These old Rolls-Royce Cornice/Bentley Continental models look fantastic when they're fully polished and looking like new. I think they're much more distinctive than the Rolls-Royce Dawn Convertible Rolls-Royce builds today.
You’ve done a gorgeous job on this car! Thank you so much for your respectful treatment of an older Rolls. Wish we lived near you, we’d bring the fleet!!
*Dry ice,* wow, instead of hot water high pression. It is impresive to me. Well, I have a 2006 Jaguar S Type, and I feelnlike driving a Rolls Royce here shown. I will clean it deep. Greetings from Santiago, Chile.
I detailed for over 30yrs plus& I'm pretty dam good&I've seen&been around others I seen some dam good detailers I've seen bad detailer I've used great products &used bad detail products but u are on another level I have to give u your props ure a beast &those products your skills man I'm blown away speechless I wish I could come learn from u just amazing I'm speechless
So this car is 25+ years old? Now it looks just like it came out of the factory. Don't know how much this clean cost, but it was worth it. You guys made that car look brand new
The only issue I see here is that with the dirty wax removed from all of those under body surfaces, while it looks great now, it won't for long. That car will begin to deteriorate underneath, unless a new coating of wax is applied to the underside, as it was before the car was delivered to the customer when new. Aside from that issue, the car came out great!
100% right. I've seen cars which have had the wax protection removed. Worst choice ever. Hopefully re-proofed in a clear wax coating. Amazing job otherwise!
Gee, I’m surprised the owner nor these professionals thought of that. Look at the condition the car is in, it’s obviously been a creampuff all its life. The thing probably lives in a climate controlled garage somewhere and I’d be willing to bet probably won’t see much more miles in its lifetime. It’ll be just fine.
@@Nick210 because they’re stupid. It was all done to get a good auction result on Bring A Trailer. And it worked. I’m annoyed at how gullible buyers are
Yeah, maybe it was lanolin based? Either way I agree it was there to protect the underside from rust. But maybe the owner is inclined to have the underside recoated now...with fresh protectant.
I miss detailing cars. Very rewarding to take an older dirty car and transform it into a new car again. I used to use every means at my disposal including Q-tips.
@@ZAGOR64 You are correct, I have never been in a Citroen but I do love the quirkyness of a Citroen. Just saw one last week at a car show believe it or not. I had no idea they had mats this thick and luxurious. I bet your feet feel like they are on a cloud of air!
@@joevanseeters2873 LOL..not just your feet. The whole car feel like is riding on a magic carpet rolling down the highway.hahaha. If you're curious, check Jay Leno's garage channel "Citroen DS" to see what I'm talking about. TK Joe.
That is correct. The owner asked us to remove the cosmoline because this is a California car, kept in a climate controlled garage. And on top of that, we re-protect the car with a clear modern protective coat… tell the rest of the Rolls-Royce forum that we said hello
Amazing car and amazing work (as always). Moral of the story, if you want an old classic car, buy one from California where it's warm and dry. I'd hope that the underbody wax coating that you removed gets replaced else that's going to be a problem.
Do they not realise everything they cleaned off the underside (the yellow-brown finish), is what the factory applied as an undercoating protectant? I agree it may not be “very attractive” but that’s what they did and is the reason why Rolls-Royces of the era suffer minimal underside rust issues. They just destroyed that - and the originality - in one session! Additionally, soapy water and a scrub brush are definitely NOT the way to treat Connolly hide. Unbelievable, and I hope the owner reads this.
We are very well aware, as is the owner, that we are removing the cosmoline. In fact, he’s the one who asked for it to be removed. We’re in California, and these are garage kept California cars with little-to-no worry about rust. As you can see from our past videos.. we do this often and know exactly what and why we’re removing what we remove. You’ll see sometimes, we leave it and work around it. And most times, we are reapplying a more modern, clear protective wax to replace it, in addition to Waxoyl. Additionally, Connolly Hide, for the non-pompous audience, is also known as… leather. We are using a high-quality leather cleaning formula, a leather cleaning brush from Swissvax, and finishing with Swissvax leather milk to condition the hide after cleaning
What a difference, well done! I wish I was not so far away, so I could bring my R129 Mercedes SL500 in for such detailing. By the way, what is the typical cost of such service? (Dry ice underneath/engine compartment, interior detailing, paint detailing, etc.?)
I grieve for how this type of work destroys the sealants and waxes that are essential to protect a car from turning into a pile of rust. Which is how many of these "cleaned" vehicles will all too readily become.
Thankfully, we’re in California, as has been explained for years. We don’t have much worry about rust, and these cars are kept in climate control garages. The owners know exactly what theyre asking us for. And, we reprotect the car with a modern clear matte protectant after dry ice cleaning
Hello. First of all, great channel and great videos as well. A little doubt: isn't it cheaper to wet wash and detail both undercar and engine compartment and then use dry ice technique? Isn't dry ice use intensive and expensive as so?
Oh dear! Do you realise everything you cleaned off the underside, is what the factory applied as an undercoating protectant. I agree it is not “very attractive” but that’s what they did and is the reason why Rolls-Royce’s suffer minimal underside rust issues. You just destroyed that and the originality in one session!
In the comments they explain that they recoated the underside with modern protectant that will last the life of the car. I don’t know why people make such assumptions for detailers working at this level. Clearly a Rolls Royce owner would only allow them to touch the car if they were the best.
