    A client called and asked that I come by and take care of his recently acquired Bentley. The hitch, he lived about 4 hours away. So I loaded up the family and headed out. The plan was to do a two stage correction over two days and spend the third day in his pool!

    Engine, jambs, trim etc cleaned with Exclusive APC at 2:1
    Washed with Exclusive Soap and RG Sheepskin Mitt
    Wheels cleaned with Exclusive Tire and Wheel Cleaner
    Clayed with Exclusive Fine Clay and Exclusive Clay Lube (20:1)
    First stage of polishing with Flex3403 / B&S Yellow / Menz Fast Gloss (UK Variant)
    Second stage of polishing with PC7424XP / B&S Green / Menz Power Finish
    LSP was Exclusive Sealant beta
    Tires dressed with Exclusive Tire Dressing

    Total Time - 14 hours over 2 days

    One dirty, swirled up 05 Bentley

    With " The tightness" great job Ken as I would have needed 20-30hrs to do that car(Due to oldness) what a home your client has.

    Thanks Bob. We could have spent another day chasing the really deep RDS, but we got it to a point where anything left wasn't visible in the sun. Paint was around 90-95% correct. So yes, 20 hours would have been needed to make it perfect. Owner took me for a ride in it. Holy crap. Twin turbo W12, 550hp and 479 ft/lbs of torque. Accelerating up to the speed limits forces you back into the seat. Intoxicating.

    How does your beta sealant hold up against water spotting?
