    One of my top favorite cars to work on...

    Bentley. Nothing screams "I've got mega money" like a Bentley I do this car about once every 6 months. In-between, he just runs it through automatic car washes About 2 months ago, he took it into the Bentley dealer and they decided to buff it for him, so there are some buffer swirls

      Very nice Nick

      Why would he take it to an automatic car wash?


      I sure wouldnt.

        I sure wouldnt.

        He has to have a clean car, everyday. I can't be at his house daily, so he runs it through the car wash
        The good news is that the car has very workable paint. Doesn't take much at all to bring it back to perfection. Barely removes any clear at all.

          B.B.B.B. - Buffed a Big Black Bentley!

          Nice work as always Nick. Some gorgeous reflections going on there.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

              Great work Nick, how long did it take your neighbors to adjust to having such nice cars coming and going?

                    M205 and a rotary on a finishing pad. Topped with Wet Diamond. Had to work the 205 a bit longer than normal, but it produced better results than anything else.

                        Nothing? A Maybach doesn't scream it, it gives out a resounding roar!! Besides, who would buy the cheapest Bentley model anyways? $180,000 starting price? Sheesh, I'll take two. Make it three just for giggles.

                        A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
