Prior to setting out on this Bentley GTC I had in the back of my mind the aim to do a detailed write up with plenty of pictures to a higher scale than normal. When I got there and realised I had no phone signal (no interruptions), a dark car, with light leather, and a soft roof I had the perfect opportunity!

Before Pictures

Roof slightly green and not beading at all:

Engine itself not that bad:

…yet the under side of the bonnet was minging:

Leather has marks on it:

…and with bolsters moved, dirt and debris in there too:

Water marks on door trims:

Interior

To start with I tackled the interior. I started this first as showers were forecast early morning time, so it would be easier to hide inside the car whilst these passed rather than trying to dry a polished car.

First up was cleaning the glass round all the windows, then buff off:

Next trim on doors, dash, centre console etc…:

After this, time to clean the leather:

A shower actually managed to start and stop in the time it took to clean the rear seats!

After the leather it was time to add some bling to the wood trims:

…10 minutes to cure and buff off:

Now to clean the pedals:

Remove the mats and start vacuuming:

Here are before and after pictures of the mats:

Apply Swissvax Leather Milk and allow to soak:

Engine Bay/Shuts

Alloys

First rinse for the alloys:

…before cleaning the inners:

…and the faces:

Exterior

Next step was that roof:

…followed by the attack of the Snowfoam gun:

…and me with wash mitt, bucket with grit guard:

After rinsing off, applying the Swissvax Paint Rubber:

…and another rinse before drying up:

Checking the paint depths:

…and start to complete the machine polishing test area:

Proceed with 3m black pad and Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional:

…being a small car it didn’t take long. Once done, the roof had dried so I applied the protectant:

Now time for the hand detailing aspects:

Alloys waxed with Autobahm Wheel Wax:

Metal polish applied to exhausts:

Finally time for some wax:

…leaving that to cure whilst undertaking some other duties:

Final End Results

Thank you for reading!
