom has the CGT in the complimentary color and I have found the paint to be a bear to get right in terms of cleaning up any marring from polishes. It seems to take 5 steps just to get it cleaned up. I guess I should just use the Turtle Wax on it.



Stay in touch man...we all need to get together sometime when things calm down.
