The car is a 2007 Bentely Azure T and although this seems like an odd place to ask, you never know because I have seen the ultra-wealthy eat at McDonald's with the common folk and met rocket scientists at the local drag strip so I thought I might get lucky here with some detailing advicefor Bentleys on a Titan forum.
I'm particularly interested in the leather, wood trim and carpet on the interior and the metal wheels, tailpipes, emblems and grill as well as the convertible top.
My first inclination was to purchase Bentley's own car care kit but apparently it's not readily available here in the U.S. and quite likely very expensive if I can get it from the dealer since it has their name on it and all so I decided to see what is available retail that is worthy of using on a $350,000.00 automobile.
I believe I am going to use the Raggtop kit on the convertible top since that is the only product the manufacturer of Bentley's tops recommends.
I was considering the Connolly leather care kit for the seats and other interior components since I believe they are the manufacturer of the leather although I can't be sure at this point.
I imagine the carpet is wool but don't know as yet and would appreciate any clues in that regard.
I need to be prepared for some metal polishing but it's been a long time since I polished metal and I am not sure what metal composition the wheels are as yet and haven't looked at any products for that.
As far as the bodywork, I will use the Menzerna polish after a wash and clay and am undecided what to put on as protection afterward but the top coat is not my chief concern right now as there are many acceptable products for that.
Rubber seals will get Aerospace 303 treated and the plastic lenses will get some plexus.
The vehicle only has 2800 miles on it but was recently driven on some salty roads so it is a bit dirty on the exterior however I believe the interior is likely quite clean.
Any suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance for the help.
This video isn't exactly the same car but I imagine the leather is very similar and with all the effort they put into the seats as well as the rest of the vehicle, the least I can do is use the proper products to detail it with.
