Hello from a new Bentley owner!
#34
I havnt posted on my thread here for sometime So here are some photos from my detailer after carrying out a 3 stage polish and applied the Gyeon MOHS2 ceramic coating around 3 months ago.
A Few "Before" Pics, pretty horrendous how easily the flat black paint can marr and swirl, Which is why I chose the 9H Gyeon MOHS to provide protection against picking up these marks.

Hi everyone
I have purchased a 2006 Bentley GT Mulliner in triple black + massage seats. (it has taken me around 9 months to find the spec I wanted within my price range)
After some trouble with the dealer not sending the correct paperwork to the DVLA and me not wanting the car until my registration has transferred iv been sat anxiously waiting to collect it. All being well I intend to bring it home this Saturday the 15th.
Iv have ordered some swissvax products to tidy it up once I get it home. Some best of show wax, a wood polish as i noticed some minor scratches to the wood above the gear stick. and some swissvax leather cleaner and milk as there is a little more wear to the drivers seat that I would have liked but hoping to clean it up and make the best of it. I will post up some pics once I get it home and detailed.
I’m also considering the chrome headlight surrounds which I believe came on the 2008+ models, and also interested in doing the exhaust flapper mod providing it wont cause any ecu or engine management issues. I will also need to have an ipod cable installed or possibly some sort of aftermarket bluetooth streaming device?
I intend to use it as my daily driver although I barely cover 4000 miles per year however i'm renowned for giving my cars a hard drive so there will not be any spider webs found on the turbos
I live in Manchester and the car is due a service very soon, its got a full main dealer history so I intend to keep it that way, after a conversation with Bentley Manchester regarding costs and the "Continental Club" for vehicles over 4 years the servicing and maintenance costs don't look any where near as bad as I had initially imagined.
I do also own a Vagcom cable so I will give the car a scan once I get it home so if there are any DTC codes on there I can investigate them myself first. I also noticed the rubber seal around the drivers door looks very worn and cracking, I assume this is from the soft door close feature? looking around I found the part for around £60 so I will probably replace that myself rather than let the dealer do it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on ownership of a similar model? anything I should pay extra attention when running or using the vehicle?
I will be lurking about the forum over the course of the week learning as much as I can. So please say Hi!
Mike

MikeH, your Bentley looks HOT.
Who detailed or "cut" your paint?
I get nervous when it comes to removing clear coat.
Today's waxes do a pretty good job of "filling" and reducing the appearance of swirl marks.
How many kilometers have you put on her? Had any problems or regrets?
