HD: 2009 Mercedes S550 (Pics+Vid)
Got this car from a referral from the other Mercedes I just did. Car wash tunnel regular, which scratches even Mercedes Ceramic Clear Coat. Lucky for me, the scratches weren't too deep, but still plenty and required a lot of work. The car was really beat up for only have 9,000 miles.
Mixed some polished for this one, couldn't have turned out better :mounty: Was going for about 80% correction, got 95% instead Wash: Meguiars Gold Class 2BM w/ Grit Guard Sheepskin mitt Uber red and blue WW drying towels Clay: Adam's Gray Clay ONR Clay lube Uber red towels Paint: Makita 9227C/3M Perfect-It backing plate Step 1: Uber Green/M105 Step 2: Uber Blue Polishing Pad/40% PO203S, 60% PO85RD CG's Monster towels Uber Original MF Towels M105 inside handles LSP: Gloss-it Concourso Gloss, liked this a lot! Uber Red notched applicator Uber No Name Super Plush towel Misc: 303 Aerospace Various Brushes and MF towels Meg's Wheel Brightener Folex Meguiars Hyper Dressing Meguiars APC + Meg's Endurance Tire Shine Leather Master's Vital Reconditioning Cream Leather Master's Strong Cleaner UQW in door jambs Surf City Grime Destroyer Stoner's Tarminator Meguiars All Metal Polish 0000 Steel Wool Poorboy's Wheel Sealant Rims, cleaned up the face with a Proline Grout Sponge, Wheel Brightener in barrels and stubborn spots, then PB Wheel Sealant x2. Tire dressed with Meg's Endurance Tire Shine, GREAT PRODUCT. Let it soak in for about an hour, then buff off with a crappy MF, nice satin shine, looks new but slightly better :mounty: before:  after:     Emblem Clean-up:     Paint, Beat up from all of the car washes, holograms from the dealer, not pretty and definitely needed some work for a car with less than 9,000 miles! The Green/M105 combo was amazing, almost good enough to one-step it. Holograms were extremely light and only visible after IPA and very acute angles. Followed up with 40% PO203S to cut the holograms, then 60% PO85RD to really gloss the paint up. Worked extremely well :applause2: Befores  Dirt:   Clay after 1/3 of the hood:  MUCH WORSE IN PERSON:    Testing different combos, took about 10 tries to find the right one.     50/50  Finished:              VIDEO: YouTube - Mercedes S550 - Horizon Detailing Please rate and comment!
