this '07 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. 550hp of bling..I didn't get a ride in it yet but hope to next week. I can definitely say it sounds and feels pretty wicked from just moving it around. About 700 miles on the car. This is the first time I've gotten to sit or really get close to a brand new Bentley, and all I can say is wow. The entire interior is leather, including the dash, doors, and even the headliner, stitched leather..seat massagers, heated and cooled front and rear seats..wow. The deep lamb's wool floor mats are unreal. Ok the befores weren't too bad, not really worth posting so here's the process. FWIW before you guys comment, the wheel wells had not been dressed yet, nor the spots I missed with leather conditioner at the time of pics :) I wanted to get some before it got too dark.



Exterior:

- wash

- mother's chrome polish

- nxt insane shine tire spray

- plexus on clear bra and tail lights

S65 Ohio car Bentley FL. I'm very pleased with the results of my use of f-seal on the last few vehicles I've done. The owner said the bentley looks better than day 1 from the dealer (had some light swirling and lacked wetness/gloss) so I'm glad he's pleased. I'm thinking of topping with a coat of cg5050 just for bling factor later this week.



Funny thing happened 2 days after I detailed it..the car was at the bentley dealership and their detailer saw it and said to the owner MAN does it look good..thinking it was still his work from a month ago when the car was sold, hehe...the owner said, yeah - I just had it detailed and had all the swirl marks removed the car was delivered with! :sign Apparently upon further investigation, he had originally clayed it (at least he did that) and used meg's cleaner wax..:cry: Not to be a detail snob but couldn't ya use something just a little bit nicer for a brand new bentley!? Am I nuts? LOL.
 
Lightman- Thanks for posting this one! How hard was the clear on it? I'm guessing "not too" if the OCP cleaned up the marring.
 
Nice job and car. I love how they blend new technology with the old school interior look.

Seriously, what'd you expect otherwise from this price category?



Luckily, this car looks far more balanced than its 2-door counterpart. More visual length at the rear helps to hide the poor aesthetic proportions of the front wheel drive architecture.



Unfortunately, the standard Audi/VW gauges, control panels, steering wheel, even the ugly shift paddles invaded the interior. The classic vent flutes help a bit but even they are plastic now... And the car inherited (oh, how surprising...) the Phaeton's armrest flaws too. The armrest on the driver's door is in the perfect height, yet a bit too far outwards. The middle console armrest rest are perfect in lateral distance, but sit too low. We were trying to imagine/sketch the morphological proportions of the creature that fits into this driving environment perfectly at the car's press introduction (actually it was the Continental's) - and it was quite funny. :D



How was the paint?
 
Car looks amazing! However, one thing I did notice from the 1st pic was that the wheelwell looks a bit dirty though.
 
Nice work. Beautiful car inside and out. Never realized how plush the carpeting and mats were! Looks like mink!
