Today's playground was a navy blue 1996 Mercedes S500. Car was severly swirled and had buffer marks from dealership....  Anyways, I proceeded with one of my normal combos...
Procedure:
1. Wash with QEW
2. Klasse
3. Poorboy's Polish
4. NXT Tech Wax
All done by hand.
BTW, I'm going back there on Wednesday to do their Baby Blue Porsche Carrera!

Very nice job! A question though...Why Klasse before a polish? A polish with any kind of abrasiveness will remove Klasse?
Needless to say, nice work!

Well, I knew that Poorboy's would remove Klasse, but I wanted to remove alot of old wax build up that was on his car first.....sounds complicated, but doing it this way had his car come out really good. You wouldn't believe how bad the swirls were! There was so much wax build up, I went through several MF's and lost count!

I can't wait to do the Porsche! This is my first Porsche! He didn't mention anything about me doing it until he saw his benz after the first pass with Klasse! His porsche has very gritty paint and definitely is going to need to be clayed and polished, but after examining the car, I must say this porsche is going to look sweet!
