Re: Metallic Black Mercedes S600
The total process ended up being the following:
Wash complete exterior
Extensive cleaning of tires, wheels and wheel wells
Claybar treatment
Rewashed
Wiped entire car down with a solvent, then alcohol to remove any wax, oils, etc. that may interfere with the polishing process
Wetsanded deep scratches with 2000 grit sandpaper, followed by 3000 grit and compounded these areas with M105 with a yellow 6-inch Edge wool pad
Buffed complete exterior with M105 using a yellow 6-inch Edge wool pad, going over each panel a total of 3-5 times until all of the deeper scratches/marring was removed
Buffed complete exterior with M105 with just a touch of OP using a yellow Meg’s yellow Solo foam pad
Buffed complete exterior with Ultrafina using a black Meg’s black Solo foam pad
Alcohol wipedown
Danase Wet Glaze by hand
Carnauba Moose Wax by hand
FK-425 wipedown
Polished headlights with M105, 106ff and sealed with Clear-Seal
Zaino Clear-seal on wheels
G-techniq nano glass coating on all exterior glass
Dressed tires and wheel wells with Super Blue dressing
Complete interior detail

Re: Metallic Black Mercedes S600
zoomzoom- Thanks Angelo! Gotta love the V12, but I wouldn't want to pay for gas driving it every day.
tdekany- Thanks Thomas!
mr.ikon- Thanks!
itb76- Ha, ha.. no kidding. I can't imagine what it would have looked like if it had a soft clear coat! Thanks!
