This car is a 2006 Mercedez CLS 55 AMG. it has 18000 miles. the paint was in pretty good shape considering the car sits outside all day every day. This isn't a daily driver, but since it isn't garaged i wanted to go with a LSP that was going to last a while, so i went with 1Z Glanz wax.
The paint had a lot of RIDS, so i needed to do a 3-step polishing on this car. i spent a whole 3 DAYS on this car just to make it absolutely flawless.
thoughts on
M95- i like it, it has a pretty good work time, but i found that it doesn't cut as much or finish down as fine as
M105. Especially on this ceramic clear coat it was hard to correct the paint.

Before pictures. notice the hedlights were fogged up before i got there.
the Brake calipers were full of
grime and brake dust. P21s Wheel gel took care of this problem!
look at how dirty the clay was! (don't mind the black rubber marks)
