Bentley Continental 2016 - Wash, Decontaminate, Machine Polish & Ceramic Coating - RUINED PAINTWORK

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I hope you all enjoy this video! The trashed paintwork responded so well to this major 2 stage paint correction 👌🏼 Enjoy 👊🏼

[@ritadevi3965]

I love your video 😍😍

[@mazda_rt24-p]

what should I do for water spots on the window that don't wash off? Do I need to polish it somehow? plz respond 👋

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Either a water spot remover such as Labocosmetica Energo or Chemical Guys Water Spor remover. Alternatively, Carpro Ceriglass glass polish

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Rita! 👍🏼

[@chris_0018]

Did you measure the clearcoat after polishing the car? How much clearcoat is left?

[@StaufferGarage]

Well done on clearing up that paint! Looked like it was neglected and drivin through the car wash for a very long time lol

[@mazda_rt24-p]

so I was right, drive through car washes do mess with the paint?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks man, really appreciate it. It’s such a shame that people don’t realise how much damage they can do!

A totally amazing detail Nick. Quite surprising how much damage was done in 6 years. I'm sure the Bentley looks better now than when brand new. Fantastic :-)

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Andrew. The car has probably only had 20 washes in those 6 years as well, so quite bad!

Yet another great video. Beautiful car to detail , albeit a higher level of difficulty due to that convertible top and black paint. WTG Harper

Such a great video on teh Bentley Continental Convertible,got a wuestion,how do i make carpet lines,has been steam cleaned and extracted,i cant order anything since i got aton of orders to collect,whats your tip?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks David 👍🏼 Carpets lines are really straight forward. It depends what matts you have, but they need to has a pile, as some mats won’t do it such as some Mercedes mats. The best way I have found is to clean and mat and whilst it’s still slightly damp run a brush one way down the mat then do the same but up the mat, like you’re mowing the lawn ha

[@md-detailing]

@@HarpersCarDetailing will try it Harper!😀

[@greymark420]

Nick could i use Bilt Hamber Korrosol on both my paintwork and wheels to remove grim. Or would you suggest a citric degreaser. I don't have access to a pressure washer, having to rely on a garden hose. Just wanted something to remove the grim from my paintwork and wheels before a contact wash.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It won’t remove grime, as it specifically remover ferrous material I.e. brake dust. Citrus degreaser will remove grime and Korrosol will remove embedded iron contaminants 👍🏼

[@greymark420]

@@HarpersCarDetailing Thank you Nick. Can you recommend a good degreaser.

[@Scotthutch179]

Amazing job. But just one question. Did you uses some soft top protector?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Scott 👍🏼 No, the car is kept in a garage and only taken out in nice weather

[@OnlyEmet]

I’m afraid not. Hopefully they will still sell them. Thanks a lot 👊🏼 I hope you enjoy the videos!

[@MrKean99]

Great video mate. Random question but im trying to figure out as much as i can before i go self employed. Do all houses have the same type of hose fitting/hoselock? And do you bring your own hose or use theirs?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks 👍🏼 They should do in the UK. I would take my own tap connector though as you can’t always rely on them having one 👍🏼 I have my own expandable hose so it’s easy to store and drain the water

[@ajc2100]

Hi @HarpersCarDetailing. Great video and great results as always ;) I've been to see a 2019 Continental GT with minor swirling. Would you say Bentley paint is hard, or do you feel it would respond to Koch Chemie F6 with the matching fine foam pad? I've not worked on a Bentley before, and curious the level of improvement I could expect without cutting. Thanks!

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi Alan, newer models and considerably softer, so F6 should hopefully remove and finish down quite well. I use lake country orange (polishing pad) and either Sonax Perfext Finish or Cartec 9000 as a single stage 👍🏼

[@ajc2100]

@@HarpersCarDetailing Thank you, it's a 2019 car so sounds like it might respond well. Much appreciated

[@mattiaiezzi9381]

Hi Nick. When applying an iron remover do you usually spray it on the whole car or only on the lower sections (eg. lower than the windows line)?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi Mattia, Usually start with the lower sections and back as that’s where the majority collects. You can either see or feel the paint to determine where else needs spraying. I’ll spray the bonnet and the roof as well 👍🏼

It really surprises me that these people spend a lot of money on a beautiful car like a Bentley and choose to take it to a cheap car wash instead of having it professional cleaned. I wouldn't use those cheap car washes if they were free. You've done an amazing job to make it look decent again 👏👍

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I agree however if you were none the wiser you wouldn’t think that a hand car wash could do so much damage, But you’ve got to think how many cars have they washed in a day with the same wash mitts and towels!
