Here we have a 2007 Bentley GT that was in a front end collision and brought to my friends auto body shop. The hood, bumper, and two quarter panels were replaced and repainted. Unfortunately, the rest of the car was in horrific shape and after painting the panels the difference in appearance was very apparent. When getting high end cars like this, my friend calls me in to work some magic. Originally my game plan was to do a finishing polish on the whole car and bring out the shine but after my initial inspection and a test spot it was clear this car needed a compound and finishing polish.

To begin, the car was soaped with megs hyper wash
Wheels were cleaned thoroughly
Engine Bay cleaned with PA Engine, which is just so easy to use. One of my favorite products by PA.
Paint was then measured in various spots. Anything below 100 I needed to trend very lightly. Readings were normally around 125 so I have plenty to work with. As you can see below, along the curved panels there was less clear which I believe is from previous detailers going back and forth on the curvature.
After measuring the paint, I got sidetracked because I was excited to try bellaclean on the interior. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking on this one. Grabbed a quick 50/50 as I was in a rush.
Ok, back to the paint. What can I say, it was hammered.
Passanger rear quarter panel
Drivers rear quarter panel
Passenger Door you can clearly see the holograms and swirls.
Rids were also apparent
Drivers mirror
Hood-- the body shop began to compound but I asked them to stop and allow me to do it.
Again, I was in a rush but let's move on to some 50/50's and some afters from the before's above.
Hood after compound only.
Mirror after compound only.
Passenger Door after compound only.

Trunk 50/50
Before I move onto the final sun shots, here are some pictures of master compound and final polish spread around. So easy to use its unbelievable.
Sun shots, not exactly glamour shots in a nice area. I was rushing to get the car done as the owner pulled up so please excuse the bodyshop background.
Hope you all enjoyed the pictures!
