Before I begin, I have no pictures so don't kill me!
Many of you have read that I detail and care for on a regular basis a copper colored single stage paint1978 Mercedes 450 SEL with 22,000 miles.
I rescued the car from a horrible detailer 2 years ago who somthered the interior with Armor All extra shine and rotary marks on the outside.
This year, I used #80 with a white LC polish pad, 2 coats of #7, 2 coats of
Souveran 24 hours apart and then another coat of #7 on top of the
Souveran. The chrome received Wenol blue and the rubber received Autoglym Bumper Care. Windows received Turtle Wax glass cleaner. Door jambs received Eagle One wax As You Dry.
The entire interior received Blackfire interior cleaner and 303 protectant. Plastic received Plexus and the seats received
Pinnacle Leather Cleaner and Conditioner follwed by
Pinnacle Leather Conditioner.
The carpeting received NO cleaning, just a vacuum. I would NOT test the 26 year old carpet with a cleaner for fear of losing color. Just a wet MF and anail brush to raise and even the nap in the carpeting.
A lot of hours with tiny brushes, q tips and only the best MF's (Yellow Sonus, Magic Towel, CBT and I love the Autopia Khakis)
Aparantly the judges loved it and the other Mercedes owners fawned over it! They all wanted my number to work on their cars!
The car was professionally photographed in front of the Mercedes headquarters in NJ. My client received an engraved plate.
He was thrilled and called me from the show to thank me over and over again.
I am hoping for more business from this. He said he would get me a picture. Hopefully I can scan it and put it up for you to see.
Thanks for reading
