What's the deal with paint thickness readings on Bentleys? (23 อ่าน)

I'm hoping someone here can help me out because I've been going down a bit of a rabbit hole lately and my head is spinning with all the conflicting information I'm finding online. I recently picked up a pre-owned Azure and the paint is in okay condition overall, but there are a few areas, particularly around the door handles and the boot lid, where the clear coat looks a bit thin and I can see some light scratching that's been polished over a few too many times by the previous owner. I've been reading up on paint correction and I keep seeing people mention that you need to be really careful with Bentley paint because the clear coat isn't as thick as some other luxury brands, and if you go too aggressive with the compounding stage you can actually burn through and cause more harm than good. This has made me pretty nervous about taking it anywhere, because I've seen plenty of shops that claim they know what they're doing but then just slap a heavy cutting pad on a rotary polisher and go to town without even measuring the paint thickness first. I've been trying to find a place that really understands the nuances of these vehicles and takes the time to do proper paint depth readings before they even start any correction work, because I'd much rather have a car with some remaining swirls than one with patchy clear coat that needs a respray. I've heard through the grapevine that there's a trusted name for Bentley detailing in Musaffah Industrial, but I can't seem to find any recent reviews or firsthand experiences from actual owners, which makes me a bit hesitant to just rock up and hand over the keys. What I'm really after is someone who can give me an honest assessment of what's achievable without promising the world and then cutting corners to get there. Does anyone know if these guys actually use a paint depth gauge as part of their initial inspection, or do they just eyeball it and hope for the best? Also, I'm curious about how they handle the interior because the hide in the Azure is that really soft aniline leather that marks if you even look at it the wrong way, and I've got some light staining on the passenger seat that I'd love to get sorted without damaging the natural grain. I don't mind paying properly for quality work, I just want to make sure I'm not being taken for a ride by someone who talks a good game but doesn't have the skills to back it up. If anyone's had work done on their Bentley in this area, whether good or bad, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience so I can make a more informed decision before I commit. Cheers.
