    This job was carried out for a customer who was looking for a Swissvax detail. Also wanting certain scratches removed or dulled down.

    Car as i turned up:

    Some of the stratches

    Started by rinsing the car to remove any loose dirt/dust then cleaned the alloys, tyres, arches and engine bay with APC/Wheel cleaner:

    Rinsed the areas worked on then Snowfoamed the car:

    Rinsed again the washed with Swissvax Car Bath:

    then some spot areas worked with Iron Cut and again rinsed, then washed again, rinsed and dried with car dryer from carwashnwax.

    At this point the engine bay was treated to Swissvax Motorshine:

    Then onto the correction.....

    some swirled pics:

    Took paint depth readings averaging:

    So I used the following products:
    Silverline rotary
    Kestral DA
    Chemical Guy Hex Pads (white/orange/black/red)
    3M FCP, Ultrafina
    Menz Powergloss, Power Finish, Final Finish
    Megs 105/205
    Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro

    Each panel was treated differently as each panel reacted different to each product and there was not a consitant combination over the whole car, but was definately the most challenging correction to date...

    50/50 during correction:

    corrected:

    once the correction was completed, then applied Swissvax Cleaner Fluid to paintwork and alloys, then buffed off then on the paint work applied Swissvax Crystal Rock and Autobahn to the alloys and Pneu to the tyres:

    At this point i finished for the day leaving the Crystal rock to cure over night.

    Back the next morning, and removed the cured Crystal Rock and Autobahn, left to air for 15 mins then applied the second coat of Crystal Rock to the paint work and left again. whilst curing I cleaned the exhaust tail pipes with Swissvax Metal Polish and ultrafine steel wool:

    Any plastic trim on the exterior was treated with Swissvax Nano Express, the rubbers round the windows and door seales treated to Swissvax Seal Feed, the windows treated to Swissvax Crystal.

    Interior was treated with Swissvax leather cleaner and Alcanta cleaner inc seats, door cards, dash, then protected with 303 Fabric Protectant. hoovered out and Swissvax Mirage applied to door shuts and carbon fibre inside the car. The metal door plates treated with Brillant products and all hoovered out.

    What a spectacular car! Great turnaround on the finish. Thanks for sharing pics of an awesome detail. The levelness of the finish(absence of orange peal) is a rarity now a days. Especially with the new zero VOC paint regulations. Beautiful Job!

    If I may... To me, a Bentley without wood on the dash just doesnt click. At least some Piano black... I am not fan of carbon fiber for use as dash trim (I am probably going to get blasted here). Maybe I am too old school.
