This is Day 9 of 9 days of non-stop detailing. The Finale. We have here a Bently Continental GT. A monstrous car with a monstrous W12 Twin Turbo engine. The Car is almost "new" as it just came back from a paint job. With not much damages and a very glossy finish.

From a distance you can see that the car is clean and shiny like new but when we look closer we found some minor damages.

The grills were fully oxidized chrome grills were beyond repair, we tried every possible polishing and products but it still cannot be reversed.

We moved on to a surface inspection. Light swirls spotted.

More light swirls spotted on the side fender.

Light swirls on side door panels,

This is how you pop the hood on a Bently.

Wolf under a sheeps clothing. The engine way rather clean but we still detailed all the edges.There were some grease here and there, some dust and dead bugs.


We first washed the car. And we do mean a detailed wash. Areas like this were not neglected.

The engine was detailed to perfection. Everything hard to reach area was clean with just a sistema 0.02 soft bristle tooth brush and a cotton bud.

We moved on to the surface correction after the engine was finished off with a layer of protectant. Under a high powered LED after correction swirls no longer visible.

Another shot from the same panel just to be sure.

No visible swirl on the hood. Notice the slight blur on the hood, it is the smudge mark from the wiping.

We treated the glass with a dedicated Glass Coating from WetShine.net called the WetShine Prizm.


And the Final Results as the gloss and shine after correction and Optimum Coating.

I might have a Rolls, a Rapide, a F430 and a LP700 coming up but we shall see, u know i doubt shop based detailers would have the owners themself calling them up and asking them to come. Or im guessing those false claims were so off course they are face palming the claimers back hahahaha:stupid:

Amazing work as always. As mentioned by some, the chrome grill would have given it the extra 'bling' factor hehe keep them coming bro!

I tried so hard to restore the chrome, to the extend of removing the entire grill from the car. but still its not oxidation, its the chrome that is faded.

yeah..that's my biggest challenge too when it comes to chrome. Hard to restore when it has reached to that state.

some people claim alot but when it cant be done they hide it. I choose to expose that i cant restore it to share with the readers here that, one shall not simply abandon the chrome or else it will be too late for even detailers like us to restore.

Hey people,
I'm thinking of modding the exhaust of my Telstar. I've asked for quotes and for 2 bullets, 2.5" piping and muffler is about RM550. is that a good price? I'm doing it at puchong. If I want to change the extractor, I 'only' need to add RM150. Good deal?

Another question is. How big a difference will the exhaust mod make to my:
1) power/torque
2) fuel consumption?
The most important thing i'm looking for is actually better fuel consumption. Is the exhaust mod worth it...
