Invisible Touch Detailing Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, Here we have a Bentley Continental Flying Spur recently brought to Invisible Touch Detailing. With the owner having recently purchased the vehicle, he was keen for it to be inspected and receive various treatments to bring out its true potential. This was the vehicle on arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible Touch Detailing Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 The vehicle was in reasonable condition, but could be enhanced in many ways. A quick few shots of the paintwork in sunlight which showed swirls and was lacking depth and clarity The first task was the engine bay. Not wanting to get too much water within certain areas, this machine was used which is attached to an airline. The chosen product was APC mixed with warm water. The attached airline offers a controllable jet of air mixed with the solution to deeply cleanse heavily soiled areas in a safe way, using minimal water in the process. Fine brushes were then used to tackle more stubborn areas and then wiped dry. Once degreased, the engine bay will be returned to later in the detail. The wheels were cleaned with Bilberry and tyres with APC All door/boot/fuel shuts were then cleaned with APC. The vehicle was then jetwashed and snowfoamed Left to dwell and then rinsed After being washed via 2 bucket method, it was then clayed to remove bonded contamination, washed again and taken inside to be dried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Touch Detailing Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Once all polishing was complete i returned to the engine bay. Aerospace 303 was applied to a wet surface and allowed to dry naturally At this stage the rusted front number plate screws were removed and replaced as the vehicle could not leave with screws like this! Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was then applied to prepare the paint to receive 2 applications of Best of Show Wax The interior was dusted, hoovered, glass polished and Gliptone leather conditioner applied Endurance Gel applied to the tyres and sealant applied to the wheels The exhausts were polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Touch Detailing Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You certainly can Z8 is a lovely product, just make sure it is applied 1 panel at a time and buffed well, even go back once the whole car is complete and buff again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parthiban Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Stunning work as always, people always say you can't do much with silvery colours but that's quite a transformation! That was very unloved and then bought back from the abyss, lovely work as usual Didn't look too bad originally did it, that's what all of our cars look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
