Mercedes C-200-PICS HEAVY

One of the worst car i ever detailed....Full of scratches,swirls,RIDS,cracked paint,dull clear coat etc etc..Total time work on paint 10 hours :doublesho:doublesho
The car arrived




Lets see the defects on direct sunlight

















I tried almost everything on this car....Each part defect needed different compo to repaired...At the end only 90% of them had been removed : (
So in general i used Megs 83, Menzerna RD 3.02 on PFW 6,5'' and LC 6,5'' Orange pad with rotary
Megs 80 on LC polishing pad with DA polisher
Sonus paintwork clearness on polishing pad with DA polisher
DWG X 1
AG HDW X 1
No tyres wheels and arches done....

Some more damages






50/50 on the hood



50/50 on the rear spoiler



50/50 on the fender



And some after pictures

Re: Mercedes C-200-PICS HEAVY










The owner told me that he didn't know that this is the actual colour of his car.He bought it a year ago as a second hand and the dealer polished it for him...He thought that it was darker than that and know it is much more brighter....
Thanks for looking again :thumb:
