    This job was done last year, guess it got lost in the mix. We spent a total of 80 hours or so over 7 days on this car. We restored the paint to like new conditions, the before pictures will show you all the burn marks, holograms, swirls, and damage left by the previous detailer. The interior was cleaned up, and the engine was done as well.

    Take a look at what was done -
    Exterior

    - Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes
    - Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
    - Wheel wells were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
    - Wash down and rinsed
    - Door jambs were cleaned up
    - Clayed
    - Dried
    - Paint inspected and measured
    - Wheels polished and protected with Swissvax Autobahn

    - Rubber and Plastics Treated
    - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
    - Exhaust tips cleaned

    amazing work, Phil! I really like leather on British cars, that pretty much lasts forever (way longer then the car itself), unlike some "manufacturers", it barely lasts 3-5 years...

    Great detail. Not too often you come across real leather (as opposed to covered) in an automobile anymore.

    Get job Phil! I usually love a Bentley's interior but that color with all the wood is ugly.
